So i picked up this car on thursday. It was their daughters first car. 1998 Nissan Altima GLE fully loaded. Story was she was driving down the freeway and the car shut off. I listened to it turn over nothing seemed bad. Figured worst case, it needed a headgasket. Towed it home, got it to fire off ether once, figured it was spark or fuel. I was messing with it alone on friday. Pulled the cap (brand new distributor, cap, wires, and rotor.) set the three screws for the cap on the fender, pulled the cap. Another screw fell out (wtf, where did this one come from?) looking at it... touched the rotor and it just spun and spun around.... when they did the new parts they didnt tighten the screw on the back of the rotor enough and it wiggled loose. I lost said screw when it fell out. Best part. I paid $75 for the car and a new rotor with a screw was $14. $89 car to hold me over until tax time ish when i look for another pathfinder or a 3.4 4runner. :) If anyone has any hookups on some cosmetic parts or know where to find them for this altima let me know. Figured i'd share my story.

Oh, and i need to find out why the rad fans don't come on..... at all. :( Over heats when idling for extended periods of time.

It does have an ugly side :( (hence the request for cosmetics) but the leather interior is almost flawless.
