not a bad price. you can probably talk it down to $5.5k. always check out carfax/local mechanic. GLE is the trim with leathers, sunroof and alloys.

Well, I couldn't bring him down to 5.5k, but I got him to go to 5.8k. Once I get the car, on monday and I get a chance to wash it, I'll post pics. Thanks for the maxima recommendation. The little experiance I have had with the car has really been positive so far.

Whatever you buy, an engine compression test would be time/$ well-spent before you seal the deal. It's a good "indicator".

Alright, I just got pics up.

Other than a corroded battery and a bad muffler, everything seems to be in working order. I put around 75 miles on the car today, and it runs like a dream. The interior is much nicer than any of the alternatives, like the Camry. The only thing that worries me is the fact that the knock sensor sometimes go bad without setting off the check engine light. Is there any way to double check the knock sensor?
