acklac7 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Listing this for an old professor of mine, car is legit, any/all problems are listed below. Craigslist price= $1797, he'll take $1500 firm. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/3498262830.html http://images.craigslist.org/3Ic3Ld3M85N15Ec5Fbccc1e1a11858c5c111a.jpg 1993 Infiniti J30 3.0l V6 148k The Good: Paint is in excellent condition, as well as the interior (seats are beginning to crack a little but still in great shape)brand new tires & brakes. Engine purrs, Car Handles well (although there is a slight rattle coming from the right front) , overall a great daily driver. The Bad: Engine makes somewhat of a racket at idle due to a bad camshaft sprocket bushing - a common issue for these cars and seems to be benign, more annoying then anything else (doesn't seem to affect the engine/performance what so ever). None of the windows are 100% working, most will become problematic after a few days as the (window) motors are beginning to fail. Common problem for these cars, an easy $100 will solve the problem, Sunroof Motor is also on its way out. Occasionally the belts will squeal at startup and in the rain, although they don't seem to affect the engine nor the handling of the car whatsoever. The Speakers are also dead, however the aftermarket sony receiver works fine, buy some cheap speakers and your're good to go. Jim, 614 940 6681.

31rx7 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 My wife had one of these for about 10 years and it was a great car. Ditto on the window motors. That's a good price if the car is as clean as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Does this guy live off of Kenny Rd. near UA? If so, I've seen the car. OSU Boathouse is a neat backdrop...making a mental note to use it anytime I sell a car/truck in the future. Good car! GLWS to him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 good luck with sale. I put 245k on a g20 before the engine went out. The older infinities are great cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Does this guy live off of Kenny Rd. near UA? If so, I've seen the car No, but he's mentioned there's another one sitting on Kenny and I believe he knows the guy who owns it. OSU Boathouse is a neat backdrop...making a mental note to use it anytime I sell a car/truck in the future. Yea I try and do all my auto photo-shoots down at Griggs, was driving around trying to find a place for a good shot and was like, "wait a minute here, I got an idea...". Just an FYI you're NOT allowed to park down there, or even drive down there, I got lucky, for some reason they (Row Team) temporarily removed the concrete barricades so I drove right on down. Every other time i've checked since then they have been back in place. Also if OSU / Pri$$y crew elite catch you down there I promise they're going to write down your plates and immediately call the cops, even though it's technically public property.

Yea it's a really nice car, absolutely as clean as it looks. Fires right up no hesitation/stumbling, you punch it, it goes. Probably the best handling sedan I've ever driven (RWD BTW - alot of people don't realize this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acklac7 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Not sure on the belt, said he pulled the cover off and it looked pretty fresh, car has been very well maintained it's whole life so im guessing it was replaced at the recommended millage.

Fubar231 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Would he take $1000 cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Would he take $1000 cash? Just talked to him, nope. He's sort of a bad-ass old timer who loves cars and is sorta stuck in his ways. He'd just assume let it sit until he got $1500. That said a couple of other people are interested, he said he'll get back to me about potentially shaving a little off the price if it doesn't sell in the next couple weeks.
