I forgot these were a thing.
Yeah, I was looking at them when I bought the Sonata. Supposedly it's easy to crank up the 2.5... but I think I saw a bunch of people talking about another reliability issue with that motor in another thread?
In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :
Badges on the decklid and description seem to indicate that this is a 3.5 car. Which is strange because it doesn't appear to be the full SE-R Altima which was a thing, but it's a standard V6 Altima with 3 pedals. If there's any reliability issues with them I wouldn't known.

Woops, didn't follow along to the listing. I think the Altima SE-R came later in that gen's run for a couple years, and added 6spds, an LSD, and more power. But, I think it's all the same VQ35 as in a bunch of other places... so should be pretty bulletproof. Might be an interesting Gastropod, depending on condition?
In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :
The engine in this particular car is “making noise”, so I’m not too sure how bullet proof this one is. We had a Maxima with this engine that was pretty reliable. I had to change the water pump and starter. Not terribly difficult, but time consuming.
