Just saying hello! New to the site and the car (bought it about 4 months ago). My name's Gary and I'm from Windsor, CT. My job has me driving all over the state every day so some of you living in CT may have seen me.
I was lucky enough to snag up an '04 with only 7,000 miles on it (not bad for a 5 yr old car!)

welcome and let me b the first to tell you to make sure you get friendly with the search button at the top. Not tryin to be an asshole, i'm just tryin to save you from getting flamed multiple times by people on this forum. If you need help with it, its probably been asked already and with the search you should be able to find it.

The story I was told was that some old guy bought it because "the car was sharp and he had money to spend". He put 7k miles on it in 2004 and then threw his back out or did something horrible to it and parked it in his garage for two years (he didn't want to give it up...can't blame him) before finally selling it back to the dealer. Once the dealership got it back it somehow sat around for another two years before being sold at auction to the Nissan dealer I got it from. I got lucky roaming the internet, it was up for sale for less than 4 hours before I got down there and bought it.

Oh yeah? my company is actually in Windsor too. It's off of Day Hill Road (TRC Environmental)

Just make sure you flash the ECU to the latest version, change the plugs/coils, oil, coolant, especially for a car that sat that long
