Just picked up my new daily, a 98 altima GXE and I love it, it is a bummer that I had to get rid of my 98 tracker funmobile, and my 96 caprice.

No huge plans besides replace the left front fender, repair the scuffs on the body, and shoot it satin black with some new 15"x8" white steel wheels runnin some stretched rubber.

perfect daily, been looking for one as a daily for awile. nothing in the right price range has come in yet. the only real common problems to look for are the intake manifold gasket breaks and leaks, causing usually cyl. 3 or 4 misfire and rough idle. there is a trick to do the gasket if it ever happens hit me up. the rubber egr tube under the BPT valve rots out too

I had a customer bring one in 2 weeks ago with a very low rough idle, it needed a new IAC which was a pita to get to, not too bad of a job but the clips took more time to get off then the whole job. I just love this thing only options it dont have are leather, alloy wheels, and moonroof. plus it is in the family! i got it for $2,600 and it only has 89,000 on it.
