Does it have any power? I wouldn't mind some luxury over sporty if i'm getting quality as well.

140hp, 130ish ft/lbs.

They use a sr20 motor that is somewhat detuned. Lower redline :down:, lower compression :down:, and milder cams :down:. Theres alot of mods out there for it. Find some '91-'93 sentra se-r cams and throw them in there, they're worth 6 to 8 hp after i/e. If you really feel like modding it for cheap, you can buy a bluebird turbo setup for ~$700 used.

In 2001, it was ranked the single most reliable car by JD power associates, or c&d, or something like that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't even think to look for a bimmer. And, I'm going to test drive the Infiniti tomorrow.

This is actually the second cheapest Si I've seen in the past few months. the only other one was another 99 black si with 10k fewer miles for $12k. Anywhere you look in the east coast, it gets pretty pricey. I don't know how it is anywhere else.
