• Motor Mount on 2004 I 35

  Written by: leftcoaster on Aug 12, 2011 2:16:18 PM

  I just had to replace the motor mounts on my 2004 I35. The mount I had to get was quite a bit more expensive than previously thought because as it turns out, the motor mount has a sensor on it and we had to get it from Infiniti. The repair people ( not Infiniti ) had no idea what that sensor did. Anybody know? Thanks.

  Hello, everyone! my car (24000 miles) has been recently making louder noise when idling, the sound is something like "duh-duh-duh.... " in faster frequency. In normal driving, it can be heard but not quite clear, it may because of road and wind noise overwriting the sound a little bit. Another thing is when I park on driveway (not level) to start the engine, the ignition sounds louder. So I thought something ... Read More

  The IRS uses the standard figure of $0.35 per mile for tax purposes, which may seem high but that's the average amount that it costs to run a car, considering depreciation, wear and tear and gasoline charges. That's about $1050 deducted from your planned offer price. Some dealers still have 2004 models with 0 miles on it and are willing to bargain. What region of the country are you in? Some ...

  I'm not sure if waiting another month will get you a lower price, as the dealer's cost will probably be the same, unless Infiniti corporate comes up with more incentive dollars. Then again, you might miss out if you wait longer, as they might sell out before you get there. The I35 is an attractive buy right now due to the 05 models coming out, at higher prices. Plus, they're already ... Read More

  Is it possible that Infiniti will make an I35 using a body similar to the new Maxima, but with all wheel drive? The fact that there is still a Lexus ES300, and there will be a 2004 Acura TL, means that there is a market for this type of vehicle.
