Another Rochestarian here... I was working out the logistics for buying an X coupe in Jersey as well when the local dealer got pretty much the exact car I was looking for in off lease for an amazing price. I think if I hadn't called the day it came in, the price would have changed...
I can't see lowering mine either. I do plan on getting 19" wheels though.
btw, I had a '95 Maxima with minor mods. Stillen strut tower brace and intake. Sold it at 140k miles and got a 2006 Accord Hybrid, which was a mistake.

I bet that happens more often than we think.
Yes. Sold it to another member on the Org who's also local to Rochester. We're in touch, and he's exceedingly happy with it, which in turn makes me very happy knowing I paid it forward with a good car and a fair price to a decent guy. In fact, today (this very day
), he's installing a set of Tein SS Coilovers on the Maxima, which was always one of my biggest regrets. The Tokico Blues were great struts, but they're a million miles from what you get with coilovers.
I don't measure it separately, I've just been watching the computer's average, which is starting to level off at 18.8 mpg, which absolutely sucks compared to my 25-28 mpg Maxima. Oh well. I can deal with it.
That's the plan. To take what I learned from the Maxima, and carry it though with this car. To lightly modify it year over year, and keep it for another 8 to 10 years (knock on wood).

Since you bumped this intro thread... here's a wrap up of some small visual mods since purchasing the car, starting with Magnaflow exhaust tips and a flat-black vinyl wrap on the rear bumper:
And this is an amber window tint on the fog lenses:

This Xmas my wife is getting me a Cusco FSTB. (I haven't told her yet that this is what she's going to surprise me with, LOL!)
Next year's mod... I keep flip-flopping like a MA politician between Hotchkis sways or Berk HFC's. Have no idea which way the wind will be blowing, but those are the next two mods, one after the other.
