Buying 2004 Nissan Altima?

Ok, I am looking at an 04 Nissan Altima. I heard those have some issues, but I've only heard of the 2.5 motors having trouble. This one I'm looking at has the 3.5 liter motor. Does anyone know of any known issues with that motor? It has 102,000 miles. I've looked on google. I can't really find anything major. Any advice?

Better have the car checked out before money changes hands. Whiring whine ticking timing chain noise from timing cover could get expensive. 102 k means it will need some shock struts soon. Call with the vin# your Nissan dealer to find out about any campaigns recalls. Good Luck

The 2.4 engine have sensor issue, I've heard the 3.5 also have the same thing. I would stay clear from 2002-2006 model.
