Intro
Hey all, I've been on this forum for a little over a year, researching and learning all I can about the Alero. I purchased my Alero March of last year, its a 2000 GLS Coupe fully loaded, even leather which I don't care for being as I live in Phoenix AZ. The car has been very reliable, more so than the nissans I have owned in the past. I have read on here alot of people having severe rust issues with their Alero's but perhaps because I'm in AZ would explain why there's not a spec of rust on the entire car.

no rust here, i think it comes from the salted roads in winter.

AZFire316: Look here for a signup for a meet we're planning around the Oct-Nov timeframe. It will likely be in Tucson, and i think there are others coming from Phoenix as well. I'm in Sierra Vista and travel to Tucson frequently.
Here's the link for the meet sign-up: http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27929
*correction, Im in IRAQ, and will be home to Sierra Vista around Oct-Nov timeframe.
