Thinking about 03 Altima 2.5S

I found what I feel is a really good deal on an 03 Altima 2.5S. The car has only 34K miles on it and I know the guy has really taken care of it with services, detailing, etc. I have driven it and loved it and also let a mechanic friend of mine just look around it and at the engine, etc. He said I can't go wrong with it. I can get it for $9500 and it has a full tank, lol. A guy I know that is a service writer for a local Nissan dealer said I should stay away from it because they had problems with oil leaks and head gaskets. I just want to hear more opinions.

Thanks

The price is right and they are good cars. I'm surprised to hear a pro mechanic slam the car, my personal mechanic has only good things to say about them.

I have a 2002 2.5S and love the car, it rides nice, looks good and is good on gas.
