Marketing - Most of the Peepul what automatics, and are NOT car enthusiasts. Talk about scarce, try to find a 4th Gen manual - they are much rarer - Nissan lost the market for sports sedans to the Germans during that period, and the result? No 5-speeds.

Heck, the US Army was going to make the HumVee a manual transmission until they surveyed recruits and found out amost none of them knew how to drive a manual transmission vehicle. As a result, the spec got changed to automatic transmission!

Easiest way to find an Manual tranny 3rd gen Maxima is on Ebay Automotive.

My friend Aaron who used to live in Stormville had a 4th gen 5spd. I didnt realize they were that rare or i would have bought it from him before he sold it back to the dealer. :-(

I'd be VERY wary of that one.
1. the guy's backing into that truck. look at the shadows under the car.

2. 92-94 GXE wheels. they say it's a 91 SE.

3. If it was a 91SE, it would have black tails, not red.

4. It's got the black window trim, which only comes on SEs..

5. It's got the black stripe on the bottom, which indicates SE.

So basically it's been hit in the back and it's got the wrong wheels. wheels aren't a biggy, but body damage is. watch out if you look at this car.
