I think Im going to get a 4th gen. I have had 4 third gens and Im getting kinda bored. My third gen body style is definitely better looking than the 4th gen but I think I need a change and Im kinda tired of this 13 year old car eating my wallet. Im selling the 92SE if anyone is interested you can look at the FS listing here: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=269377
3 grand is kinda high for a 3rd gen with 185K on it. mines got 149K and it has the 5spd i dont know if id even get away with 3K (but i would definitly try !)

dmontzmax- Which 3rd or 4th is better in your op?
I am. Guess the 3rd gen wins.
I can answer that. Dmontz Believes the 3rd gen is better in every aspect, because if he doesn't I will call him a traitor, and that just cannot happen

and some of us prefer performance to looks.
Image is NOTHING
Performance is EVERYTHING
well then the 3rd gen out performs the 4th in acceleration handling and looks so i think i know which ones favorite.
VE 5spd that is
VE 5spd that is
no no no, with Dmontz, to find out his favorite car you must simply pit him with any california VQ guy. within the first 3 replys you will surely find his favorite car. (ok they dont have to be from california, those just happen to be the best fights)

yeah, and I started the engine. Luckily it was a VE because it starts quicker, has more authority, power, and a hell of alot more features, oh yeah, a bigger stroke too.Originally Posted by nubiannupe

This whole 3rd vs. 4th thing is getting tired. I love the 3rd gen and would not trade one for a 4th gen, but a 5th gen is another story. I'll take a 2002 SE 5spd any day of the week.
