ok guys heres my deal.....i got a 93 gxe with 145,000 miles on it.....i dont want to spend money on it anymore cus i dont think spending a ton of money on a car with that many miles is worth it....so im thinking of selling it and taking out a small loan.....so heres my question....with around 11 grand what car would you guys go for?.....im talking 11 grand for the car and hooking it up(well rims and system)......i was thinking to just get a 93 or 94 se cus i love my max and i really cant think of anything else....only other cars i have in mind right now are v6 jetta or gti golf.........PLEASE GUYS GIVE ME FEEDBACK!

 

Get a '95 Max. With some luck you can get one for 9.5-10k and have a thousand to mess with on mods.

 

I'd have to say a 94 Maxima with low mileage. But if you want a change my choice would be a ACURA LEGEND. I think those are beautiful cars. Give it some thought!

 

oh shiiiat i was gonna say the same thing!! if i had more moey to spend i would have gone 4 door legend all the wya. i love that car!! but its 91 and up. the older ones resemble our maxes but are uglier. thats pretty funny, i was thinkin the same thing.

 

Wholly Crap! My sentiments the same!

The reason I bought a Maxima in 2000 was because I did not have the dough for my dream car:

1995 Acura Legend LS

I am still happy with my 91 SE, but I still salivate whenever I spot a Legend on the road!

 

Even though I already replied to this same post in the General Maxima discussionn...


Rebuild, rebuild and rebuild.

Getting your tranny and engine rebuilt would be about $5000. New paint, $2000. Thats as good as a new car, with $4000 to play around with.

 

what's your monthly budget on top of that?
if you use your car and the $11k, you can almost completely pay for a stock 5th gen.

Or you could buy a good condition 3rd gen and just send it to Jim Wolf and have him hook you up with a nice turbo.

 

I'd wait for the sentra se-r. or you could get a se w/ preformance package right now. Invoice on the se loaded is about 16.5. with that kind of down payment you could pay it off in 2 years or so w/ low payments. Intrest on them ranges 2.9-5.9 depending on how long you finance. Plus most dealers would give you 2-4K on your trade, so you'd be financing even less....

ok....heres a question.....how do you guys think a gti golf or v6 jetta compare against an se max?

 

11 G's if you sell your car or 11 + your car?

I'd say you can get 4 grand out of your max.... If I'd have that $$ for a car, I'd get a loaded 95 - 96 Maxima with low milage.... However, I will agree with the other guys about the Legend, those things are beautiful... 92-94 SE would be nice too, if you like the body and interior of your car but want more power. Either way, whatever you get, you'll have some $$ for modifications.

If you are looking to put in a banging system and nice rims, you'll probably need about 3-4 grand for those things, remember taxes on cars, insurance, possible things wrong with whatever car you buy.... I'd hold on to the $$$, pick what I'd like most and look for the best deal, keep in mind you want like 5 grand left over for mods/possible repairs... So you can have about 10 grand for your car.

Out of a 95+ Max, 92-94 SE max, or nice 93+ Legend... The 92-94 Max would be the cheapest, you can look for a loaded one with low milage and perfect condition and pay around 8 grand.

 

i dont know about you guys.....but i'd definitly stay with a max and turbo that bad boy. get a 92-94 SE 5spd....low miles, great condition....and go turbo! i think i'll own a 3rd gen for the rest of my life. i dont need no new car, i'd rather spend the money on my 10 yr old car and make into a beast. then again.......i am a maximaniac

 

5 spd? WTF good is boost if you can't launch with boost? I'd rather get/have an auto. Not to mention the low blow of "Oh, its an auto" after you tool on someone..

 

you know mike........your right

 

I agree that an Acura Legend would be a nice car or even the Acura Vigor they both look sweet. The Mistubishi Diamante is a great looking car too.

 

Yeah if your great goal in life it to go on the quarter mile Mike. Damn dude, get a stick and have some fun!

 

If I'm you I'm putting that 11K down on a 2002 with the 3.5L motor. Save up additional funds for mods in the mean time.
