Up to around 2010 I used to see about 1 3rd Gen a week. Come to think of it this year, do you guys see them anymore? I only saw about 2-3 in 2011 total.

Curious if this is just in Canada. I imagine most are in the JY by now.

 

I usually see about 3-4 a week not including mine.

 

Rarely seen on the streets, always seen in the junkyard. There were never a lot of 3rd Maximas where I live, and there still isn't. Accords were all over the place (and still are), Maximas have never been.

 

I see them all over all day and in good shape. I'm in LINY.

 

I see about 10 or 12 per day in great, good, reasonable shape. I see 2nd gens too. As I've said before...every other car is a Max around here.

 

I still see some around from time to time. Probably 1-3 a week. I had an older lady come into my work yesterday driving a beautiful white 2nd gen. It was in pretty much perfect condition.

I see more 4th Gens then anything. Maybe that's because I drive one.

 

I still see quite a few 3rd gens but not many in good shape. They're mostly junked up GXEs.

I see more 5th gens now more than even 4th gens. And many of the 5th gens I see are pretty ragged.

 

I very rarely see a VE...maybe once a year.

 

I see 3rd Gens in Chatt on a daily basis & I usually see a new (to me) VE every week. I know of a handful of VE's in decent shape that are for sale in the area as well.

 

I see a lot in the northeast, but mostly GXE's. I think I've only seen 1 VE 5spd in a parking lot in the last year. ( I always have to go check the SE's out)

+1 on seeing a lot on LI

 

I've seen like three other 3rd gens besides mine, and a handful of 4th gens. Most people around where I live drive American cars though.

 

parked in a redemption center about 200yds from where I work, same color. think its a GXE tho. Tempted to go pull the door panel inserts off it for mine... That's about it. I suspect that mine will be one of one or two at the NNE meetup in October.

 

Usually see around 4 or 5 a week. Some are nice. Most are like mine. Bad paint.

 

i seen only 6 of them on my way to Perris, and 2-3 towards San Bernardino

 

Daily about 4-5 a day....in So Cal..

 

every time the junkyard gets new vehicles theres usually a few 3rd gens, mostly GXE's but about 6 months ago there were 2 VE 5spd. i went on the weekend and there were about 4-5 GXE's

i was told mine was there (i sold it to a private person so it wouldnt get taken there but he took it there), a buddy said that a gold 3rd gen with stickers on the back, CF centerpiece etc was there so i gunned it over and ran through each row 3 times (out of hundreds of imports lol) and couldnt see it, the suspension was all gone apparently though. whoever got parts got a goodie mine. still dont know why i couldnt find it, so either it got crushed early or someone for some reason bought the rest of it whole

at work theres been a few GXE and one old lady with a VE automatic i got to drive it

 

I feel ya on that one. I see one like every 4-6 months. Usually in bad condition. I can't wait to see the look on ppls faces when I pull up on the side of them with the same car but in far better condition than theirs.

 

East TN, see these cars constantly. Needless to say this area is full of Maxima's. I probably pass a 3gen-5gen daily. Add having passed several 6-7gens over a weeks time.

1-2 gens fairly rare here. See one every month or two. Time to time I see this one 2nd gen station wagon in decent shape. Originally wanted to turbo one of the wagons! LOL!

 

In SoCal seems to be a lot.

 

After owning my VE5 for about 8 months I've only seen three other third gens in the Lafayette area.

 

The Pearl white 93 VE MAX that had only 68,000 miles on her drives all around the town next to me since the chick bought it. They gave it to her for 1100.00 and it's the cleanest be I've seen in person in a long time.

 

About 3 times a week maybe more.. Mostly 89-91 GXE's

 

I see a couple a week in Philly besides my 92 SE with 155K on the clock which is still a daily driven commuter car. No weekend driving or errands, just a 2-way 20 mile commute on the weekdays.

 

I see at least 2 a day here. Unfortunately they are in pretty bad shape & usually VTC clanking.

 

Every once in a while I do, it seems like when I do I'll see 3-4 in a week... and that typically fills the monthly quota

 

There is 1 other 3rd gen that I know of in my area, and it's a gxe. I've never seen another VE5 like mine around me... Kind of sad.

 

i see about 1-2 a month....i live in SoCal so everyone here tends to drive something new...

....and they are almost always beat up GXE's

 

I see one every once in a while, mostly in bad shape. Makes me miss mine even more since it was in almost perfect shape interior, exterior and mechanical..

 

Yes here in Houston,Tx I see at least 5-8 3rd Gen/day still rolling....some look nice and run good others are on their last leg!

 

We had a pearl 93 Fully loaded it ran for 18 years past. We sold it with 240K on it never saw a repair shop in all the time we had it. I stilll see them all the time 89-93 was the most reliable generation in my opinion. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...Picture004.jpg

 

3rd gens are 89-94 lol

 

ive seen 2 kind of modded ones in my area i dont think theyre on the org though

 

There actually is a guy who owns a white SE in good condition a few houses up from me I have never talked to him though

 

i life in west virginia but am in pa during the week going to school. i drive a 4th gen but see alot of 3rd gens daily. i dont know the ve's from the gxe's but i know i see probably 5 a day just driving around. i deliver pizza and there's a development that has 3 in a row to itself lol..3rd gens that is

 

easiest way to tell is GXE rarely came with fog lights or a spoiler, SE came with fogs and a spoiler. VE are just 92-94 SE

 

Don't forget the color matched grill along with the saw blade wheels and black trim pieces.

 

yeah 89 to 94 my cell phone automatically fills in the numbers when i type them up on my mobile browser, did you guys think the generation after from 95 to 99 that replaced the previous was better or worse?

 

I've driven both & prefer the 3rd Gen. The 4th Gen is a bit lighter in the front end & a tick faster, but they have issues with oil leaks (and don't handle quite as well IMO). I prefer the interior & exterior styling of the 3rd Gen as well.

As far as I'm concerned it mainly comes down to personal preference. Just my $0.02

 

The 4th generation Maxima's they feel just a little big bigger the previous generation felt sportier and better constructed like a more substancial car it felt alot more solid.

 

ive never cared for Maximas after 3rd gens, i love 1st-3rd gens, 4th gens are alright, 5th-7th are
