Found a 97 GXE 5 speed

Well, after searching for a 97-99 5 speed Maxima for a while now, I found a great car. It's a dark blue GXE 5speed with 62k miles, new clutch 10k miles ago, it's in outstanding condition, and has really been taken care of - the Carfax and mechanic inspection passed no problems, and the best thing is I don't have to deal with any dealers as it's private party.

The previous owner is a Student at UCLA, and his dad bought him the car but it basically hasn't been driven apart from during the summer, for the last two years. It has about 10k left on an additional warranty.

Other bonuses - the "essential first mod" has been done - Diamond clear bumper lights. It has a rear spoiler and

I should pick it up tomorrow

The only thing I don't like is the rims, they are some cheap 15" aftermarket alloys, but as I plan to change them anyways, they'll do for this winter and then maybe in Spring I'll go for the OZ Superleggera.
I'll post pics when I get it and it's stopped raining.

Finally, the sun came out, so I washed it and took it on some twisty roads today.
Here's some pictures of the new love of my life..

how much did you pay? make sure your headlights aren't blue (same for corner lights) and take off the lic plate cover...then you'll be legal!
how much did you pay? i bought a 97 gxe 5sp (stock + floor mats) for $6000 cash from a lady in Universal City 3 weeks ago. I'm still all stock, except for hyperwhite interior lights. Got several projects going on with it, but it's a slow process since i'm a graduate student and low on $.
you're going to stillen day, right?
