I don't know if the $5000 you mentioned is all your spending or not.
The best 4th gen(well I guess it's a 4th gen) is a 96 I30t 5-speed. Loaded more than any GLE, manual trans, and SE suspension. If you really think about it the car has every thing.

Yeah dude if I were lookin for a used 4th gen as cheap as possible, I'd be shopping for a 97 5-speed GXE.

97 maxes
I dunno how important this is to you, but no one else brought it up - anything pre 97 can have the ecu reprogrammed, and 97s can too, but you have to get a 96 ecu and wiring harness. 98 or 99 (like me) has no ecu alternative that I know of. Also, 97s have the more aggressive style front grill and bumper. In my opinion a 97 se 5 spd is your best bet (GXEs have speed limiter and GLEs are auto). Or you might not care.

budget constraint?
95 or 96 if you think spending under $8000
97 if you think spending below $9500
Personally, I would get a low mileage 95 and use extra $1000+ for modding...which I'm currently doing
But 97-99 front looks better, only very slightly little bitty bit.
Auto tranny w/o abuse lasts lifetime. Manual tranny with abuse lasts but a second. duh.

I just want to thank everyone for the info I have looked at a 98 se 5 speed its fast as ****. But i kinda like this one 97 gxe auto. See I am afraid to get a 5 speed cause everyone beats the **** out of the cluch and once you replace that the car never runs the same. The 98 se 5 speed with leather is running for 10,500 with 56,000 miles on it. The 97 gxe with leather is running for 6,500 with 80,000 miles on it. I know these maximas last long but I really dont want to get the wrong one and end up paying just for it to start. I guess buying a used car is a roll of the dice. Thanks again guys

I would get a base 97+ 5-speed SE or SE-L if you can find one. They look better than the 95-96. The SE's also have a better look to them from the factory. They handle a little better as well. I would defenatly get a 5-speed though. That was my mistake, I saw my dream Maxima at a good price and jumped on it.
Try to get one with low miles. DEFENATY: If you plan to mod your sound system, DON'T GET BOSE! It's a real pain.
Good Luck!
