Hey guys,
I am new to the org.( but have been "lurking" for years) and I need your input. I am in the market for a new Maxima and having problems with my decision, here are my options:
'02 (not a typo) majestic blue,6spd, leather,meridian pkg,navi(wich I will probably never use) for $25,900
or a '03 super black auto with titanium pkg, for $26,300.
I have read that the '02's had more problems than the '03's.
What do you guys think?. Any opinions are appreciated.

 

There isn't even a thousand dollars difference in price.

Pick the one you enjoy driving the best and go for it.

Personally, I would probably go with the 6Spd.

 

I would pick 02 as well.........also, try posting that in 5th gen forum

 

You'd be insane to not pick the 2002 maxima. Driving a 6 speed with navigation in it will make you so happy for years and years. 1 year difference is nothing and there are no problems/major differences between the two years. save $1000 and be SOOOO much happier. Id still recommend the 2002 if it was more $$

 

GET THE 6 SPEED!!!, not only is it a beautiful color, it comes with navi and all the options, and is slightly less!
You would regret the auto, guaranteed...also, the 2003 doesn't come with the navi and stuff, and its slightly more...
MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS RULE!

Thank you for all your opinions,
I am also leaning towards the 6spd. even though it is technically two year models old. btw. I posted on the 4th gen forum because I currently drive a 97 s.e and I knew you guys are just as knowledgeable about maximas

 

whats up with the 97? what has happened/or is happening to it?

 

Nothing happened to it, in fact is in perfect condition and even thou
is an auto, I still love it, not only that, but it only has 55k miles
on the odometer!!! original owner, but my daughter wants it now that she has her permit (what can I say, she has great taste on cars, just like the old man)so she is getting it.

 

you should post in the 5th gen(2000+)forum and ask those guys. Im sure you will have your answer very quickly there

yeah if you dont buy the 6spd i will find you and end you.
