Maxima's don't have traction control. If you want it, you'll have to get a tranny from an Infiniti and get vLSD axles. vLSD (traction control) comes standard on the Infiniti's.

You should buy a Maxima that has a dying/dead tranny and replace it with an Inifiniti one

Yea you're right. Just checked Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com/tmv/used/1999...num3.0.nissan*) and it's an option for the 99 SE and SEL
