"No such thing as a 99 SE-L"
"No such thing as a 99 SE-L"
I was in such disbelief when I heard the parts guy from Mike Pallone Nissan say that, that's not true is it? From what I gathered, they made the 99 SE Limited cars later on in 99. I asked to see if they had any badges for the 99 SE-L maxima, and he's like, "I've been following Nissan ever since the 70's and never heard of the SE-L here in the US. Maybe it's something in Japan but not here."
I knew he was wrong, but I left. Is this guy just misinformed? I want to find a badge pretty bad.

ive seen a few non-org member SE-L's ... somehow i don't think these 40 y/o + family guys go out of their way to import japanese badges, hell I doubt they even know they have a special edition of the SE.
there is most definitely an SE-L

he is an idiot. i have a SE-L.the main diffrences is the gauges and the wheels are titanium tinted look much better than the white stock se gauges. the mats are diffrent with SE-L logos and the badging on the doors.

yeah i don't get that either but SE-L wasn't a maxima only thing. there is sentra SE-L's and Altima SE-L's basically it was nissans way of getting rid of there extra cars.
Yeah, well I mean the badges look so cool (esp. on my color) so if I stumbled upon somewhere to buy it I'd go for it.. even though I don't have the SE-L.. I guess what I'm thinking of doing is kinda gay, oh well, probabaly won't find one anyway.

Why not put a "turbo" sticker all over the car? Or nitrus stickers? I heard special badgings add more horses...to the ego of the car owner.

dont u already know that anyone who works for nissan knows the least about them (besides a small percentage) and they just like to sound so smart.
this salesman asked me if my car was an altima, and i asked him what he thought it was, and he is like, im pretty sure its an altima, im like no, its a maxima and then he goes "oh i should have known, the hood is biggerr."

Beg to differ. I have worked at 3 different Nissan dealerships, and for the most part the guys were knowledgeable about their prduct. The difference comes into play when the salesperson doesn't believe in the product. I tried to go sell Honda, and I couldn't sell one if i was giving it away...
im lost, i have a SE-L but my rims arnt titanium, and my guages are white.. but i have the SE-L badges and the SE-L floormats, and i doubt the 60 year old man i bought it off of went out of his way to get those....

Come on, it's not like there's much of a difference at all between the two cars.
