Had the best day of my maxima loving life yesterday
I sold my 1995 GLE Maxima with 143k Miles, a very dirty car, for $4500. This was 9am. By 6pm, I had dropped $8k cash on a 1999 5spd Maxima with 50! thousand miles!! The car was owned by elderly and they want to buy another new car. It is cleaner than I will find at any dealer, and has been babied since the day it was born.
In short, I am a very happy man. Now i need to learn how to drive a stick shift better than my current 5spd "poor skill".

Coil packs can be expensive, budget for that right now. Once you learn how to drive, you'll be loving rowing the gears!!!

damn man you don't cut anyone any slack do you?

The 99 is probably the slowest 4th Gen of all.

Both my brother and I are good drivers, so it wasnt a driver issue. My point is that you dont have to be so up tight and talk **** to people. You obviously have nothing better to do than try and insult others on the board. Relax and let him be happy about his purchase.

There is no mention about the 99 max on that site! This post is about a 99 max and not a 95. Where are the stats showing the 99 as the slowest? Just because I'm not a post ***** like you doesnt mean Im a noob. So quit talking out of your *** and show me some stats proving that the 99 is the slowest 4th gen.

I dont have a chip on my shoulder. Im just calling you out on your worthless posts. The guy is excited about his purchase and you called him stupid and lazy. It seems to me that you have the chip. If you read all of the things YOU have posted on this board today you will see that 95% of it is negative and worthless. Have you ever heard the saying "If you cant say something nice dont say anything at all."? Im sure there a lot of people here that wish you would take that to heart. Calling me names only shows how you are.

Rmurdoch, you sound like an old grumpy man IMO.
Tight car man, makes me want to buy my next maxima NOW. Buying a new Maxima is one of the better feelings in life

I congratulated him on post 13, everybody, so cut me some slack. I also clarified my position about the cleanliness of the car after he said he bought it "dirty" (see post 14). I chimed in on the subject of 99s after others surfaced their overall opinions on 99s.
Have a nice 4th of July! Obviously the knowledgeable .orgers are off drinking beer somewhere or they would have chimed in by now as to which 4th Gens are fastest and which are slowest. I will be vindicated in due course.

Anyway, looks like you got a good deal. Does it have traction control? I personally love my 99, its definitely fast enough for me, and I haven't had any problems with my coil packs. I know my manager at work had to replace his coils and it wasn't very expensive...he did it himself though. Enjoy the car...I want to learn stick too! I might convert whenever my tranny goes.

99 maxs have cali fed spec restrictions..every year got more and more restrictions...95 was the quickest..then 96..you get the idea..anyway..i may not be knowledgable..but i back up rmurdoch a little bit...on the other hand..who cares..a newer car is newer..better than an older one i guess..as long as the person who buys it like it...it doesnt really matter what anyone else thinks..but good catch man.
