Well, I finally decided to trade the 96 Maxima GLE for an 06 Infiniti G35 (Diamond Graphite w/ sport tuned suspension package,18 inch wheels and VLSD)

The Maxima was a great car, but I couldn't resist the RWD G35. Even though it had 180,000 miles it still ran with a lot of power. Here is my old car domain website for the maxima. Please pay your final respects.

so sad to see another pebble beige go... but i dont think youll be missing it any. congrats on your new car!

 

Man people are droppin their max's left and right!

Congrats on the extra displacement and luxury

 

Congrats on the 3.5l RWD!!!! Have fun with it.

 

dont be sad. you have a better car.

 

Congrats on the new car. I had a chance to drive it side-by-side with the A4 3.2 Q and 330i SP last fall, and that drive did cause me to get a new car too. But I kept my 98 SE because it wasn't worth anything in trade, yet it's driving very nicely at 120k. I just put my 2nd set of front pads in with the original rotors, and it stops like a champ. My Max is now like a taxicab--I give it what it needs to keep rolling. Some 2 yr. old girl put a nasty ding in the rear right door a couple months ago, thank GOODNESS I was driving the Max that day.....cheers!

 

Sad to see another one go, but it is worth it. I hope you got the 6-speed.

 

Well, older 4th gens are 10 years old now.

Newer cars have such better/stronger framework these days. So when they get to be 10 years old, they will still feel relatively solid.

I just drive a friend's Lexus GS400 last night. Its a 2000 model. Six years old and feels superb. No rattles, super smooth torquey V8 power. He has it lowered on Eibach springs and has some sort of 19" wheels -- 275's in the rear -- and it still rode very nice with not a lot of road noise. It has a 5-speed Auto. Still with automatic, its plenty fast and responsive.

 

congrats on the new g35, its a nice car. and hope your max goes to a good place or a good owner that treats her well. Id keep the car domain of it just for good memories.
