HELL YES. You won't regret it one bit. From time to time you'll miss the 4th gen, but you will be happy regardless.

It would matter if he was trading it in, since he's selling it, it doesn't.

Despite the good price, the car in question does not have leather seats and the mileage is on the high side.

If there is no sun roof, I would say forget it.

i would keep the 4th gen and just put the 3.5 in it because thats the best part of the 03 maxima in my mind anyways.

you can just swap a 3.5 in since you're already a stick. it would be a bad *** combo. the only thing that 5.5 would have on you would be a nicer/newer body style

the 5.5 has a much nicer and more sophisticated front end than the 4th ! but the lines of the 4th flow much nicer than the 5th !

Uh, no. The 5th gen has a stiffer chassis and it shows in the iihs crash test.

i like that 5.5 gen. but in your sig it says
"soon to be 3.5 equipped"

does that mean you are doing a 3.5 swap in your 4th gen? if you are, **** gettin the 5th gen, stick with your 4th and do the 3.5

It never went into his car, it gets prepped and either I'll install it into someone elses's car. Ship it to someone to install in their car, or buy a 5spd Max and Install it and Sell the Car.

I thought the '03 came with polished wheels as opposed to those on that car which is the '02 style, at least in Canada they did. Nice colour, blue calipers & pinstripe can be fixed, but the lack of leather means it's a base '03.

the wheels looked like normal 5.5th gen wheels. It did have blue calipers, Bose, cloth seats, spoiler, sun roof, manual climate control, and mainly a drive by wire controled vq35 under the hood

clutch was pretty grippy too.

If only the timing was right but there is a 5sp Max in New York with a bad motor for around $300. If I had the money and space, I would tow that bastard down here.

hoepfully I'll find a similar deal in the next couple of weeks.
