well tonight I sold my 4th gen.
time to go find a different max, probably a 3rd gen though. or an I30

 

y not get a car thats not over 10 years old??? upgrade to the 09 maxima test drove it and i love it.

 

How bout a G35 sedan? If you're gonna get something newer, get something that'll last you a while.

 

brian get urself an fbody...

 

IS300 5spd

 

+1

 

... get an I30 from an old couple. You know you still want a 4th gen

 

whyd you sell your 4th gen just to turn around and buy another one?

 

i 2nd the f-body comment.

i can never understand. He prob wasnt realy feeling it...i guess.

 

WAY out of my budget
WAY out of my budget, and I don't typically keep cars that long
Been there, done that. not even remotely useful for me.
hell, no. RWD and stick ain't happening where I live
that's my hopes
I30 > max. I've had both, the I30 felt like the better car, and the interior was better
C5 = more than I currently make in a year
don't care for the 4th gen max.
the I30 felt different, and the 3rd gen felt way better than either.

budget keeps me from going to an I30 A33, we shall see what I find next, I didn't expect to sell the 4th gen when I did (totaled the van earlier in the day) so now it will be whatever comes my way for $500 and keep looking for something better for about $1500.

 

i agree my 3rd gen had more pop than my two 4th gens...

guess its just lighter.

 

nope, they are very close in weight. the 4th gen I think actually weighs less.

on a related note, i am negotiating on a 98 I30t. i want to see if he'll come down to what I have. if he does I will be thrilled for a while.
if not, i keep looking and reminiscing of the days when $50 got me a VE5 $200 a VE A/T with nice leather, $400 an I30. those were the days.

 

I would go with either the G35 coupe or sedan. Your choice though.

 

Wouldn't be a bad idea but the OP already said that is out of his price range.

 

hmmm a rwd car wont work where you live.... Get awd talon with lsd there quick and they feel good to drive.

 

see sig

 

Your Maxima looks awesome!!!

 

I have to agree. You make me wanna get a 3rd gen.

 

awd talon with lsd??? maybe audi quattro is lsd but not dsm awd.

 

way out of it.

got 3 kids, no 2 doors. I have looked at some, but they almost all have issues.


haven't seen one in my price range that is nice enough to justify it's cost

 

I dont think my I30 is old couplish




BTW to the OP, mine is for sale if you are interested. $4000 will take er home

 

not a bad price, but out of my price range.
the original I30 plain were very much old coupleish. that is actually how I got my original I30. old lady decided to sell it after letting it sit for a couple of years, and NO maintenance prior to that. base models look old peopleish to me. the "t" adds alot as does the color. my original one was black

 

What price range are you going for? . $4000 isn't bad at all.

 

^^^^^

 

Theres a fresh 3rd gen on my block with a kit, and man oh man theres sumtin about 3rd gens when done right. Its gotta be that little spice of retro (probably the tail) that the 4th gen dismissed.

 

Get a Honda.

 

 

omfgz....

I emailed them asking for the VIN, if they get it to me and it verifies VEdom it may become my next ride.

 

no hondas, acuras I've done.
unless you count the 93 civic hatch we picked up for my brother

 

Looks good to me. Go for it.

 

it's listed by a dealer though, whom I do not trust. maybe i will swing by tonight and give it the once over and yank the vin.
the pics show a GXE dash though

 

Yeah I noticed that on the chicagoland website; hopefully they just made a mistake and it's a VE; or someone just messed the picture up when posting and they have a VE as well. Good luck on that.

 

actually if you look, that whole interior is GXE.
Anyhow, I just drove to the dealership where it is supposed to be, and the car isn't there. neither is the other third gen they have been advertising for months.
oh well, now my hopes are on successful negotiation for the I30t tomorrow night, cash should speak loud enough for me.

 

jeeze you could atleast upgrade to a 5.5th gen at the minimum.

I'd like to +1 the IS300 suggestion. 5speed, it weighs a lot and it a bit slower than a stock 4G but waay classier and handles much better, plus add some mods too it and it will feel peppy

 

what can you possibly get now adays for 1500 that won't crap out on you in a month? why won't you use the 1500 as a deposit and finance the rest, whethers its 5k, 10k, 15k or whatever. Even with 5k im sure you can get a pretty good car, but 1.5k???

 

see price restriction
1. no job
2. you can get a decent car for $1500. been there, done that, just did it again



I bought a 98 I30t for $1650 earlier tonight.
I need to fix some odds and ends (fog light, tail light, mirror, and reset airbag light) and she'll be good to go.

 

Nice, Brian. Got some pics?

 

none of my own yet, I picked it up 3 hours ago.
John already stopped by and checked it out.
