surprise us.

 

Do '99's have a faster steering rack? The front end looks the best.

 

i would have to say 98.
in my opinion the 98 is the best 4th gen look.
the other ones either look too round or boxxy.. in some places; the 98 is like the hot chick on a girl click. :O

 

'97-'99 all look the same.

 

Exactly what I was going to say.

The tailights/trunk of the 95-96 drives me crazy. It's SOOO ugly. If you get a 95-96 get rid of the granny lookin trunk and the front ends look like a fish with its mouth open

 

1995-1996s have some nice things Nissan cut for the refresh. Glass headlamps, cornering lights, cloth-covered interior A,B,C pillars on GLE models, etc. Lighter, too. More of a sleeper than the '97-'99.

1997-1999s look like a proper sports sedan should. +1 on Arctic White Pearl. It looks best on a '97-'99 SE.

Just a matter of preference.

 

97!

 

Ironically everyonew seems to be parting with a white one honestly the prices arent bad either but it seems the consensus is either 97-98 I just dont want to keep spending money on a coil pack but I am still reading that 99 max thread dont know why maybe I will luck up like most on here

 

I've had 4 different colored 95-96 Maximas and finally upgraded to a 98 and I REFUSE TO LOOK BACK!!


98!!!

 

Everyone seems to want the 97-99 style, that's why I like the 95/96 style. Not as many people like them but I do. It adds to my uniqueness.

 

 

It depends on which front and rear you like. As far as reliabilty goes, stay away from 99's.

 

95 SE or 98SE FTW. actually 98 is the best in all reality.

 

im with yuh

 

Hm which front end?
'97-'99?

-or-
'95-'96?

 

I have a 99 and have had no issues as stated above. I havent spent a dime on it besides oil...

 

Cause your stock.

 

95 better when its time for inspection

 

I Second This Motion!

 

95 cause of the emissions where i live, i dont have to take it in at all.
i do prefer the look of the 97-99rear end, but thats an easy enough swap that ill do in time

+1 for the white comment, theres just something about it that looks so good.

 

lolz

 

I say 97 or 98...they were the best 4th Gen years IMHO

 

so, out of all these comments
did even figure out what year your gunna get?
because its just gunna keep going on and on.
Why dont you just pick the one the suits you best.

 

Yeah this is gonna go on forever. Pick 1, post pix, do whatever your gonna do already.

 

Why? My 99 has 120,xxx and is still going as strong as ever... It runs great and I am very happy with it... I also havnt spent a dime on it except oil and accidents I am modded

 

+10000



Like a gas mileage thread, this is going to be one of those threads that gets revived each year by new members seeking 15 posts, with random posts like "98", "96", until 2015

 

honestly I am looking into the 98 that seems to be the rite move unless i see a 5 gen for the rite price and good miles but thank yall I thought the miles out there would be crazy but they are pretty average nothing over 120k so i am feeling confident

 

i have three 1999 nissan maxima's. and that's all i have. i'd say go for the 1999, especially if the coil was already replaced on the car you are buying. good luck

 

id say 97-98 i like the front end better but i love my 96
