I just bought a maxima, been looking for a while now i finally got one!!! Its a black 96 maxima gxe 5spd. The best part is its still new, it only has 23.5k miles on it. I got a wicked deal too. Ill try to get some pics up as soon as i can. thanks for reading, im hella excited!!!

 

Congrats, enjoy your car

 

wow, that's is some low *** milage!!!! How much if you don't mind me asking?
Wow, that is rare... welcome to the Org.. Do me a favor and read the stickies and all of the messages at the top of the page. It is useful info that all beginners usually ask and people here will not answer them because they are sick of answering same questions again and again, especially since they are all posted up there.
Watch out for the Mod-bug it likes to bite people around here and it's contageous.

 

My black 96 GXE 5 speed has 114K on it... tryin to be likeme huh? hehe.

 

i got it for $9300 which i think is a pretty good deal. only few things i dislike, i aint got no fog lights(how much is it to add them?), hubcaps!!! and the chrome on the door handles, other than that the car rocks!!!

 

Fogs are $165 (complete kit) from www.courtesynissan.com for org members!

 

Just a question, but wouldn't those be very hard to almost impossible to install in a '96 gxe bumper, or is it easy to cut the '96 Bumper?

 

I heard it's not hard at all, there is a template that comes with the kit which you can use to help you cut out the holes for the fogs. I don't know what you can use to cut it, but I'm sure the directions will tell you when u get the kit. Many people have installed it. Ask "Max4u" he did them on his GLE.

BTW, Hub caps will go as you will want to upgrade to some rims in a larger size. I have chrome door handles and window trim as well.. I painted my chrome grille body color (superblack) and covered up my door handles with carbon fiber vinyl from www.ap-signworks.com it holds great and looks great

 

Welcome to the board. Congrats.

Welcome! How do you like the 5spd.

 

Wow!!! That mileage is way too low. Did you do a car fax? Mileage can be rolled back. Anyways, "WELCOME".

 

the 5spd is awsome, its actually my first 5 spd car. I really like how the clutch feels in this car, it seems so smooth.

- I did run a carfax, the guy mostly drove it on the weekends and was a perosn who took care of it, I got lucky on this one.


Got a question also, will a 97-99 bose stereo cd player work fine in my car?, i have that broke *** tape deck?

 

Welcome and congrats on your new car.

 

Congrats on your great purchase and invastment. Welcome to the ORG

 

Excellent deal. I'm beginning to want a 5-spd in my 97 SE. Good luck.

 

inv(a)stment? investment? A car is an investment? I want whatever's in your pipe. . .

 

I dont think he meant it in the literal sense...I saw it as him saying im going to get alot out of the car cause i have so little miles and paid a decent amount!

BTW still wondering if a 97-99 Double din bose cd player will work in my car(96 gxe). I got the cheap tape deck

 

Congrats on your purchase. You can put a Double DIN deck in your car by removing the original tape deck and the storage bin under it. However, I don't think you can put a Bose deck in your car, b/c the bose system has separate amp in each speakers.

However, if you are strictly going for the stock double DIN look in your car, you can get a double din Non-bose deck. I have seen them in some Maximas, Altimas, and even Frontiers and Xterras (although the power antenna function is disabled if you get one that was from the trucks - they don't have power antenna). Hope this helps. Enjoy your ride!

 

Car is an investment in fun. Investment in transportation! I invest in my car because it's fun, in return I get joy, so yeah I am not smoking anything!

 

So you dont like the silver handles huh? I was looking into getting some one day. I think they look real slick on my black max. I just have the painted ones.

is there some way we could trade?, i hate chrome....looks ok around the door trim tho...

Thanks everyone for their posts, and thanks hercules, much appreciated info.

 

why do people hate chrome?? i guess the arent ? ...im about to get chrome rims, the chrome door handles would look spiffy, but the body color is cool too

 

if you cant get a BOse system for cheap, go for swapping speakers up front and getting a new deck, if you're nuts, get all four speakers swaped get an amp and a sub like me actually that is considered nothing when you check out some other peoples systems

congrats, now focus on what YOU want for your car, make your own style.

 

Hey I have the clarion cd/tape that maxima came with. It's pretty much the same unit as the bose, at least they look the same! Let me know if you want it!
