Look what I bought over the weekend!!!
I bought a 1997 Black Maxima SE 5-speed
As some of you may or may not know, I suffer from "Autotitus". Which means I get bored of my cars quick-like and end up selling it and buying another. I am getting help for this ya know.
Well my last maxima was an 2002 grey-lustre auto which I gave to my son. Early this year I sold it to a friend and bought my son a 2002 Altima SL.
As for me, this past weekend I bought myself a 1997 max to use as a commuter /fun car.

I think if my just recently purchased 97' Maxima SE had a sister it would be your car. Our cars are almost identical. You even have the tear on the armrest like mine
Looks like a great buy. How many miles?

LIMaxima & maxxxdout = thanks fellas
VQ'rInWLA & Haishun Boi Max = I am only planning on getting a tint done cause it is so hot here in Texas. I don't really feel the A/C with them naked windows. I always liked this body style especially the rims. I am probably going to leave it stock.
infinimax96 = Hey now, why does my car have to be the female? After all yours is the one with the purse. lol
I actually was looking for a white with Black leather interior like yours. Great find there...
btw I have 218K miles, but the car still pulls nicely

It doesn't have to be female I suppose. You wouldn't catch me driving around in anything that wasn't female. If I'm gonna ride in it, it's gonna be a woman. A lot of my buddies are quite jelly of my white on black. I've wanted a pearl white SE for a couple years now. It looks like we both got amazing buys though. I hate Tan leather but I'd still buy one as nice as yours.

just foolin about the female thing, in fact all my Maxima's I have named "Maxine" by default. Glad you picked up the exact colors you wanted. I think people appreciate more of something they have if it was something they really wanted. Like I said that white/black was my first choice but Black/tan was a very close second. I can see why your friends are going gaga over your car. She is super clean!!!!!

These cars with a 5speed are thrilling to drive. I honestly had never driven a VQ with a clutch before. I've driven my mother's 04' G35 with the slap shot auto but it still felt to much like the auto. A VQ with an Auto almost feels like power isn't getting all the way to the ground. Like the tranny is holding it back. Driving the 5speed completely opened my eyes to the full potential to these engines. I felt like a 16year old boy driving for the first time again. Lol
although... I've been stuck driving my Auto I30 for the past 2 years. Maybe I just forgot how fun a clutch can be.

infinimax= Yeah we picked out good names...lol btw, welcome to the forum. You will meet many individuals who are knowledgeable and extremely helpful, and even make a few friends. Now ever now and then you will run into a "monkey" that has nothing good to add but just do a "--OMIT" and ignore them..

That's what mine's on for. It's a 95 so it doesn't have to pass emissions in MA anyway. I pulled the CEL bulb. I figure I can check codes with the scanner and I might figure it out eventually, but for now I'd rather not have the orange light in the corner all the time.
#34
hey man, how do you like it. ive seen it on CL for awhile now in garland area from the dealership. i was actually gonna buy it and used my current as a parts car. but seriously, how does it run?
any plans for it? you should hit up the meets around the area.

Yeah, it was on craiggers for a while but their asking price of $3300 was way out of my league. Good thing they lowered their advertised price and I jumped on it. I really like the way it runs, it is smooth, quite, and still a strong runner.
Yeah I definitely want to attend the meets just let me know...

I thought it was a custom paint job when I got it. But found out it was factory. I got it with 130k. Fully loaded with Bose, power leather, sunroof, ACC for 3,200 about 2.5 years ago.
