I am pretty sure I have all the options in my 97 SE. My butt gets warm and all 13 cds keep me occupied while the leather massages my back and the seats are powered into position and well you get the idea. Its kinda nice to have all these goodies. I almost bought a stripped GLE and never regret my decision to wait till the next car for sale. peace: e3
I almost got one. They were selling a 98 SE fully loaded with 22k miles, but the dealer wouldn't give it to me for $18k, but they were willing to deal on a 99 barebone SE and that's the one I got. Both cars were 5spd.

I have a '99 SE Limited. Great car...all the goodies available in '99. Mine may be rare in that the paint appears to be the dark green first used on the 2000 model. I think its called Sherwood Green. I've never seen another 99 that color although the dealer had two that color at the end of '99.

Lets start an SE Limited club...
What do you guys think? We'll start a club. "The SE-L club." All of us Limited edition max owners should put "Member of the SE-L Club" in our sigs.

The SE-L has floor mats, badging on the seats, exterior badging, titanium color gauges and last but not least better looking (in my opinion) wheels. Mine is a sherwood green loaded 5spd. I have seen some 99SE-L's that are not loaded. You would think that if they use the term Limited it would be loaded. Basically, the "Limited" moniker is just a gimmick.

1997 Pearl White SE, leather, 5-speed fully loaded. 40,000 miles. Took me 3 months to find it. I wouldn't settle for the auto. I almost gave up and decided to buy different car. My brother has the exact same car as me but in black, 5-speed also.

If you go by rarity, the 5 spd is rarer than the auto. So the 5 spd is top of the line.
But I wouldn't be caught paying for that cheap leather either. No advantage. Gets cold in the winter, hot in the summer. Cloth is comfortable year round. And leather cost more to replace if it's ever damaged. Keep your leather and your old man's automagic. I got just what I want with my bare bones SE Limited. The Limited, by the way, is the badge that all the SE's got in late January or late February of '99. Because it was the end of the production run for the 4th gen.

I'm afraid I'll end up looking for awhile too, but if you're going to spend the time and $$ in/on the a car you might as well try to get the one you truly want.

Ruus would contest to the cheapness of Maxima leather; to him, BMW leather is the one that is crap. I can tolerate cold leather...if I have heated seats of course. I'm confident I could put the effort into mainitaining the leather....and since it is cheap it'll need it.
Oh well..we'll see.
