Greetings:

I am considering purchasing a 1999 Nissan Maxima SE LTD. It has AT, ABS, Bose, Leather, and power Moonroof. It has 27,000 miles on it and it is listed for $17,700. My questions are:

1. How reliable is this model?

2. Is this model fun to drive?

3. What is a reasonable price for this type of vehicle?

I am interested in any information you care to give me. I would like to be informed from those who know about your likes and dislike regarding this vehicle.

Thank you in advance,

1) All Maximas, no matter what model, are extremely reliable.
2) All Maximas are fun to drive, especially after some modifications.
3) That price sounds reasonable, might be a tad high.

Suggestion: GET A 5-SPEED. YOU'LL REGRET GETTING THE AUTO, TRUST ME!! Look around for one, no matter how much you don't want to right now because you find a good Maxima thats an auto.

 

Well id say thats a bit high price. The car is alot more fun if you get it stick. Trust me alot of people regret getting an auto. It's a considerable amount slower. If you don't care I think you'd very happy with the car.

 

no matter what NJ boy tells you

its not faster than the others


FYI: you can get a 2002 GXE for that price or 1k more

 

Yes, its true. Get a 5-speed and you will be .

 

i drive a 1999 SE Limited and i love it. and yes, the only thing i regret is the Auto transmission. if you can find a 5-speed... GET IT!

 

I have a 4th gen but for that price you can probably get a 2000 model GXE and up and think about 5 speed that is the way to go. Be patient 02 Rolled in not tooooooo long ago. but 17,700 is a bit too much a new GXE retails for around 19,000 put in the little bit of extra cash and get one off the lot NEW.

 

get a new car!!!!!.......18K is a bit too much

 

ditto

 

You say a new 2002 GXE can be had for around $18,000. However, when I check the invoice pricing at kbb.com and Edmonnds.com they both say the invoice is over $22,000. How can that be? Or, better yet, how did all of you come up with the $18,000 figure? Most certainly I'd rather have a new GXE with the 3.5 motor than the '99 SE with the 3.0 motor.

****sst - Hey coach, get the limited. It's got a little built in secret mod none of the other SE's have.
