Yes, but I'm betting it's been in an accident where the rear spoiler/badges weren't replaced.

The cloth is SE trim also.


Looking for a MANUAL?

Oops! I thought you were automagic.

I can't wait to see who drives worse at Firebird once it cools off.

Its an SE that has probably had some serious damage to the rear-end.

1. The "MAXIMA" badge is silver when it should be black.
2. It has no spoiler but no third brake light in the back window either. It has to be an SE with a GXE trunk lid.

Or it could have just been owned by somebody that didn't want a spoiler so replaced the trunk lid.

I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

The real true way to tell is the door handles. I can't see from the picture, but are they painted or chrome?

Best I can tell, they are painted. Meaning its an SE. Really the only thing that doesn't have SE characteristics is the trunk lid.

5 hot chicks.

If you want, buy a bottle of octane boost and try to have less than a half tank of gas. Take out your spare tire if you want for less weight.

Oh and make sure your floorboards are really tight because I was watching Fast and the Furious the other day and apparently once you hit 140 mph, the welds on the floorboard of your car all break.....

Disclaimer: I suck at racing and will probably kill my car on Friday, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Wear jeans if you wanna race, $15.00 to race, gates open at 6:00, racing starts at 7:00ish. See you there, call me if you guys can't find anyone, 480-343-4293 Just look for either the yellow Mustang or the 2002 Grey Maxima with the "Rollout" license plate.

Dave.

Confirmed, it was in an accident

If in doubt, just ask...

I sent the seller an email asking if it had been in a accident and his response was:
yes the car had a hit in the rear which has been repaired two thousand %
I'm assuming the % was suppose to be a $.

Anyways folks, there you have it.

Nope, somebody has learned how to drive a little better, aka shift light. If your running 15.5s NOW, that's about where Phil was with his Stillen Y-pipe, JWT Pop, and Greddy catback so with the INJEN you should be 15.1-15.3 once it cools down.

Nice valence, but WHERE IS THE REST?

I'd love to go, but I'm going to be racing(not the Max) in Flagstaff this weekend, so I can't make it. Plus, IT'S TOO FRIGGEN HOT to beat up my car anymore to just pull crappy times.

I'm definitely down once it cools off, say November.

Post them time slip numbers would ya? You guys should meet up at Alexs' shop.
