if you're in the NY area, there is ONE 2k2 SE 6 speed maxima left at nemet nissan on 148th and hillside ave.....i believe it's white and the price is $20,500...but you have to bring in the ad to get it at that price or else you pay the lovely sticker price of 26,800. ad is located at www.nemetdirect.com, click on new cars then click on internet specials.

and in comparison to 4th gen and 2k-2k1's, you're getting an added....

HIDS'
35 ponies, and not from a .org sticker
the headache of figuring out how to put an S/C or turbo.
seriously though, it's a stock advantage. it comes comfortably equipped stock, and bro, you can not beat 6 speed. doin 70 on the expressway on 6th, barely touching 2k rpm. can you say great MPG on a long trip. =)

Hands down...get a 2K2. It's only 33 HP more, though. 222 vs. 255.

if you want a 2k2 now..keep this in mind. Come early 2003 the 6th gen maxima will be out as an early 2004 model. That's when the 5th gen prices drop because of a model change. You can get a better deal then for a 2k2. If your car is crappin' out on you now, then get it now so you aren't carless.

Somone correct me if I am wrong, If I a right..tell everyone GLE02NJ was right.

that is exactly what I am going to do! If you really need to, go for it, otherwise it is best to wait until after the winter, when the weather is nice and the 2k4 are out.
