Well, out with the WRX, in with the 2003 SE

Traded in my WRX wagon yesterday on a 2003 Gunmetal metallic Maxima SE. Got $500 under invoice plus $1000 instant rebate, couldn't pass it up. Paid $23K plus tax. Car is impressive. I actually got it for my little brother but I'm sure I'll borrow it from time to time. Got $16K trade in on my WRX. Pretty remarkable. So far so good. Car is awesome and I dig the color. I wasn't crazy about it until I saw it in the light. Cattman y pipe on preorder already and hopefully he'll reease headers for the car. I'm making a custom test pipe for it as well as b-pipe and still debating on an intake. We'll see.

Re: Well, out with the WRX, in with the 2003 SE

And they say that Maximas have lousy resale, like their the only ones. Good move

I do see that you have another WRX in your future though. I'm curious, why wait for the WRX STI when the Lancer EVO (is it VIIII?) is just around the corner, since the EVO is the supposed king of that type of vehicle? AWD turbo rally killer.
