Re: Any reason to avoid 2000 model year?
Don't worry about buying the 2000. There is some validity to be wary when purchasing 1'st edition cars but the Maxima has always been a reliable/quality car. I have a 2000 with 67k miles and have had the common problems associated with 2k max's but are easily fixed. I just read posts on this forum and did all the work myself and saved a bundle. For the money, Maxima's are hard to beat. Fast, smooth and roomy. What else besides a 10 sec 1/4 time could you ask for. Take the risk, you won't regret it.

2000 being the first year for the 5thgen, should it be avoided? Any weird problems, proprietary parts, anything that should make me avoid the 2000s?
I had made a longer post but someone apparently deleted it for some odd reason. I checked Search and the FAQs and couldn't find any info on this, so I don't see why it's not a valid question. Alas.
Thanks

I gave him the beafit of head start he took off like 1 sec be4 I did so he got a 1car jump off the line. By the time I was through 1st I was right next him and pulled 3 cars by the top of 2nd. The something that you dont like about the 5th gens is the tail lights 
Trust me!

I just bought a 2000SE this week. Paint looks good, they put new rotors on before I bought it. The 17" tires are expensive so beware of the condition of them. Some models had smaller tires. I love the power, ride and luxury. Had an 89 Maxima before this.

Yes, it was Steve. I stayed with him door to door all the way to 2nd gear, where he then pulled away. At about 80 mph, he only had a car length on me, which amazed me, because I kept up so well.
