new car question help me out!!!!
I am thinking about getting rid of my 2000 I30t for a little faster of a car. I have a few cars in mind for a replacement.
CAR MUST BE BLACK!!!!! all other colors are ugly!
1- 2002 Nissan Maxima
-6 spd or auto?
2- 2002 Lincoln LS V8
3- 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SL/SE
If you guys can help me choose one of these cars i would greatly appriciate it. And the money well lets just say that it needs to be in the 25,000 and under range. I like the bigger sedan type cars so the Altima might not be a good pick. and if you have any other cars i looked over help me out

04 Acura TL, but you will have to hand up $35k.
If you have time cleaning and waxing, a black Max looks great. I have two GLEs -- a dark green and a sheer silver -- and the green takes a lot more effort to keep it looking good. Also, dark colors are bad in the summer because they trap heat.

You say can only drop 25k, just drop another 1K or 2 for tax you can get "new" I35 or a G35 aready. Plus it comes with leather or bose, sun,etc. I would just get I35 and put the old body kit or 17 rim in.

Btw, the V6 Altima only comes in the SE trim. And it's also larger than the 2002 Maxima.
. The 6sp Max should suffice also.

Dangit, i should stop being so unclear in my posts 
The Altima has a longer wheelbase, taller, *slightly* larger headroom space and overall passenger volume.
The rest - legroom, hiproom, shoulder room - the 2002/3 Maxima is either tied or larger.

Altima handles better in stock form(independent rear)
5 speed is sick- (fastest FWD sedan ever tested in C&D) Nice dual exhaust
Its newer in production and equally as big overall
And it seems to be responding better to mods than the MAX......to date
