I'm looking to buy a 00-03 maxima, out of everyones experience here is there a big difference from 00 to 03 other than price and horsepower???

2k2kev

other than price and hp, nope.

2000/01 lower price
2002/03 more hp

it's up to you. I suggest you test drive both and decide for yourself.

and with your first post, welcome to the org.

please please please look around for one of the many forums on this subject....this question always ends up starting a war between 5th gen and 5.5th gen guys about who's car is better, etc etc etc...

Do we have to do this again?

DING Round 2? lets hope this doesn't turn into 5gen vs 5.5 gen again. they are both great cars with lotsa nice features. try them both out and decide for yourself. goodluck

But to not start a war here and just give you the basics:
2k2+ has more hp, more torque
2k2+ has alteeza tails, <2k1 has black tails
2k2+ has HIDs (you can put them on <2k1 for $$)
They have different body kits and bumpers, all subjective what looks better
2k2+ have different rims
2k2+ have 6-speed manual (<2k1 has 5-sp)

Otherwise, it has alot to do with what options you get on it - oviously you can get a 5th gen cheaper than a 5.5th gen with the same options.

They are both awesome and you will enjoy any of them....drive them and see, and get what you can afford. welcome to the org.
