Wanting to purchase a 02 or 03 Maxima?

I'm thinking about purchasing a 02 or 03 maxima manual tranny. I would like to get some feedback on known problems that you have with these models...Also what do you like about your max? Thanks for the heads up!!!

Ive had mine for a couple months, bought used for around 15K, 49K miles SE. The CD changer left side speakers do cut out once in a while, i would take 6 cd's with you on the test drive and make sure the BOSE system works. Also make sure all the recalls are done. Other than that have fun!!

Options I highly recommend:
Heated seats & wheel, climate control, HLSD if you can find it.

the whole HID theft thing is making me paranoid but other than that i love everything about the car. the suspension is a bit weak in turns, but i plan to get a FSTB and RSB to clear that up. get one with all the options, you won't regret it.

CAUTION: Many used base SE or slightly optioned SEs were used as rental vehicles. Check title history before you buy, unless this doesn't bother you....
