There is no difference with the 2k2 and 2k3. Depending on what trim you're getting if it's a SE the 2k3 has a titatiunm edition pkg, if I recall correctly. The only thing you probably have to watch out is the MAF error code, I have been reading and hearing a lot with the 2k2 that Nissan had to put a new MAF from the 2k1 since the 2k2 has a 3.5 and they redesigned the intake. Althought, I think you should be good to go. Oh one other thing, since you live in the NE states, I would caution you with the HID theft, it's been common on the Maxima with HID, so I would check they got the DataDot retro fit kit done on that car.
