damn with all you people wanting 6-speed
so there i was ultra-happy yesterday morning because i finally found what i wanted (for the Xth time) nice, dark gray 2k3 6-speed with HLSD, heated seats and bose, 45K on it.... price $15,900. couldnt ask for more. got out of the house as fast as i could, walked into the dealership (honda d-ship) and asked the guy if they still have it. he said it was sold almost as soon the ad was put on the site. i was so disappointed because the car was EVERYTHING I WANTED. seems like the hunt for a 6-speed with HLSD will be a long one...
then of course there are some dealership in freaking "anywhere" mile vicinity that are selling them for $23,000.

to buy a g35 from a co-worker. unfortunatelly it does not have HLSD but on the positive side it has only 7k miles(not a
typo) it also has navigation system and the meridian package. I am thinking of asking $ 19,800 for it. Let me know if you would be interested, I am in San Diego CA.

Local Hyundai dealer around my work had a 02 6spd with 22K miles in black, asking 15900 for it- leather, bose, sunroof. Dunno if it was a HLSD unit or not. If U think bout it... they probably owned the 03 for about close to 2 years if it just got traded in.... thats about 23K mile a year... and I did 34K in my 1st year I had my Max- I just passed my 3rd b-day on mine and its hitting 90K miles. And my miles are not highway miles for sure :P I would pitty the person who would buy my car in the future... not that its ever going to be for sale... I run my cars to the ground

45k is a lot of miles, especially over a year! 15gs for a car with that many miles, well depending what you want style, speed, whatever, you could've found a 5spd Twin Turbo Rx7 for that price. I found one that had 25k miles on it, red, 5spd twin turbo for 17gs. I would've bought it but I have no money. That's just an example btw there are other cars, but as long as you're happy that's all that matters...

May 31-2001 I bought mine with 3 miles on the odo- had 90K now... I paid 20147 dollars out the door with tax and title, nissan signature gold ext warr- till 60K miles. 01 GXE 5spd with mudflaps, floor mats, and incabin filter- all options I have. Regret buying and not waiting for the 6spd ? Nope.
#15
Warranty what the hell is that!? :P hehehe.. 6spd what the hell is that? I have a freaking auto, it's all good having an auto, especially during roadhead :P Having that free hand to control other things hahaha! =0

I bought my 2002 6spd with about 9800 miles on it from a dealership (non-nissan) in Chicagoland...
Paid a little under 19K.... thing that sucks is that I'm going on my 4th week waiting for the shipping company to find a truck to ship it to Cali...
It was listed on cars.com.... an org member posted about it and I took it from there...

I bought my 6 speed 2 weeks ago. Fully loaded w/hlsd. I was looking everyday and when I saw this one I knew I needed to get there ASAP. Guy said he got about 50 calls for it. I got there and bought it before anyone else could
Use www.cars.com as well and type in the key word "manual". This is where I found mine. Autotrader is good as well.

Yeah, I used cars.com as well to find my 02 (6spd). When I was looking, I couldn't find one for under $15k if my life depended on it. The one I have now is base SE model (no sunroof, leather, Bose) and I got it for $12k and change. The money I saved will go into a custom leather kit, and I still have my DDX7015 and Navi that will go into the 02. So, the only thing I don't have is a sunroof. Oh well. I'm still happy.

I just bought my 2002 max 6sp SE for 13.500 out the door with 75,000 miles on it. I think I got a pretty good deal. Only had an O2 sensor problem which was fixed under my 1 month warranty Soon I will get my front rotors replaced cause they are warped otherwise the car is in perfect shape. Oh and one cracked fog light, but these are all common problems with the max i haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary(knock on wood).

for a few hundred dollars more. Less miles and navigation
system and only a couple of hours away. I don't think an 02
with 7k miles can be found anywhere else

I have an 01 that I bought in mid March and have already put over 7K miles on it. I got it with about 70K miles for about $11K, in good condition and was well cared for otherwise. I'm happy even though I have high mileage since I know it is a good, relaible car which should last me a good 5-10 years.
