my user name - "vqman" - was a spur of the moment decision...I had a 1998 Maxima and a 2001 Pathfinder. TWO VQ powered vehicles under one roof...I thought I was some kind of "vq" stud.
At the time I thought I knew a lot about Nissan's, I had been a certified Nissan Sales Rep, and an enthusiast for years...

Later I traded the 1998 Maxima in for a 2003 Maxima SE 6MT, Titanium Edition, Black on Black Leather...I had it for 25 months, and yesterday I let her go. I sold it to a guy in Washington D.C.

I took her to get washed one last time before I dropped the car off at the place were all the eBay'ers ship their cars...my wife picked me up after the inpsection...

I might miss her, but I have high hopes for what will come of my next major automobile purchase. who knows what that fortune might bring, either an old Q45 for my wife, or a Z32 (w/Twin Turbo) for myself...maybe I'll wait a few years and get a used G35c 6MT...

but for now, it's just the ole SE-R and the Pathfinder.

I will still hang around to give my 2 cents, annoy you all, and make a fool of myself..(old habbits never die)...but I'll be without a Maxima now, and I'll probably never own one again. Unless I can talk the wife into selling the Pathfinder, she may end up with an old Q45 or an old (93-94) Maxima...we are building a house and can use the cash, the house is the better financial investment, as cars do nothing but go down in value (here I'm trying to justify losing my baby)


here's my car domain site, the Max is on page 2

Good luck man! Hard to find our blk/blk 6-speeds loaded up like that. That guy in DC is a lucky SOB!

 

aqlways sad to see a six speed go, we are so rare, hope the new guy shows up on teh org....

good luck on the house, and on the search for a new vehicle, The Q ship is nice, its between that and a 745Li for my next car

take care man a good luck.......

 

Cya round.

 

bye guys!

 

Why did you sell the maxima? for how much?

 

Truly a "heart-felt" moment............

I dunno, is it just me, or are there alot of 5th gen guys getting rid of their cars?? Seems to be close, if not just as many as the 4th gen guys are...

I'm done modding, but my car's staying with me for a few more years

 

the wifey and I are building a house...a big house, and I need the monthly car payments to be applied to the mortgage after we move in.

The SE-R has low miles, so its reliable transport...

It went for $18,250 to a guy in D.C.

 

It's the new G35 bug that's going around.

 

not in my case...but when I can afford a large car payment again, I wouldn't mind one of the 298bhp G35c 6MT's!

Always sad to see another long-time member go. I'll still see you in OT though!

 

maybe i'll see your car around on the streets sometime! The memory will live on!!

 

I just got my 01 i30 and plan on keeping it for 10+ years. All my previous Nissans lasted that long, hope this one does too.
