I am about 95% set on getting a 2K2-2K3 Max in the Spring of next year.

I wanted to ask some of the owners of those models or those who know a bit about them for some hints, suggestions, favorite options and things to watch out for, things worth doing to it, etc.

All input is very appreciated.

Thanks.

 

get leather and a sunroof ! YOU want it ! try to get a 6speed, if not the auto puts down a good amount of power to kill anyother family sedan in its class! se or gle youll haveto upgrade your suspension b/c it sucks on our cars, dont spend extra on bose its Sh*t. ok thats all !

 

good choice in car selection. There is a reason why edmunds named the maxima "The Athlete of Family Sedans." oh yea and the bose sound system in my 2k is overrated.

 

Since u have a GLE now, i'm assuming you're gonna stick w/ an auto, so i'm not gonna start preaching the 6-speed to you.

I think getting it loaded up (w/o navi, of course) is the way to go.
And if you can, try to find the Meridian edition. The heated steering wheel is the ****!

 

Replace the tires on the way home from the dealership.

 

Buy mine...2k2 w/ 40k Grey Lustre on Frost cloth. Its lowered on Teins full Stillen kit with a MT lip. Its just sitting at my local Nissan dealer for $15,000. You will never find a better deal.

 

Get a 6 spd with HLSD... maybe the Meridian package too.... and yeah, new tires (basically anything but the stock Potenzas)...

 

Your car looked awesome man.... I liked the kit and the way the SSRs matched the color... why are ya selling? Or rather, what are you getting next?

 

Yeah, I got a 99 GLE now and formerly had a 98 GLE, so this would be my third max.

I like sticks, but in my daily driving (about 40K a year) it would wear me out.

As far as the Bose goes, I could care less. I had it in 98 and in 99 (with woofers in the trunk) and it is very good for factory system, but wouldn't mind a basic one to replace it with a screen and some good speakers.

Was Manumatic an option for either 2k2 or 2k3? Any major changes between the two?

I looked, but can't find good data about acceleration 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. Can anyone anlighten me about them for stock autos and manuals?

Thanks
