Hey Team! Good evening again. Today, after getting my cellphone swypped in the Nissan Dealership yesterday, I went back today to retrieve it after someone gave it back to my salesman (Weird Sh__!). They were just backing in the Anniversary Maxima-SE to the sales floor as I entered. I walked around it an noticed the factory installed aero Kit on it (Looks like stillen!). There's a sharp looking shift **** on the trans console that looks like somethin' from outer space (Good God!). Titanium trim is on the guages and the dealers base sticker read $27,469.00 and at the bottom right it read $30,464.00 I said to my self WOW!! a $30,000 Maxima, it finally exist. The salesman yells "You get 5 more Horses with it". That's right!! you get the I30's 227hp engine for $30,000. YIP-PID-DEE!! YIP-PID-DEE!! 5 more horses!!. Tell you what!! I'll keep my blk '01-SE ($28,100) take the difference between prices, add a little more money for some serious upgrades from the tuning garages and blast-out right at 300hp for a tad bit over $30,000. Come-on Nissan!! Give us a little bit more boooom for the buck, Baby!!

 

Don't forget the AE includes a VLSD. Very helpful on those hard launches.

 

I don't know, I haven't seen it yet- but built one on Nissan's site- with leather, Bose, and Microfilter the car came in at 29,456. Its not terrible for what you get, the ground effects is obviously where the extra $ comes from. The interior bits sounds like a nice touch. And its somewhat exclusive with the 20th badging- get a 20th ignition key also and floor mats.

The only thing that might not be so good is the lack of the dealers willing to discount (depending how hot and rare this car will be)- from what I hear, there isn't going to be tons to go around (who knows).

I am considering the Acura 3.2CL Type S or this Maxima- need to make up my mind soon.

 

For 28,880 you can get a loaded I30 L, so why spend over 30K?
