Ok heres the deal. Tomorrow will be the do or die day. I've passed up 2 6speeds due to price and both are now gone. I 've got one dealer down to 17,000 for a 2003 pearl white 6sp only option is moonroof w/31000 miles. I have one more car to look at tomorrow and its a 2003 silver loaded 6speed with every option except navi.w/40000 miles. Haven't talked price yet. Let me add that the pearl white is flawless and the interior is extra clean. Which one would you choose.......

 

I like white...but it's your personal choice

 

I guess you know which one I would pick.

 

Fully loaded silver...

 

Lower miles + Perl White = Winning Combination in my world :-)

 

the one with the leather

 

The silver one is TE almost for got that.

 

Silver maxima....especially if its TE

 

Silver one without a doubt

 

Wouldn't that make it an 03? I thought TE was only available in 03...

 

He says it's an 03 in his first post doesn't he?

 

I would definately say the TE...I love TE's

 

I almost got a silver one, go with the Silver...

 

i would get the one with leather, and TE wheels look better than regular ones, imo.

 

Yeah the silver one is looking good only because my 02 max that got totalled was a base model only option was moonroof and i'd kinda like to have leather this time plus i regretted buying an auto a week after purchase. damn the wife. she only drove my car like 3 times in the almost 3 years i owned it.If the white one was loaded it would be a no brainer but i kinda want an upgrade. the miles don't bother me that much because my last car had 43000 and it was solid.

 

Yeah he does... for some reason I was only looking at the year in his profile...

 

If the silver one is clean and the price is right, go for it. The additional 9K on the odometer is nothing. I prefer leather and white shows the dirt too much, whereas silver hides it.

 

definately the silver one. That is what i wish i could have found. Plus it is loaded. Less work for a pimp ride.

 

I say Silver too.

 

defintely the white one!

 

Get the TE.......you won't regret it. I'm also assuming that they both have HSLD.

 

White power... Get the white one.

Even though the other one has leather. Tough call.
Toss a coin?

 

I second that!!!!

 

White Shows All Flaws Tar Rail Dust Exc Silver Is The Way To Go.white Is To Plain

 

white one doesn't have hsld, not sure about the silver one. Don't really care if it does or not the main feature is the 6 speed

 

go for silver with te, white will show dirt like ****, plus the te wheels are much better imo. btw, did you get my fax?

 

IMO, HLSD is a must if you're getting a 6-speed... but that's just me.

Test drive 6-speeds with and without, and you'll see the difference...

 

nm, i just read my pm.

 

I thought you only felt the hlsd during corner, but i not sure

 

It should also help with the horrible torque steer, and it grabs and goes much better, than without one. I highly recommend a 6-speed to have HSLD, well worth it. There are guys here that have the 6-speed and now want the HSLD with it, and conversion is too much to be in sight. You'll end up wanting it in the long run. Might as well not regret it later. GL with whatever you decide.

 

Exactly, but don't tell me you're not planning on taking any corners?

In all honesty, there are many debates as to whether Nissan's HLSD is any better than an open differential. I just think its nice to have when taking sharp corners and in slippery conditions because it does make a difference. Don't get me wrong, if you're driving in ice and snow, its not gonna make the Max a snowmobile. Its just an option that can't hurt if you're looking for a 6-speed.

 

if you're getting preowned, i would almost always go for options and conditions...hence silver for me

 

... and I just think that silver looks better...

 

I guess i would be nice to have. The automatic has pretty nasty tq steer so i would figure the 6 speed must be worst. If the silver on has it then i am sold but if not the oh well. I ve been driving this rental for a month now and my time is up so i gotta get something by this weekend....

 

silver one. more options, same tranny and the milage difference is minimal.. good luck

 

Silver maxima would be my choice, plus it's a TE...

 

silver one....i have an 02 glacier pearl 6-speed, and although i love it, i would have way rather had a TE if i had a choice! good luck on your purchase!

 

Go loaded. The mileage is a non issue. Silver and white are two nice colors. I ended up with a black because the price was right. 13,400 for a loaded 02 with 54k.

 

I missed an opportunity on a silver max, but i'm happy with my gray lustre...keep us posted...good luck

 

holy cow, the title of this thread is right: it is a hard choice.
white is my favorite color on a car (black and silver are tied for 2nd) but the silver is a TE..haha..sorry, not much help here except i just wanted to say "you're right, it's a tough choice."
