Is this really a GLE (check this pictures out)Bought grey lustre SE instead pics here
My 00 Max was totalled so Im in the market for another one. I came across this car and believe me Im Just baffled. Its like A GLE with SE features. Now if you look carefully, you will see the black tail lights (SE right), the Spoiler (SE right), The third break light(GLE right) the rims look a little like GLE but just check out the interior. It says nothing but GLE from the black dash cluster to the wood trim.
Please help cos Im really confused.
I want to buy this car so immediate feedbacks needed.
Thanks
Here are the pics

It looks like a GLE with SE taillight swap. The interior looks like a GLE and remember SE comes with dark emblems on the trunk not the chrome ones. Only thing SE about the car that the pictures show would be taillights.
Here are some pictures of my SE... hope the comparison helps.

The door handles are chrome. And please remember that it has black cluster and a third brake light in the back which has GLE written all over it.
And I forgot to mention its a 2001 Maxima
here is a picture of the car from the side
Notice the Chrome door handles

GLE.
As you said, SEs do not have the 3rd brake light on the parcel shelf as they all came with a spoiler and the spoiler has the lights. (I am having déjà vu all over again!) Also 2000 SE`s emblems were 'smoked', as can be seen in Sammzway's pics.

Thanks guys
I ended up not buying this car. For 2 reasons. Its a GLE with traction control and plus the guy selling it was not really honest with me. I ended up buying a 00
SE with cloth interior. It has 117K miles. I bought it today 12/08/05 for $6500. Its like a DEJAVU all over again since my new car is an exact duplicate of my totaled Old car. Its grey.
Do you guys have a complete black or gray leather interior for sale?

Am I wrong or is a "minor" accident classified as non-salvaged? I mean the car could have theoratically been in an accident that caused $4999.99 and still be considered "minor".... I would say find out where the repair work was preformed personally call them and check their reputation. If he isn't willing to provide receipts of the damage repair there is probably a very good reason. Also check the shop out yourself. He could have gotten a check cut for $4900 in damages and took it to a second or third rate shop and put chinese crap on.. Check the rear bumper cover for proper aligned holes, newer welds,etc. I wouldn't touch the thing without first seeing the repair receipt and checking the shops reputation myself. my $.02 worth

Here's Nissan info on the 2k3 model
http://www.nissannews.com/nissan/200...ma/index.shtml
My GLE has side airbags, which I gather were optional only on the SE Titanium edition, so you can look for other features on that edition (the aluminum sills, for one) to try and deduce which is which.
Hope that helps

you have a gle with an se tail light swap my friend.. i have the 2000 se, your interior is a dead give away. and like someone said up above, if the door handles on the exterior are chrome, you can answer your own question.

I just found out from Nissan that most of their 01 GLEs come with rear spoiler.

yeah I now know its GLE but the part of the guy not telling me the whole truth about the car made me change my mind

well I get different opinions just like I'm getting on here. And from the nissannews link Its all an option to have the extras. Does the front stabilizer bar give away that its an SE. not that its a big deal. they're all the same except I have 6 spd manual. 03 and mine has side airbags also

Sorry I didn't see the post where you said, you didn't buy it. Hell yea, that's a great deal. I just bought a 00 GLE that needs a small amount of work. Been asking if its a good deal for 2 days, noone will respond. Guess I'll give it a bump.

You got a great deal on that car (assuming it's in good condition). I bought a 2000 SE back in April with 165,500 miles, fully loaded except heated seats...but I think the interior was brand new (at least it looks like it, and it's black interior, when the code under the engine says it should be gray.) got mine for $6650...runs great
