Ok, here's my delima. I need to get a four door car and get out of my 240sx, but I need to spend at least as possible. I'm already trying to pay off debt and don't need to pile on a ton more. Whatever I buy I will be trying to pay off in less than 3 years, so the less the better. But I do need reliability.

I've found a 02 SE Maxima with 68k and 6 speed for 12,300 but I really don't want to spend that much. (or really my wife doesn't want to spend that much)
I've also found a 03 Spec V with 43k that I can probably get for under 10,000. Or I could pick up an older Max, say 2000 and pay a little under 10,000 for low mileage. What should I do????

I need to save the money, because my wife and I are planning on have child number 3 in a year or so and at that time she will probably quit working.
Opinions please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

12k! Go with the 6 speed. I am biased but I love my car and still owe more than 12k

 

you can get a 5th gen EASY for 12k

 

Go with the 6spd.....

/disscussion

 

just browse around and look for a 2k2-2k3 6 speed max and you wont regret it at all.

 

Man, I figured you guys would say that. I can't blame you, I love my Maxima's too!!!!

 

Get a 2000 5-speed, don't get them 6-speed oil-burners.

My max cost me $7500.

 

dont even start talking about how they burn oil.

 

Easy.. don't have the third child yet and get the car... less expensive and less maintenance... also less child support .....hehehehe... go with the 02 it will last forever......or get a 00-01
