After a year of fun with the Infiniti G35 Coupe I'm going back to the Maxima. This time to an 02 or 03. (last one was a 2000) Due to the high payments and buying a house very soon.

Now for my question. Are there any differences between the 02 and 03 models? If so, please list so I can make my decision.

If you know of any being sold in the Las Vegas/So Cal area please advise.

Thanks in advance!

 

There shouldnt be any difference between them.

Check the "For Sale Forum" http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=6

 

There are very minor differences that I have read about in this forum where someone sat in an 02 then an 03 and noticed them. We're talking differences in small trim pieces and the like so nothing major. Honestly, I can't remember them they are so unimportant. Someone may be able to chime in about the little differences but maybe not...

The only major difference I can think of is the fact that 03's could get the TE option and 02's could not.

Did some 03's get an updated MAF or did all the 5.5's get it?

 

Again? Really?

02 only comes with a 3.5
03 has an optional v8 4.5

 

common now....

 

C'mon

He is asking a perfectly valid question. It is OK if we tell him to search, but to give invalid info like that is just sick.

The optional V8 is a 4.6L Ford V8.

 

Just search on google. Only difference is 03 came out with the Titanium Edition. 6disc CD changer in dash, different wheels, trim, etc. look it up.

 

Here you go:

The Titanium Edition Package

Maxima's new Titanium Edition Package is a new option available only on SE models. The Titanium Edition Package features a Bose® audio system with AM/FM in-dash 6-disc CD changer, front seat side-impact supplemental air bags, in-mirror compass, floor mats and stainless steel sill plates with Maxima logo. It also offers titanium-tint color accents on the center console, titanium-tint accent stitching on the steering wheel and shifter, and alloy wheels with bright wheel finish. Valued at over $1,600, the package will be offered with an MSRP of $999.

"The Titanium Edition Package takes the fully equipped standard SE model and adds an even higher level of 'cut-above' amenities and features," said Kirrane. "This package also greatly enhances Maxima's already great competitive value, laying the foundation for what we believe will be another outstanding year of Maxima sales."

 

The 03 TE edition has a compass in the rear view mirror, I'm trying to find one to replace my 02 mirror... Also, the rims on the TE edition are darker and shine a little more than the regular se wheels. Theres more little things, but those are the ones I know...

 

there pretty much the same, it doenst really matter which one you get, unles if you want thr TE, their only on the 03.

 

Why are you guys still commenting? Everything is in my post.

The years are different......I WIN!!!

 

Ones Newer than the other

 

 

an 03 will have lower miles than an 02
an 03 will have more warranty remaining than an 02
an 03 will be more expensive than an 02
