Does it have HLSD? If it does, go for it! Mileage and price seems about right. Make sure your carfax that bish.

I love my A33.

i, personally think it's a good deal
u should just ask them if it has hlsd, and insist on $13k w/o it

that is on the cheap side.. you don't need LS in GA... will never need it

go check it out and go from there. that's for about what i got mine long ago, but my list price was way higher.

See if you can bring it down to $13k.

You could always use LS

It was an option on the Maxima but quite frankly its not that big of a deal most of the time. During regular driving the torque steer is quite managable, just hold the steering wheel if you're about to goose it. Ditto for the track as there plenty of quick lsd-less Maxis go down the strip. But of course its nice to have no doubt.

hmm.. so i'm guessing that getting the NON lsd and buying a quaife LSD would be better than the stock one any ways right?? or even the Phantom grip, which is not as good as the quaife but still helps.. and thats like a couple hundred bucks..

If you don't ASK you won't GET...
Never pay what they want. Prices are always set to allow a discount. If you want to pay about $13K, offer them $12.7K and bargin back up to $13. Use the mileage as leverage. Be persistant... They can only say no.
Worst thing would be for you to just say $13, get it, and have to wonder if you should have gone lower. It's a game... enjoy it... have fun!

OH MY GOD... That is a great price... 2 months ago when I was looking for a 5th gen, all the 02's I saw where in the 14-15k range and all the 03's where in the 17-18k range. I guess cars are cheaper in the South, maybe I should have taken the 1000 mile trip...

Don't buy it without a CarFax.

I got my '03 TE with 66k on it for 11,500 - immaculate shape. No one wanted a 6spd black/black leather in upstate new york, so the dealer was eager to get rid of it, so I was eager to buy it

That is exactly what I did. Bought it out west and drove it back. It was a great experience. The guy didn't even know it was a TE. Only paid 15,300 for it.

When I was looking for mine I saw a beautiful 02... With like 30k miles for 10k. Ran the good old carfax, and it was a rebuilt title.

Get the carfax before you jump in, make sure it has no accidents and if it does, use that to lower the price. Good Luck bro, and 24.95 is nothing for making sure you are not getting a lemon.
