Anyone here in Canada know if the pricing is going to be going down for the 2001 Maxima? I went to the dealer and the sticker still shows $36966. Now if there is a 2002 Altima to be here this year....wouldn't they need to get rid of the Max ASAP? I'm assuming we are to get the new Altima in around September...right or wrong? Thanks for any info..

 

uh, i don't think they'll replace the current sticker with a lower priced sticker, they'll just offer incentives to move the 01 models as the 02 comes out.

ignore the sticker.
find the invoice price off the internet (edmunds, or someplace similar).
make an offer well below invoice price.
prepare to haggle.

 

I am trying to decide between a 02 and 01. 01 has the incentives and I can apply the money I save to mods. The 02 has more power and refinement but also comes with a premium price tag.

 

I agree it has more power, but i don't know abotu refinement... The grill and those ugly headlamps turn me off. The tail lights aren't too bad though... But I certainly wouldn't mind having the vq35de under my hood.

One question, if 4th gen has the vq30de and 5th gen is the vq30de-k, is the 2k2 a vq35de or a vq35de-k?
