Uh yeah! Totally depends on the condition and price they are asking obviously...and make sure that you get everything cosmetic that comes with the AE (lip kit, titanium finished 17" wheels, AE engine cover, AE headlights, etc.). I've come across many listings for "Anniversary Edition" Maximas that are clearly not AE Maximas. Huge plus if you get the engraved metal keychain tag that designates the production number of the AE. Oh, and the 5 speed is much more enjoyable!

I already own an a/e. Is there a way to get the production number keychain you speak of?

I bought my AE with 24K in 2003. It now has 172K and still runs great. Only routine maintenance.

Go for it, great car!

I bought my AE brand new back in 2001. Just cracked 400K (km).

Original trans/engine and just about every other part as well. Other than a new rad, this car has really been trouble free.

FWIW, I didn't get any fancy key chain.

Are you expecting to get a "no" on maxima forums?

Anyway, I own two maximas and one has taken a serious beating and still starts up and drives everytime at 150k. Idk if you should get that one because you didn't say anything about it.
