So I went to Nissan and got me a 5spd GXE Max for 20K out the door even. Then I got a 90 SE 5spd, drove that like I stole it for months, sold it with 300K miles on the odo, I did a tune up on it, clutch, all new injectors. Car is still runing like a champ with about 340K miles on it- friend has it. Unless Nissan does something with the 6th gen, I'm not buying another Maxima... I tend to keep my cars till they just decay.

Was that 20K out of YOUR pocket?

Had a 96 White SE.

They better make the 7th Gen better or else it may be the last max for me. Either that or I'll try to find a low mileage 2k3 when it's time to get a new one and just mod it out.

yep 20K out of my own pocket, cash deal. I been saving for a brand new car since I started working as a cart pusher when I was 14. Then I had some $$$ left over for mods. It was a GXE 5spd, so it cost 18500 plus tax, licence, it was 20K dollars out the door.

This is my third Maxima. My first was a 90 SE. Black with black leather, ABS, auto. That was my first "Nice" car. Probably one of the best cars I've owned. Handed it over to my wife and bought a 92 SE 5-speed for myself. Man it was fast in its day, but for some reason, just not as reliable as the 90. Maxima's were way ahead of the competition in the early 90's. Now I have the 03 GLE. Must say, it will likely be my last Nissan. I still think its a nice(fast) car, but the nit-picks have turned me off.

Ryals...did you actually scroll all the way back to 2000 to find this?

Oh and BTW...I briefly had a 2000 before getting my 2003...loved the car but was paying way too much for it used and luckily I was able to sidestep into a new 2003 for less money in the end. And yes, I would get another Maxima...but definitely not a 6th gen.

I'm new to this Forum stuff, I sit at work all day a read through this forum, Didn't hibk about it being out dated.....cut me some slack....lol

Hey man, join the club...most of the people on here are bored at work.

I wasn't trying to give you a hard time...I just meant that knowing the amount of threads that get posted here in one week, the thought of scrolling back 3+ years gives me this face...

Anyway, welcome to the org!

4th of 4

Four in a row. 91,95,98,02 All SE except '95 was a GLE. Just can't find anything better for the overall value.... And I tried a couple times, but the final decision always came back to Max

Before my 2000..

I had a blue 93 SE auto in 2000..
I had a black 98 GXE auto in 2001.. which is now driven by my mom and dad.
I had a sage mist green 97 SE 5 spd in 2002-2003
I then purchased the 2000 in 2003 right after selling my 97...

i may still own a max in the future but it'll be a 2002/03 or a 97-99 SE 5spd as a daily beater..

but i'm hoping to get a G35
