Any ideas what I am in for? My last Max was a '96, and I am looking to trade in my P.O.S. Titan for a Max.....if I can get the sales weasel to get the numbers I want, I might have it this weekend.......

 

Really? I thought the TITAN is a great truck? And I was even looking at getting one, until the gas prices sky-rocketed...So what's wrong with it?

 

Its had a lot wrong with it- the advertised Rockford Fosgate Stereo system is nothing more than an Audiovox, I have had to have the front brakes replaced 6 times so far, and have been driving it for 3 months with the front end shaking like a retard on crack every time I hit the brakes because Nissan doesn't have the part to fix that once and for all and they refuse to replace the brakes again till they get said piece. The front seat is coming apart, and I have had to replace the center console because the fabric rolled out........

 

enough said........




ps: where the hell is Massachusetts, MA?

 

ah....fixed. Its been a long time since I have been here!!!!

 

My OEM rotors were horrible so thats something to think about. Not saying if you get an 06 it will have the problem but my 04 did.

 

hey man these are good cars bro, we all have had small things happen, some design flaws in the 04 now fixed on the 05 so the 06 should be better..

check out our cardomain sites, mostly the first page are members of the org... I'm one of a few with 22's on the max.. check out the sig..(the silver one)

 

Sweet - good luck with the new purchase!

 

mate every time I look at them wheels of yours, my bank balance keep going down in my mind .. bloke the tag of yours is going to end up costing me a small fortune me thinks .....

 

go for it bro.... pimp it big in Aussie

 

Im super easy on my brakes, (never wanna have to pony up to pay for calipers/rotors etc if the pads wear out) consequently, my pads show little wear at 40k! There is NO shimmy due to braking whatsoever, I think being really gentle on the car helps too. When I have occasionaly stomped on the pedal I was like WHOA this car has awesome brakes, I never knew!

 

You should of had them give you a loaner car. What would have happened if you crashed because that part was no good. Call Nissan at the 800 number. Don't they have a lemon law in your state?

Good luck on the 6th gen.

 

Well, I ended up finding one today. Got a 2005 leftover/demo, 6 speed, leather, driver preferred package, sensory package and the premium audio package. This thing is a rocket, and I am glad to be back in the Maxima family again!

 

congrats!!

sorry to hear that you had bad experience with the Titan. I talked my dad down to get an Armada. maybe I should do some research on them before getting one.

 

supposedly the have fixed the brake issue with later trucks, but both the Armada and Titan suffered from it. The rotors were just too small for such a big truck.

Anyways, here is a pic of the new toy......

 

Nice, looks just like mine.

 

F5Nikon i got the exact same car nice choice. But man the Maxima sure does have its ugly angles

 

Congrats and welcome.

 

Yeah, don't bash all Titans. You have the '04 which had all of the problems that are fixed with the '05s and '06s. I have an '05 Titan and absolutely love that thing. Read the reviews. One of the best full-size pickups out there for the money.

 

Was 04 the first year of introduction?

 

Oh trust me, other than those issues I did love that truck. It was awesome, I used to call it the Hemi Eater, it was definitely a great intro to the full sized truck world.

I've personally had 7 Nissans, so there is no way I am negative towards them!!
