How did you get it for $8k under $34k? Did you show them the benjamins?

That doesn't look like a stock grill! Did the dealer put a Trenz on?

Yes and then for crissake, take off that gigantic boy-racer wing before someone sees it and thinks you have a 4 cylinder engine.

I think that is the Infinti G wing, what's wrong with that?

I say, keep the wing, loose the Trenz.

It is odd to have the mods on it. This would have to be a crazy dealer if they are tossing aftermarket stuff on a new ride.

Could be a previous deal that fell through; but 45 miles at $8k off, I won't complain even if I don't like the grille.

Also, can you change the title of this thread, seeing BOUGHT spelled BAUGHT makes my brain hurt. Thanks.

Doesnt look like it has Nav. If it did, there would be the funny looking flat circle antenna on top of the car towards the back right above the rear window.

Congrats on the new car MaximaRacer_95, it looks sharp.

Greetings folks, this is my first post. I guess it's fitting to show a picture or two of my new Maxima as well. I traded in my 7th Gen Accord V6 for the 2005 Maxima SE with leather and the Driver Preferred Package. The odometer read 21,2XX when I drove it off the lot. I got it for $25,000 out the door (before my downpayment, that is). I just got the windows tinted this week.

My AV6


The new Max!




I apologize if I've hijacked your thread MaximaRacer_95. I am currently unable to create a new thread (not enough posts), so I figured this was a fitting thread.

The Maxima is absolutely a blast to drive. Coming from a Honda, where low-end torque is almost nonexistent, the Maxima hauls a$$.

To me the both look alike, same style. I say wait for the ActiveTuning 4.1 or go with the RedLineMax.

Welcome to the org... Go Blue!!! What does the inspection sticker say? I bet they put all of this stuff on the car and it sat there for a while. FYI to the other folks, the new TX state inspection sticker looks different than what it was on there. He prolly got a good deal cuz it was an old unit they needed to move out. David McDavid has a large separate aftermarket department, so the spoiler chick prolly just buttered up the new car sales manager and put this stuff on it... Good job on the deal.

Does the car have anything aftermarket inside?

inside it is completly stock. only aftermarket dealer had on was the grill and spoiler(not too sure if its aftermarket). there were like 10 maximas with that wing at the dealership(all 2006 models). Could it be because its a 2006 model?

And you like the wing??? Boy, it's obvious people have different tastes. Big honky wings like that are for 19-year-old kids with Civics. They go along with those big fart-can mufflers and race parts decals.

I don't like the pinstripe either, but the Maxima is a more sophisticated vehicle that doesn't need big graphics and add-on wings to tell people it's a serious car.

Just my opinion, of course.

Just FYI, the circle antenna on top of the car is for the Satelite Radio. I have the NAV but not Sat. Therefore, I have no antenna on top of my car.
