Hey you guys im new to the forum but have learned a lot in the past hours. Well i got my used 06 Nissan maxima on saturday. I bought it for 21,000 i gave 2500 down payment an traded my 1992 Saturn. It it a good buy It has 43000 miles it is the SE it is fully loaded except no GPS. i has leather 6 cd changer, bose system, heated steering wheel and seats and sunroof. They also added a 7 year service plus warranty. I love my car and handles great i am a 19 year old student and have to say it is a nice first car. i want to know what i need to know about the car and how to take care of it and if it is a reliable car. Thanks

 

You're a 19yr old student and you bought an 06 maxima?

How the F*ck can you afford that? I was poor as hell in college....or did your parents buy it for you?

 

my parents gave me the 2500 i just traded my car and am paying the 300 dollars a month plus my insurance which is another 300 i have a job so im making a sacrifice i have part of a scholarship to pay for college so im not to worried about it

 

Well...ok, whatever floats your boat I guess

Personally, I would have gotten a much cheaper car, somewhere in the $5000 range.

 

humm well it sounds like a good deal to me. it is from the dealer right.. so you got any pictures and what color is it? you should also look at becoming a team-driven member..

 

it is from the dealer i will post pic soon and how do i become a team driven member

 

you bought a car without doing the research first?

 

6th gen forum FTW. I read about every informative thread there before I bout my max new.

 

see, Justin knows his stuff

 

i did do some and thats why im here to learn more and to ask

 

hey guys don't make fun of the newb.. he has a maxima and he's stuck with it now.. it's not like he can just give it back.

 

thanks and im glad i got i love it and still cant believe i had it especially at my age lol

 

not making fun, i'm a mod, i would neeever do that
just how he made it in here already and did not post this in our forum

 

we arent making fun of the guy, you kind of are since you called him a n00b though lawls...

it was a good buy..dont get me wrong...but thats why the 6th gen forum is there...for major research like Justin said...

 

very true.. my neighbor has a 06 and i love how it looks.. i would have bought one but i don't have the money.. oh and team-driven is just a nissan community in norcal.. they have meets every month and adding another maxima would be great.. just go to team-driven.net and check it out..

 

i agree.. research research reaserch before you buy something that expensive.. ha newb noob its all the same.. im from cali and that how we say it here..

 

i did some information my goal was to buy a altima but when i test drove it i didnt like it you can get all the research but what does that matter if you dont like the car after you drive it right my back up was the maxima but i didnt do that much information but im glad i got it and i think i got it a little to expensive but it was my first buy and not my last i hope but thanks for welcoming to the community lol

 

well if you got everything you wanted in the max, it's worth it. no way an altima could have given me what was looking for at the time. when i was pushing the price down, they tried to get me into an alti. i almost walked out on him. but i got my way and still happy 4 years later

 

i know same here when i asked for a lower monthly payment he said that the maxima was too much of car for me and told me to get the altima but i loved the max after i test drove it and i got my deal too :smile: i know it may seem like alot but im gonna try and pay it off in 4 years instead of 5

 

thats a good goal to have.. any mod plans yet?

 

that's the oxymoron i love found on the org.... "i can barely make payments... i want to pay it off early..." so what mods are you doing?

btw I'm guilty too

 

yeah yeah yeah laugh it up.. hey, everybody who owns a maxima want to make it better.. its just what we do..

 

mine is staying stock...

now the AE i want...different story...

 

stop lying. i saw mods in your pics like an org sticker






i need to get me a Stormy mod in mine

 

i want change the grill add rims spoiler and maybe some stripes ill post pics tomorrow so u guys can see any other suggestions

 

no stripes... please?

 

stock is boring!

 

yea i don't know about the stripes.. but intake might be nice..

youre boring...

 

i haz a stripe on meh max...

 

well since you bought it that way, no cool points lost. but easy enough to fix if necessary. unless painted...

 

priceless

 

i dont put up with n00bs dissing meh max...

 

i think the stripe flows well with the paint Only time it makes me mad is when i wax it and it get in the stripe Then i have to go and scrape it out with my nails....

 

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...a-2ce6b03afd6a

the reason i wanted stripes was because it would make it seem like a race car i think maybe black stripes

 

you know there are tools for that... but i confess i use a nail here or there detailing. stripes work with some models, but imo not the 6th gen. some disagree and that's cool.

 

that link is a fail...sorry...

and dont get stripes so it will look like a "race car"...thats just screaming rice...

 

they make tools for that? crap...i need some 3M for my headlight...just one...its doing that yellow thing most cars do...
