Well I am down for now. I have been doing research on a new 02/03 Maxima for about 5 months now. Searching the web, reading forums, asking around. Went looking at them this past weekend. All my ducks were in a row I was ready to make room for a 02 or a 03 SE.

Dam economy keeping me down. Found out at my job that our project is being cancelled. We have enough work till the end of the year. After that who knows may have another project, may be waiting in the unemployment line. Our group has reduced from 140 to 35 this year alone.

This is not a good time for me to buy a new car. I will keep looking, searching, reading, and asking around about the Maximas. They are a awesome car. It just may take me a few more months before I feel safe about buying one.

I have made some new friends on this fourm. Thanks Shaydz and SkyDaver for your help.

For now down but not out.

Wise choice. This economy is incredible. NASDAQ is at 1200 and seems to be heading to 1000, and it was crazy at 4000 just a few years recently. What's even worse, it's the best time to buy a car becuase all the carmakers are offering 3.9% or 0% financing to make their cars move. 02 Maxima SE at 3.9% is dammmmmnnned tempting.

Good luck.

That is the part that is killing me. I could get a great deal on a 02 now if i was not worried about my job.

 

NASDAQ was over 5000 a few years ago right? Of couse it was all because of fake internet companies, but still, wow.

 

I feel what you're saying, man. I was job-hopping like crazy in 97-99. I was gonna do it again in 2000, but the commute was too far, would have been 46 miles each way. Guess what, that company got de-listed from NASDAQ. When I moved from one house to another I had the settlements planned bada bing. BOOM, the buyers couldn't get the mortgage so I got stuck with 2. It's not a good feeling, quite eery. I respect the fact that you put 5 months into researching the car--that beats changing it every 18 months because you can't decide what you want.

Hang in there and good luck. Part of me says market conditions can't get worse, but then you look how low mortgage rates are right now and how high house prices are. They say real estate might be a bubble just like the dot.bombs. YIKES.

 

they were real, they just went out of business.

 

Please, give me a hundred million dollars that I can burn through over the course of two years on some bat **** stupid idea and I can play businessman.

 

A hundred million? Steve Case of AOL lost $1 billion and the CEO of Time Warner lost his job and over $500 million--not too good considering he's an old dude who is near retirement and put 27 years into the company that fired him. That's personal, not corporate money. It's really not a joke.

Granted some of us have ok salaries as a result of the late 90's because unless we're let go, we haven't gotten pay cuts. Just don't get very large increases anymore and bonuses are either slashed or gone. But I'll tell you this earnestly, money is not everything. As long as I can work and have a nice woman in my life, and part of the year they stop taking Social Security out of my check, I'm happy.

 

You sound like you want to justify those ridiculously huge salaries
and bonuses. Sheesh, they make NBA players Like Mike look poor.

I guess the Time warner CEO has to sell his lear jet, or maybe auction it off on EBay, and return his leased Bentley
