Hey guys, I just got a 2002 6spd last night. I got it from a private owner. It has just under 10,000 miles on it. The only option it has is a sunroof. Leather wasn't really necessary because one it's cold in the winter, hot in the summer and you slide around in turns. Cloth keeps you planted. And I didn't need the Bose. The stock system is good enough for the music I listen to. Anyways, I will be transferring my mods from my 2000 GLE, expect for the intake because it doesn't fit the 2k2. Not sure if the Courtesy FSTB will fit, does anyone know? My 2000 GLE will be up for sale pretty soon once I return it back to stock and the intake and painted tail lights will be for sale soon too. Here are some crappy pics I took last night. I wan't trying to make the best pics, just wanted to do it quick so I could go drive.

 

congrats

 

Congrats!!! Great choice on the cloth seats too.

 

Congrats Greg, can't wait to see it sometime.

 

damn it now your faster than me u little punk haahahah nice car

 

 

Nice car bro, enjoy it! Nice choice with the 6 speed, try to avoid tickets though!

 

stop justifying buying an optionless car. it's ok!!!!!!!!!

 

Beautiful, sounds like you probably got a good deal too. Too bad it looks like you can't really get on the car and see how wonderful that 3.5 really is.

 

Congratulations....

how much did you pay for it? If you don't mind me askin...

 

Hey, it's got a sunroof!!

Got it for $19,600

 

Congrats...nice choice!! (I've got the same) Stock tires? How do you rate the snow traction? Most say it stinks. I don't know how it is cuz we don't have any snow on the ground yet here in Central Wis. By now we usually have as much as I see in your pics.

 

anywhoo.. congrats on the purchase.. nice to see anotehr convert..

oh and FYI: if you have preforated leather seats it doesn't suffer from any of the things you described.. no cold winter or hot in the summer problems

 

Well I haven't really tested the tires out yet. I was being careful not to spin the tires in first gear and they didn't slip. So we'll see when I become more acustomed to the car.

 

Nice! Congrats!!!

 

Congrats. I just bought a used 2k2 6 speed Friday. I have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to be shipped to me, so i'm jealous. I agree with you, no leather, I like to have some grip in the seat. Enjoy it.

 

Thanks. Post again when you take it out more. (I'm glad to hear it seemed ok when you drove it gently) I was hoping to get through this winter without having to get winter tires.

 

very nice car!!! - congrats on the purchase

 

congrats Greg!!!

 

Congrats on the fine purchase Greg, I know you're going to be very happy with this car.
I know I already told you this but I want to point it out to everyone else. Be extra careful with these cars people. The 2002 and 2003 Maximas are dangerous cars and demand to be driven by mature and experienced drivers. These cars have more power than sense and can quickly get you into trouble if the road conditions are less than perfect.

Enjoy your cars people, and be safe.

 

Nice car! Congrats Greg!

BTW, those are some OLD Jersey plates on that car! I'm assuming they aren't yours though.

Later,
-Nick

 

Yea those are from way back in the day. We just put them on to drive the car home. Sshh, don't tell anyone

 

no leather


not bad greg, why not paint these tails body color like your 00

 

I don't know. I might do that down the road, spring time maybe. Still deciding on if the clear ones should stay.

 

 

Very nice

I'm thinking about using Nissans bad resale value to my advantage and get one of these babies in the near future..

i figure same time next year, a 2k2 can be had for 13k.

nice purchase

 

wow, 19 g's for a 2k2 max wit less than 10,000 miles...sounds like a great price....

i see u in new jersey too, that's some heavy snow, yaw don't shovel around there?

i'm in north jersey by the way (maplewood)

 

oo do i now hear Greg's2k2SE?

 

awsome! congrats.

What kind of digi-cam are you using?

 

what were you thinking?? why on why would you do that... Jk love the color and all you really need in the sunroof

 

Congrats greg...nice find!

hehe...having driven my 99SE (fully loaded) for close to a year now, and having a fully loaded accord before that, I've made the determination that leather, sunroof, bose, and all of that crap doesn't really matter to me anymore. I only need two things in a car nowadays.

1) Kick butt engine - CHECK
2) Manual transmission - CHECK

My next car, whatever it may be, will most likely *NOT* be fully loaded unless it already comes like that.

 

 

so do you get hand me downs?

 

Congrats on the purchase Greg!

I'll be sure to scope out the new ride next time we meet up!

 

meccanoble: Well my house is right near Princeton, we got around 6 inches I believe. They didn't plow our streets until 8:00pm of the day of the storm. But I go to school at Rutgers, which isn't far from home anyways.


ATt: It's a Fuji FinePix 480 I believe. I don't have the camera here so I forget the exact model number. But it takes pretty good pics.

Maximan190: Nah I probably won't change my name, at least until signatures come back.

 

Congrats!

 

congrats! on my next purchase i plan on keeping it in the family too.

 

Those stock tires are pretty bad in snow. No grip at all.

 

100% sure I will be getting a VI now

 

there is no way you can make him have the fastest maxima in the house now well technically you don't live there.. but you know what i mean
