my cousin has Climate Control in his 97 SE and he says it doesn't work correctly.. i don't know.. mabye you haven't been in a car with WORKING climate control.. my cousin's GS 400 works better than my cousins 97 SE.. the climate control doesn't know when to kick down the cold or kick up the heat.. its confused to say the least..

like bill said.. you been here how long? ask medicsonic.. he has pics of his 95 GLE for you

maybe in the 5th Gens.. all prior models SE = Foglights...

who cares.. so you bling bling inside.. its a cheap mod from the Inifiniti dealer like 1MAX2NV and Bill have done..

i live in a condo

exactly.. you over paid for your heavy pig and thats the bottom line .. actually for a little bit more money you could have had an I30 (True Luxury)

 

I prefer the SE for its suspension, wheels, exterior, interior, fog lamps...and oh yea, those white face guages!

 

most SE owners on here have aftermarket suspension.. so you wasted your money on that one..

most SE owners bought 17's or 18's .. so you wasted your money again

apart from chrome gril and chrome door handles.. which look better with silver rims.. i don't know what exterior you are talking about.. so you wasted your money again..

Leather is an option on both SE and GXE's.. they come with cloth seats.. so the int is the same.. so you wasted your money again..

fog light kit is cheap.. so you wasted your money again..

lots of SE owners bought indiglo gauges... so you wasted your money again...

 

sits back to let Sprint take over the flaming


Y2KevSE has gone for popcorn

 

You're sensitive about your GXE aren't you...

I didn't waste my money because I don't plan on spending extra money on those items now, and they came on my car standard.

If you knew what I paid for my Maxima you would be surprised anyway.

Keep this a GXE vs. SE war. Have you ever noticed that there has never been a GLE vs. the others war? WE KNOW we paid too much.

 

No. I own a GLE.

 

go buy a GXE badge and put it on

 

Actually, I have never had a problem with it. But it is nice to have, and definitely looks better.



You are right. Nissan beige leather sux donkey nads.




This is another GXE/Se war, keep the fat pigs out of it.




Its a preference, I like the chrome, others like the body color.



yup you are right.. [/B][/QUOTE]

 

Uh, there is no such thing as a GXE badge, but I get where you are getting at.

 

get it from an Altima

 

get it from a sentra

 

ya mr. know it all....get one! they exist!

 

woah, just because some SE owners opted to swap out items doesn't mean that VeeTec wasted his money - those SE owners you are referring to wasted money. if you plan on modding those items, yeah a GXE makes sense, if you don't, an SE makes sense.

geeze, if you wanna talk money, you have to compare the initial price each of you paid, the costs of the mods, the cost of the installation or the value of the time you took to install the items.

 

good man i know you would see things my way...

i paid 10k for my 97 5spd GXE.. all the modifications were done by myself with the exception of leather seats.. which AndyXXL did on his GXE so its not impossible.. and my Short Throw shifter.. which the dealership did for hardly any thing.. ask Nickstam.. they don't do shifter installs and i hooked im up...

anything further?

 

You put the Sentra emblem on the Maxima and I will put the GXE on my car. I actually liked the way Nissan didn't badge the older models.

 

so you acknowledge that VeeTec didn't waste his money?

sounds like you got a great car for you, but realize not everyone wants a car like yours or has your resources. it makes perfect sense for you to buy a GXE, it makes perfect sense for VeeTec to buy an SE.

comparing your life to anyone elses is apples to oranges, you just have to trust people made the best decision for themselves, not try and control their decision - i'm mean heck, we all have maximas, we all must have good judgement.

 

you are right.. and this is a violation of my AMOC rules.. but .. i appologize ..

 

but if he starts modding i win

 

I own a GXE, raced a GLE, and beat it by 2 car lengths, and I was stock! That's sad!

 

I call BS.

 

Don't EVER do that again.

 

I hear a call for BS, and seconds?

 

SprintMax,

I will help you end this one.

I bought my GXE used thinking that it was a GLE.
When I bought it, it had factory fogs, factory wood trim, spoiler, custom seats, sunroof, GLE wheels, and a GLE badge.

When went to Courtesy Nissan to get some parts they laughed at me and told me that I had a GXE. But, told me that person who sold this car was smart. They bought a GXE with a sunroof and got everything else added on by the dealer which still ended up being less than an SE or GLE at the time.

Since then I have added the indiglo gauges, upgraded the suspension, got a SE grill and removed that ugly GLE badge.
And I still haven't paid the price of a GLE.

My max GXE was cheaper, is lighter and looks better.

 

and your max and seats look damn good too

 

 

Can you share what or why you say the GLE is fat or slow or heavy, in so that it is different than the other trims in those aspects?

 

Generally people think GXE is good to get if you plan on doing alot of major mods. But if you don't or don't for a while, the SE already looks good stock.

 

This is kind of confusing. Under the hood all three "trims" are exactly the same, yes?

 

Generally the SE + GLE have white face gauges, upgraded sound, leather trim (shifter, steering wheel) leather seats, alloy wheels, fogs, ect.
