I love my Nissan too, but I can't sick with one car forever IF I have the money to get something different. I will always prob stay import now though. MY next cars I have planned when I get the money are a BMW 330i, G35C, or WRX. They are all under 17K cars used so If I get the money sometime I can get those prob in 2-3 years. Other then that my Maxi is good for me now and I don't want anything else in its price range for what it is worth, because you prob won't get too much better or quicker. Unless it is a busted piece of **** you have to fix up.

 

never want to get rid of the max, if i ever did get rid it would always be for another max and honestly dont think i could ever drift away from a 4th gen. theres just something about them

 

as soon as it brakes i buy new brand lol

 

Good question, still deciding! I know Nissan's are dependable vehicles, but I would like to know what else is out there.

 

maxima has my vote right now, if i dont drive a maxima exactly, it will be some nissan or infiniti product..

 

ehhh for a little while, certainly not forever

 

I purchased my 99se 5spd in 2004 with 87,000 miles on it.
It has been the most trouble free car I have ever owned.
Nissan has a customer for life.

 

got my 99 maxima SE 5spd in 2004 still going hard got 190k on the body got an 01 AE motor with 40k and 01 AE lsd tranny and S/C'ed and all gonna be 5yrs i own this maxima and i love my car to death will never get rid of it

 

hell ye im keepin it atleast for 5 years :O

 

Don't know if I will have it forever but it's incredibly hard to find anything that compares for the price.

 

Until it dies, which could be a while longer

 

i will probably never going to look for another maxima.

 

If this one outlives me, then yes,
-302X

 

When I get my 4th gen I plan on keeping it until it dies. The problem is, the later Maximas don't appeal to me very much. I might jump ship and look at an IS350 or whatever Lexus has out at that time.

 

my first car was my 4th gen. ill always have that car so yes ill always have a Maxima. i just purchased a 5.5 gen i love my maxima's ill have other cars but my heart will be with Nissan. they have built a reliable vehicle.

 

I'll probably have mine for 5 years or so, then move on.

 

just bought it 2 weeks ago...only plan to have mine 2 years or so, maybe less depending on the economy...had a bunch go through our family so i know they are good cars, but wanted something else honestly

 

I love nissan because they continue to come out with great cars and their engines/trannies and styling of their cars are great!

As long as they continue in this direction I will continue to buy nissan!!!

 

the 09 is on the list

 

While I was attempting to have sex with my maxima again, I relized something... this is more then just a fling im actually in love with my car and I dont ever plan on getting rid of it.

 

Until someone wrecks into me it will be around forever.

 

I've owned 18 cars/trucks/suv's in my time and the last 14 have been a Nissan in one form or another. It's safe to say I may not always have this Maxima, but as long as Nissan remains it's own entity, I'll be buying Nissan.

Here's a run-down of previously owned vehicles:

'77 Honda Civic -- my first car, $500 cash
'80 Cutlass -- 2 of them actually, a 4 door, and a supreme, why did I buy domestic?
'79 Toyota P/U -- SR5 package, great memories attached with this one
Nissan 720 -- 3 of these, an '84 SC, and 2 '86 KC's, one with the "ST" package
Nissan H/B -- 4 of these also, '86.5 base, '86.5 SE V6, '95 with rusted frame and
228k miles, and currently own a '93 SE V6 with 6" of lift and 33's
'95 Pathfinder -- Beige beauty with 3" sus lift and 31's, and some other mods
'03 Xterra -- Had to get rid of when both of us lost our jobs
'97 200SX -- Hated it, slow-*** auto POS
'97 Altima -- Currently driven by the wife, $1800 cash, best damned car I've owned
Maxima's -- 3 of these also, first was an '87 (my favorite Max), 2nd was an '02 SE,
was totalled in a 7 car pile up, and currently, '01 SE 5 spd bought 3
weeks ago

 

with the few mods I had it was just as fast as my g if not faster.

Stock to stock the g blows the max away...

 

Im guessing you havent owned an auto max for a while....

 

Probably WRX will be next

 

I like the looks of the year I have, 2000 but with refinements. HID, 3.5, etc.

 

I have had 5 Maximas. When my 6th gen was total last month I just wanted something else. So, as a true brand loyal person would, I stayed in the family and bought an Infiniti G35X.

 

I don't know. I've had 3 max's and loved all three. But to go to a 7th gen I'm just not seeing it. I'm think about getting another 5th Gen after this one is paid off or maybe the new 370Z.

 

My dad bought the maxima in 97 from a private used car dealer in ny with 11,000 miles
and still know i have it today with 128,000 and still going
<3 my maxima!

 

Mine has 152K on it and still going. But if/when it dies, I think I'm going to step up to a G35.

 

i told myself i'd drive my 03 maxima into the ground. or until it got totaled. which is what happened: girl in a rav4 crashed into me (head-on, she went over the double solids). now i drive an 08 subaru impreza wrx STi. turbocharged awd ftw.

 

This is my first nissan i have owned and have not been disappointed yet. It is one of the most comfortable cars i have driven and my friends agree as well. I really like the manual transmission holds up nicely and overall find it to be a great car. When i get rid of this car depending on the reason i will probably buy another.

 

I plan on keeping my 02 . I've gotten really good at performing basic maintenance on it. If I do get another Nissan it will probably be a new Max and give my 02 to my sister in law

 

I am not sure if i will always own a maxima but this is my second one. My very first car was a 1985 Maxima SE. I currently own a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE. I am hoping to buy a 2005 Nissan Maxima or a 2005 Lexus IS300

 

for sure, 10 years down 100 years to go ! Maxima FTW!!
