Need feedback, Looking at cars.

Hi all,
Im looking at cars currently and am considering a couple different models. Maxima, Q45, I35, Avalon.
I obviously know this is the max forum, I own an I 30 and have loved it' but the exterior is tattered and I'm starting to look around. My max budget is $5k.
Need a car that will accomodate a 6'6'' 300 lb guy, look decent for business meetings with potential clients, and is decent on fuel as I will travel a few days a week
I'm in Tx, to give info regarding my market, I have each of these cars in that price range just trying to weigh out the options.
Thanks again for all who give their input.

To come in under $5K, you're looking at a 5th Gen Maxima, or a 2nd Gen Avalon. Between the 2, the Avalon would be more upscale and comfortable considering your size.

However, IMO, if you can get a Q45 under $5K, that gets my vote.

I have found two 97' Q45's a 99, and MANY maximas. In my area Avalon's are readily available as well

I would do the Q45 and add a turbo kit and let that V8 roar down the street...

IMO you will get more for your money with the Maxima and it will be more economical.(ie. fuel, insurance, and maintenance.)

I30/I35, sometimes cheaper then maximas, and more refined.
