Russ got me into thinking about this last night after he said a price that sounded awesome.

what i was thinking
bare bones se 6spd
usual standard crap. a/c pw/pl/cruize/tilt

cloth interior
no roof {if possible at all}
no bose {bose sucks}

not sure if the 17's would fall into this catagory or not.


whats you're opinion on this. could it be had for less then 24k?
im thinking yes.

 

if you are good yeah.. some people got 25k .. so its dooable.. with the as$hole i know you are.. I KNOW ITS DOO ABLE

 

17's are standard now on the SE. So you get them no matter what.

My dealer had a 6spd cloth for 24k. It had sunroof though and bose. So I am sure you can find a more barbones model.

I refuse to go back to cloth, thats why I am still in my Max

 

i have almost a full diamond audio system sitting in my basement. so i don't need bose. its a waste for me anyways.

i have enough connections around town im sure i can have on located and i'll go pick it up myself.

just need to find the color i want now.


russ. im tired of leather. burns my *** in the summer. it sucks. thats why i put cloth in the gsx {still have the leathers}


also. is their anything out for it yet?
y-pipe?
intake?
exhaust?

all else fails, NITROUS!

 

bottles are for babies

 

blah.

 

Given i got mine (base SE auto, no sunroof/bose/leather/heater/etc..) for around $25k then yeah

 

yo Squishmiester.. someone had a great idea.. buy a GXE and do a tranny swap.. that baby will be nice and light..

 

hmmm. no tranny swap.

i can pull this one off.
i like the blue
=o)


sprint. say that when im in front of you!

if a 100 shot does wonders for a 3.0, just imagine what it does for a 3.5

 

how can u NOT get it loaded? no bose? cloth

 

ya you can get a bare bones one for 24k if you are good. where are you located. if you talk to bluefish from this board he will give you a good price. also there is nothing out yet but custom catbacks you can do and a stillen hi flow. thats it so far.

 

no one knows if the GSS342 fits the 2002 .. so um.. yeah.. stay 60 shot little boy

 

why not get a maxima thats almost 30k?
BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD THAT MUCH!


thats why. and i have grown tired of leather.
don't need a sun roof because i rarely use the one in my car now
bose? please. my computer speakers sound better
i didn't spend over 5k on stereo stuff to spend another 900 bucks to rip out a bose system.

i don't need navigation.
i don't need heated seats
or any other useless crap.


im a simple man, with a simple duty on this project.

this is my reasoning behind it.

if someone paid 23/24k for a max se with leather bose and stuff. i can do better then that for a simple car.

im gonna go talk numbers with a guy saturday.
i'll let you know what i come up with

 

don't make me school you.

 

did you say no roof? chop top?

 

you can't read
DORK!

say it with me
S U N R o o f

i knew you could say it.

 

 

nice part number sprite. i guess someone will have to find out if it fits. but think of it this way. the pump in this car must be a higher grade pump right. they go from 190 to 255. so if 4th gens have a 190 maybe these come with a 255 stock and you can run 125 shots on stock pumps just a thought. prolly wrong but flame away.

 

knowing nissan. i doubt it
they more then likely put slightly bigger injectors in there and upped the fuel pressure to compensate for the flow rate of the pump.

thats ok. i know a lot more now. so its going to get very scary
400+ ft lbs anyone?

 

try it stevie baby

 

considering how much easierr it would be to change the pump instead i hope nissan did this. we'll have to see. and sprint i want to run no gauges, just a 50shot so it won't be me to find this out.

 

if i get one. {which im trying sao damn hard to right now} i m sure i'll be a test mule {no jokes sprint} for a few things.

just like the old days of the Ve max i had.
just with more cubes.

 

ensure you blow the engine within the warranty time just make sure the Toyota dealership is not next door to the nissan dealership

 

well, lets put it this way
i test drove a 6spd a few weeks ago.
my powershifting skill came back.
the sales guy was ****ed.

needless to say i won't be buying that one

 

well that one will be headed to the rental agency

 

i want to go rent a stick civic and beat THE **** out of it. it will be fun.

 

how about i take you out back and beat the **** out of you?

 

A fully loaded Max with every option except Nav. can be had for $23k if you're willing to drive it back from Canada. A base model 6 speed SE invoices at $22700. You should be able to get it like $23000. Or wait for a used one for an even better deal.

The good news is that the rebates have begun, $500 in December. That could mean $1000 or more by summer. But if the 2003 becomes a good-looking car, the rebate is kinda moot. It's how you say, a marketing ploy, like free shipping and cdr-w on a Dell. Only the latter is $1200 with all the bells and whistles and less than a week's pay.

 

kinky i like it.

 

Im going to talk to a friend of mine who deals nissan's.
i should have a ballpark price this weekend. it shouldn't be too off of what some of you are saying.

 

i was told last night by a guy i know at the nissan dealer ship invoice on it was 23.5
the lowest he is allowed to go was 23.8
not bad IMHO

 

Bryan, if you are looking for the strippo delux SE with 6-speed, you should be able to do better. There are a few posts already with SE's going for around $20K.

Or wait a few months till the rebates start flying in.....

 

im looking for a base se 6spd
nothing on it, no bose. no roof. no leather. none of that crap.
i already have a system. and have never been a big fan of leather.
screw the roof, just something else that can squeek and annoy me

it will be around february anyways. so i'll check back in then and see if i can do better

 

no they aren't

 

eh just the word "base" scares me

 

Russ, im sorry but u have to have your numbers wrong. 24K ? for a SE with Bose and Roof? SE's base at 24-25K, bose is 1200 and sunroof is 850, thats 26500, through in mats, guards, at your about 27K sticker, I know... my SE has roof and Bose, mats, mudguards, and deflector stickered 28K, got mine 2% over invoice, 26K plus taxes and license. a very base 6 speed SE would sticker 25K.

 

Aren't what? Around $20K?

Give it a few months then. They are selling 2K1's with under 10K around here (LA) for $14K.
