My mom got a 97 SE auto. It has 80k miles, moonroof, Bose, Leather,.etc... We paid $9,700 for it. It's in mint condition.

That's 3 Maximas under one roof. Mine, my brother's 98 SE, and the mom's 97 SE. Oh yeah, and my dad has a Quest.

Nissan should give us some incentives.

 

1 max, 1 240, 1 quest...

 

That sux for pops

 

Not really, he should be packin some power too.

 

Quests are not slow, suprisingly!

 

Moms: '99 Black/Black Max SE
Pops: '02 Black Sentra (bottom of the line)
Mine: '97 Black/Black Max SE
LilSis: '99 Beige Altima GXE
Brother: uh...99 Integra!

Pops got the short end of the deal because he paid for everybody else's car!

 

Me: '99 Maxima SE
Mom: '97 Maxima GXE
Brother: '95 200sx
Girlfriend: '97 Altima GXE
Family Beater: '91 Stanza XE

and if you include the neighbors 3 altimas...that's 8 Nissans between 2 driveways.

 

i had a quest- the first gen ones.. two of them leased actually.
that was the old maxima engine i believe? which one? ve? vg?
either way, i dusted civics in that thing

 

oh man..hes gotta be kicking himself now..

 

I thought I had my parents convinced. I was the first in the family to break the all-honda trend (at one point we had three accords out of 5 cars) with the Max. Then my parents got two new cars to replace their accord and jag...

...and got a new Intrigue, and a new 2WD as-base-as-you-can-get F150?



That after they were looking at Altimas and Frontiers and whatnot. Sheesh

 

mom 97 f-150
dad 97 f-150
sister- 02 jeep wrangler
me- 02 max

lol i'm the only one

 

Mom= 98 Pathfinder
Dad= 90 Pick up
Bro= 95 240Sx SE
Me= 2k1 Max

me:2k1 max
dad:2k2 pathfinder

Sometimes it's good to diversify, all the same isn't necessarily the best. Say you got married, you have a max, your wife has a max, and you have a 3rd max just in case. Be nicer to have a S2000, 2k2 Camry, and A4 wagon.

 

I have a Nissan family to.

I drive/drove a Altima, my girl drives a 2K2 Altima, and my mom drives a Max. She is gonna get the G35. So she is keeping it in the family.

 

Mom: E430 (tried to get her to buy Q45 but she wouldn't bite)
Brother: 4runner (possibly a 350z in the future)
Me: 2 Maximas! (2k sold, 2k2 now)
Family beater: Nissan Quest

Funny story, I looked over at a stoplight when I heard some revving, I was driving the quest because my max was in the shop. So I look over, and there's a corolla revving on a new 2.5 altima! The light turns green, and I figure "this should be interesting," so I floor it so that I can watch. Well, both the altima and the corolla are furiously glaring at each other, white-knuckling the steering wheel, shifting with all their might, and putting the gas to the floor. I was just flooring it and wanting to spectate but to my surprise I started to inch towards them. As the race, which by this time had made it to the blistering speed of 40mph, I evened out with first the corolla, then the altima. The guy in the corolla heard the raspy grunt of my neglected VG and looked over. I think his eyes just about popped out of his head as he realized he was getting slowly passed by a minivan and his foot was to the floor!

At 70mph, i tapped the brakes to slow down for my turn coming up and the two fast and furious cars flew by me sending a flurry of pebbles and street litter in their wake.

 

Me=96 Max SE
Mom=2K2 GS300
Sister=89 Volvo 240DL(AKA. Veronica, or POS)
Father=Ford Pickup

It's great being the second kid; parents almost always seem to do things better the second time around.

 

me: 02 Maxima SE
brother: 00 Altima GXE
mom: 96 Quest GXE
dad: 00 Sentra GXE

maximas have been running in the family for a while. my dad got 340,000 out of that 1st gen. it took a beating. finally the manual transmission gave out, but the engine was still running like a champ.

 

Mom-98 BMW z3
Dad-95 Toyota t-100
Me-00 Maxima SE

Pops had a 1994 nissan 4x4-kingcab, that was when they looked good!!!

 

heeeehehe...my dad has a 91SE, I have a 98SE, and Mom has a 96SE. We have an SE family!!

 

Mom's old car: 85 Toyota Camry LE

Sister- 92 Buick LeSabre Limited (family beater)
Me- My hot 2001 Max SE

 

Why would you try to talk your mom out of an E430? Unless that's her first Benz, I can't see how a Benz driver would all of a sudden decide to look at Nissan.

This thread reminds me of an article in the NY TImes, not that anyone here would read it. There are 700,000 more cars in NJ than there are registered drivers. That's all about the Benjamins.

Me and my friend want to figure out a way to get a piece of the money that's changing hands every weekend at the shore. Why should we pay 22,000 a summer just to stay at the shore(divided by 6 though)? Then we ran real estate numbers and you can't get a decent place for less than 600,000, so here we go again. Takes money to make money. Doesn't take much to drive a nice car!

 

me = 95 Maxima GLE
bro = 2k2 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (spoiled Brat..he's only 16)
Mother= had a 87 maxima.. it was the ****.. sold it and got a 97 camry in 97.. has been beatin on it it ever since.. its in the shop once a month cuz she sucks at driving...
Dad= doesnt like cars had a 99 Toyota Landcruiser-- bought in June of 99 w/ 10 miles on it.. now as of today have 4325K miles on it... lets just say it barely moves..
My dads OTHER car is the Chevy Explorer CONVERSION VAN --AKA PIMP VAN that van is pimp inside.. leather/valence lights/tv/vcr its hot

 

Since August '92, I have bought (all new): '92 Sentra SE, '94 Altima GXE, '96 Altima SE, '96 Maxima GXE, '00 Altima SE, '00 Maxima GXE, and '02 Maxima SE. And now I'm on the list for an Infiniti G35 Coupe.

I've often felt like Nissan owes me a little extra consideration or incentive. At least the dealers listen when I tell them all that.

 

me 95 max se, 95 max gxe(crashed, might fix it)

dad 1984 stanza(yes, his daily driver)
mom 1994 honda accord
brother 1992 camry

 

Talking about some incentives?

My family had:
88 Max light blue
92 Max SE silver auto
93 Max SE dark blue auto
98 Max GLE white auto

Currently:
2002 Max GLE silver w/ black leather auto, (mom's)
1999 Max SE black/black leather 5 spd, (mine)
2000 Explorer white (dad's) ---> lease is almost over, thinking about Infinity Q45

 

Mom-had a fully loaded 93 GXE, but my cousin crashed it, so we traded it in for a 2000 Accord SE
Dad-95 Avalon with only 43,000 miles on it!! thats pretty good!
Sister-95 Corolla
Other Sister-99 Maxima SE-Limited w/ 23,000 miles on it...ill be getting it soon, hopefully hehehehehe

So, 1 Honda, 2 Toyotas, and 1 Nissan

 

me 96 se 5 spd
brother 96 se 5 spd
both white
mom 95 gxe auto
dad 97 accord se auto
dad 96 frontier

dad's old--'93 Quest
mine--'97 Max GLE
mom--'96 Infiniti I30
sis--'01 Pathfinder LE
dad's new--'02 Pathfinder LE


NISSAN!

 

2 Maxima's: my '92 SE 5spd and my moms 2k1 SE auto,
2 Altima's: my Sister's '97 Limited Ed. and my Dad's '94 GXE(both auto)........there's a nissan family

 

Because! Let me tell you why.

The E430 is an overpriced german tank rebadged and disguised as a car. The damned thing costs over 10,000 more than a Q45 and you have to pay for every single option. The leather inside feels cheap and sterile, the car is the size of a panzer tank. It doesn't come with HID's standard. It doesn't rip pavement like the Q45 or look as nice. It doesn't have nissan/infiniti's reputation for reliability. It DOES have a reputation for crazy electrical gremlins post warrantee.

Yes, but it's a MERCEDES. And that's all you're really paying for =P
1000 a month lease for a car that you had to pay 1400 dollars for a sunroof/rear window shade option. Rediculous when you think about it.

 

Have to pay for every option, what a concept

 

My moms 2K1 Nissan Quest. My brothers 2K2 Nissan Frontier. My other brothers 2K2 Nissan Altima. And My 97' Nissan MAXIMA. Damn I need to upgrade to a 2K2! My dad is the only rebel with an Acura.

 

Mine: 2002 Black Infiniti I35 Sport
Dad's: 2002 Navy Infiniti I35 Sport
Mom's: 2000 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4WD
Soon to be sister's: '97 Chevrolet Lumina LS (My Old Car)

Hehe...my dad's already talking about getting a new Q45 and giving my sis his I35.

John

 

Mine: 97 Infiniti I30
Dads: 00 Mercedes E320
Dads other car: 57 Mga Conv. Fully restored, 4 speed manuel
Moms: 95 Lexus ES300
Brothers: 1996 Volvo 960

 

ME: 98 Max GLE
MOM: 88 Chevrolet Celebrity auto
DAD: 91 Mazda truck 5 spd (thing hauls for only 89 HP )
DAD's other vehicle: 95 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 auto

At school, we got a section of parking spaces which are right by the parking lot exit and the entrance to the school, meaning, the best parking spaces at school. There's only 4 spaces and every day it filled by Nissan cars in the exact same order

1- ME 98 Max GLE
2- 98 Green Pathfinder XE
3- 2000 Gold Pathfinder LE
4- 1993 Beige SX 240

Nissan owns! Well, these parking spaces for now

 

Duh? I meant silly stuff like, your interior color, auto window up-down, rear sunshade. HID's don't come standard on this luxury car. FFS HID's and auto windows were standard on my max. Each of these options is $1500 or more. Rediculous if you ask me. You have to think a great deal of your "image" to sacrifice so much to have a tri-star emblem on your hood.

 

Two Maximas, one Altima, and two stupid domestics...
