Thinking about my Gpas I35

Thinking about saleing my 2008 maxima SL and getting my grandpas 2003 i35 with 18,000 on the engine. I wanted to know if this i35 had heated rear seats

If it has heated seats then all four seats are heated (though the rear seat heaters aren't great).

Yeah, it's the cold weather package. It also comes with a heated steering wheel.

My base model came with heated seats and door mirrors. No heated steering wheel.

I'd say 08 maxima, but the best way to find out is to drive these cars and compare
Let us know which drives smoother by the way

You state 18k on the engine in your first post. Has the engine been replaced? If so, how many miles on the chassis? If not, it's a good find, but may need some TLC due to it's age and just not being driven.

No, It's the original engine. How do I give it some tender love and care? What am I suppose to do to it. What could be wrong from it sitting so long in a garage?

Haha lots could be wrong. Good link tigershark dude, my step-cousin left a brand new Ford Expedition sitting while he was stationed overseas. Came back to a car that needed new piston rings among other things setting him back a couple grand .

My '02 I35 has the cold weather package but an easy way to find out is just look for the heated seat switches. Not sure if they change the position after 2002 but on mine they're on above the window buttons on the rear armrest.

Its "selling" not "saleing" . Id sell the 6th if I were you. All the $ going into paying the 6th could be used to mod the I ride. JMHO

Maybe if it was 2008 Infiniti I'd get more girls eyeing me down but not a 03. I decided to keep my maxima. It's a nice car so might as well keep it and it's new. My next car will be a infiniti or a BMW . Will see when the time comes. My Gpa sold the cAr I think to someone fast down in Flordia but it's not the end of the world. All pay my max off then all see what I can afford down the road . Thank you for all your guy"s opinions they ment alot to me. You guys with your i35s/i30s keep your cars looking fresh and represent

I think you made a smart choice keeping the Max, if for no other reason than the age difference.
They're both great cars and I'm sure you'll be very happy!

I don't know bro, I still get compliments on my car from girls

Speaking of your choice, I don't know man, if you had opportunity to have free i35 over maxima that you had to pay for (loan or something), i35 was definately better choice, but if you prefer maxima, your choice

By the way, did you compare how i35 drives over your maxima?

Yes I did . The i35 gives you a pure luxury feeling and drives as smooth as a Mercedes almost. I must say the 08 maxima drives a more smoother tho. I liked the way the i35 turned corners better bc when I turn in my 6.5 gen max it feels like I'm steering a Buick on steroids . There both equally great cars. If the I35 was a 08 I would of taken it. You guys enjoy your i35s/I30s there awesome cars no doubt
