YOUR DREAM MAXIMA...FOR SALE!!! 5th Gen
I am selling my award winning, 2001, Grey Lustre, 5spd Maxima. I regret having to do this because I have not really gotten to enjoy the car with the amount of work I've done to it. I live in NYC and I got the car in November 2000. I am the only owner and the car was kept garaged for 90% of the time I owned it. I got so into modding so fast, that I could'nt drive the car around the NYC streets or back and forth to work and feel safe leaving it anywhere. Working in Jamaica Queens and being a victim of random acts of vandalism forced me to get a hoopty and keep the Max at home. I only drove it on weekends or to tool around and show off now and then. The car only has just under 50,000 miles in 6 years. I have a 1987 Merkur xr4ti that is my daily driver.
With NY insurance rates among the most expensive in the country and the fact that I barely drove the car... its like I'm paying for nothing. I also am happily married with a 5 year old son and a BIG Mortgage. The money I could get for this car, I can use to get caught up on some bills and cut my expenses. You guys know how it is.... once you get started modding, its hard to stop and I need to focus more on my family and my home nowadays.
I want to give the Maxima.org community the first crack at buying the car since its this website that taught me everything I know about Maximas and the people I've met on here have been great. I honestly would rather try to sell the car whole and exhaust all other resources before I break down and part it out.... I dont have the time, inclination or the money to part it out. If I cant sell it here I'll try Ebay or some other car sites....
Anyway... Here are the Specs. I've done so much to it, I'll probably leave some stuff out but I did update my Cardomain site a couple of days ago with new pics n stuff!!! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/136367
Please go to the site to supplement what I written in this post. Here goes!!!
Exterior Mods:
- Stillen Touring Lip, Customized Stillen rear valence, Sarona Side Skirts, Sarona Fenders and rear winshield spoiler, 20% grey tint., VIS CF hood w/hood pins, Ionic Dynamics Trunk & wing (available not installed yet), Street scenes upper and lower front grille chromed...

Asking $9500 firm to start. Before you have a heart attack, do the math. The book value on a very good condition Maxima with my specs is about $7500. So if you start there and add all the stuff thats done to this car, its a GREAT deal. My loss your gain. At $9500 you're actually getting alot of $h!t for free. For those of you who want to start off with a Max that has everything.... One of the few Maximas that have a great blend of both SHOW & GO, you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal.
Please PM or E-mail me with questions or inquiries or post here. Respectful feedback and suggestions would also be appreciated. Tri-State area guys who want to come and look at the car, feel free to drop me a line. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/136367/1

Forget about the blue-book. My Max has almost every aftermarket part available for a Maxima installed on it. Mods and system alone are probably worth close to 30k. I'm asking for half that. MardiGras wants 20k for his and mine in comparable to what he wants. I've gotten offers from strangers at cars shows all the time... but I wanted to give Maxima.org the first crack. I dont want to part it out and I'll try everything else before I do that. But you cant blame me for that price or for trying to sell it whole. Its more money and hassle to part it out.... I'm trying to make money, not spend more.

Don If you can't get what you want for it on the Org, you'll definetly need to take it to a couple of car shows and you'll be getting hit left and right with offers like before. The car has very low milage and is well kept and with half the **** you have in mods I can see you getting reasonable offers. But One thing.Before you sell it you gotta give me a ride to see your new co2 setup

Whats wrong with trying to get some value out of my sale....Just trying to recoup as much as I can. Thanx for you feedback and opinions. I'm basing the price off what MardiGras was asking for his plus a little extra... Not to say my car is better than his but just to see what the reaction would be. I have to PM MaximaGirl and see how much she was asking for her 5th Gen. You cant blame me for trying. I'll keep that price out there for a while on here and a couple other sites and see what the reaction is.
1HOTMAX.... its been a while man. Thanx for the shout.

I know that this is probably the cleanest 5th gen in NY. He rarely comes out and the meet I missed a couple of years ago he was there and a lot of my friends say this car can't be toched hands down. But I know the car will be easier to get rid of parted out. It will take time but the money will come faster than waiting around for a buyer of the whole car. Additionally, a lot of people like to have a blank canvas to work with. No one really wants to buy a finished car because at the end of teh day, they want to look at that car and say they were the mastermind behind the scheme. I know, as well as the people I roll with, if I were to see this car in another person's possession, they would get no respect out of the gate. People will still say thats Deac's car. Even when you sell the car, its Deac's because he made it what it is from a blank canvas. Just my opnion.

D-Bo there are a few Maximas that are close to 400whp or even over that w/spray.
Once again I know it would be faster and easier to part it out but.... I want to give it a few weeks to see if I can sell it whole.

M Forrest: Thanx for the shout. I know what you are saying. Hopefully I'll get a few people who are willing to take the car on regardless.
I was at HIN Nightshift in Flushing Queens, NY this past April and I was pleasantly surprised to see how much love and respect I got for my car after all this time. I got people leaving me their TN# and e-mail addresses asking me to contact them when I'm ready to sell and alot of random non-maxima.org people who have my cardomain site bookmarked and say they've seen my car online or on cardomain. I had one guy tell me he visits my car everyday online and has my car as his desktop background!!! The response from the show is another eason I feel confident about selling the car and the asking price. Time will tell if I'm right. I had to try at least though...

Thank you for understanding. I dont mind people saying lower the price or mod it out or making constructive suggestions.... I'm cool w/that. I'm just take a crack at selling my car for what I think its worth.

forgot to mention in my initial post. Most of the stock parts I have, I'll throw in with the deal. IE:
Stock hood, fenders, struts & springs, wheels/tires, brakes, clutch, radio, greddy 2.5" catback etc.... Remember my car barely has 22k miles on it so all this stuff is relatively new. I have a box of stuff in the attic and I know I'm leaving stuff out but, whoever buys can take it all since I wont need it and dont want to be bothered selling them.

When we want your opinion, we'll give it to. $30k for a DSM, I don't think D is the one who is off his rocker; you are if you would buy an Evo for $28k. Looks, parts, performance can never compare to what a stock maxima has. Some new evos need clutches after 3k miles, transfer cases, tires, etc. But to each his own. But don't criticize others for their opinions, when you have clearly stated yours. If you would buy an Evo instead of D's car, that's your perogative, congratulations.
