New to Forum, New to Maxima
Hello all -
I just picked up a 2003 SE, 3.5 V6 and 6 speed manual. Only has 49,740 miles, all dealer maintained with service records and receipts.
It's silver with black leather and way better optioned than I thought it would be. It has seat warmers, steering wheel warmer, Heated mirrors, powered sunroof, Driver's seat memory recall, passenger electronic seat controls, homelink, auto dim mirror with the compass readout, Bose audio with 6 CD changer, auto heat & A/C.
The front and rear bumper covers, the side-impact door trim pieces and the wheels are pretty beat up with a lot of chips/ road rash / scratches. Looks like whomever owned the car before couldn't park worth a lick. Other than that, the paint, glass and trim are about 8.5 / 10 ( nothing a weekend with a rotary buffer and some compound won't take care of) , the interior is 9/10 , and mechanically about 9/10. No rust, no rattles, leaks or squeals. It's quiet, powerful and runs strong.
Got it for 6K ( Dealer wanted 8.5K ?!?!?!?! )
I come from the GM V8 world ; my "Fun" car is a heavily modded 2006 Pontiac GTO. I'm used to a forum community for parts / advice and help, but new to THIS forum. I'm also an avid DIYer for maintenance and modding. This Maxima is now my Daily driver / family sedan. From reviews and information I got here, it should last me quite a while !
Hope to be a contributor here and thank you all for the wealth of information already available !

Thank you all for the welcome !
I've added Pics to my Garage.
Also, since I'm new here, Can someone point me to the Off Topic / Where do I ask Site-specific questions ? IE: For some reason, my garage is showing my GTO as my primary vehicle instead of my Maxima. IS there a way to change the default vehicle, or do I have to delete the GTO to default to the Max, then re-enter the GTO ?
thanks !
