check the 5th Gen Forum and the sticky threads on top

 

will do

 

For what it's worth, I have a 2k1 5-speed w/ 27k miles. I've had absolutely no problems with it, other than the fact that I spend too much time watching this forum.....

How much are you willing to spend? You might be surprised how cheap you can get a 2002-2003. Big difference in car too.

 

I have 64K miles on my 2K1 5spd and the only problems I've had are warped rotors, which didn't warp until after the warranty was up, and SES light that came on which was covered under the emissions 80K warranty.

 

prolly looking to spend around 15-16K at the most..

 

i got 33000 on my 2k1 and havent had any problems so far...the stock brake pads suck ... so i got raybestos QS ... other than that everything is fine

 

Don't know where you live, but there's a 00 Max Se 5-speed, dark green with clear corners, at a Nissan dealer near me. If you want to know more, I'll check it out.

 

cool thanx for the info

 

thres a 2001 black maxima 5speed in maryland herb gordon and they also got tons of used 2k2 and 2k3 TE....theres also a fully loaded minus navi black on black SE TE at this local ford dealer aorund maryland and it can probably be shipped to you just pm and i can get you details on how to reach them and with 15k-17k you can definately get a 2k2 or 2k3 dont kno about the fully loaded one since it only has less then 3000miles on it just check online and call around and get price quotes used cars are easy to bargain for

 

i live in FL, but after reading about the "fuel cut" on the 00-01's im not interested in a 5-speed anymore.. lol.. but i appreciate the offer

 

what fuel cut

 

ive seen some 6speeds on adds for sale at good prices under 18k wtih less then 20k miles no leather, but everything else

 

id really like to pull off getting a 02 thats loaded in gun metal or black. but i gota have leather.. thats my only must have

 

from the posts ive read seams people are havin some problems with the 00-01 5-speeds.. someone posted a really descriptive post on it but i couldnt find it again

 

All the negative rumors about the 00-01 Max are all LIES & FALSE PROPAGANDA!!! I've had 0% problems w/my may and I know of no one that has had these nagging problems that you listed. As a matter of fact, if you are going to get into modding your car, the 95-01 Max's are more hop-up friendly than the newer ones. Get an 00-01.

Deac

 

did the quaife diffy help that much

 

that makes me feel beter! thanx for anoter point of view.. and i really like your car i have every intent on proformance mods.. and well as some 19's.. right now i gota TRD s/c'er and TRD catback on my truck and it will fly for a pickup
