Im 16 and im getting a maxima and i wanted to know what the best year of the maxima se i should get?????!!!!!!!????????

 

92 Se

............................

 

why a 92 maxima se???
??

 

I like the 97-99's

 

what about a 95 i heard those are really quick!!!

 

I think its best to work on the fundamentals of driving first. 92 SE is just as fast as 95 maxima, but its cheaper (just incase you get in an accident) and it has LSD which will help you on your driving and learning. 92 SE also has Idependent Rear Suspension which will be better for you on ruff roads.

the 95 has 190 hp
the 92 has 190 hp

so you are no losing anything in performance. That and the 92 pulls all the way to redline unlike the 95.

However if you like the looks of the 95 better then go for it over the 92.

 

a 95 auto was my first car. I loved it. It had power, but nothing to bust a load over. I agree, the 92 would be a great first car, but I definately don't think it looks as good. The IRS is a big bonus too!

 

mmmmk kool thanx alot for the help....so whats all done to ur maxie

 

his? or mine?

 

Probably yours, since mine is probably melted down to make scrap metal for an 06 maxima by now . Yeah, it was totalled. I had it lowered, intake, exhaust, lights all around, and a system. Not too much.

 

id say95-96 all the other ones are ugly lol j/k but 97-99 is the one you should look for first

 

go for a 97 5 speed. lots of potential, look real nice too

 

2002-2003 SE 6spd w/ HLSD.

 

Doesn't it ultimately come down to your budget? If you only have $1500 to spend, I'm not going to suggest you buy something that will cost you $5000.

 

If you're buying this on your own on what I assume is a small budget & want less headaches, come join us 3rd Gen VG owners (1989-1994 GXE, 1989-1991 SE models)

- Great engine & no major mechanical issues
- Decent "pep" when you push down on the pedal but not enough to get you killed or make you feel slow (love that V6 )
- They go for pretty cheap now (depending on your area could be anywhere from $500 - $2000 TOPS)

 

damn thanx ever1 for the help

 

Agree 100%!!! perfect first car, easy to learn on, decently powered and torquey V6 for its model year, virtually INDESTRUCTABLE motor, you'll die before it does

 

The GXE is a great first car. My 93 is on its original engine and transmission with 123,XXX miles and still running great! Never had to do any mechanical work except for routine matainence. If you want reliability with decent power, I'd go with the VG.

yeah, those things run forever if you treat them right. my 90 SE has 131,??? miles on it and it runs great. how much are you going to spend on the car?

 

1988 fo sho

 

I'm still driving (well my son mostly drives it now) my 1991 SE 5-sp that I bought new. The engines on these cars are quite bullit proof.

Remember ... you've got to learn to drive...out there in traffic... and develop what is known as situational awareness.....that takes several years.

2005 loaded SE 6-speed.

 

if you have the money go for a 95-96 SE 5spd or 2k2 6spd...

ding ding ding

 

Other than random suggestions, how have we helped? If you gave us a bit more detail in regards to your situation, maybe you would get even more ideas.

 

I have the money to get any year maxima I want ! ! ! ! sorry havent wrote back i was gone anyways i dont like how the older maximas look but i dont know

 

So buy a brand new one then.

 

Hmm..rich kid.. Boy you better be thankful your mommy and daddy will do that for you. Insurance will be insanely high for you, especially after your first wreck in your new '04 or whatever car you decide on. And maybe you shouldn't brag about how you have the money for "any car you want." Just some advice.

 

i think the new maximas are to round

 

im not bragging ive just been saving money up for years doing lil jobs here and there and now im working at discount tire so im working for my money so excuse you!!

 

Kid, you're giving us a headache here.

 

since you have the money for whatever Maxima you want - refer to my post: 2003 6spd w/ HLSD. . . . the funny thing is, from the start, he asked 'whats the best year of the Maxima SE should I get', not best year 4th gen, or 3rd gen , I figured he could get any Maxima of any price.

 

lol me sorry so i guess im going to get a 1995-1999 maxima!!!!! so what ever i find with in those years at a dealer ship then i guess im going to get but i kinda want the fastest maxima in those years. i already know that maximas within those years have the body style that i like, so idk

 

even if you have the money to buy whatever you want.. buy wisely and save some of that money..

**** what am i telling you that for.. when i was 16 i would have bought a BMW if thats all the money i had left in my account to afford

Whichever one you get.. enjoy it and be safe

 

Im 17 and thinkin about getting a 2000 Maxima SE. The car is about $12,000 and has 50,000miles, free mantenince for a year, and free tires for life! Do u think this is a good deal, and are insurance and mantenince bad on Maximas?

 

Hey baller, you've already saved up $30k @ age 16 to buy any Maxima you want?

 

**** that...let him blow his money.

 

free tire for life? If this is true, I'm gonna make sure I burn out every year so I get a fresh set

 

How many jobs have you had if you're 16 now and working at Discount Tire? I didnt know they'll hire a 16 yr. old


Get what YOU want, not what WE want.......go to a dealer and DRIVE them, see what options some have and what others dont. We're not gona do the research for you...it being YOUR car. Damn people are so lazy....

 

i would get 94 se with 190 hp, thats the last year of those, preferreable with less miles (less than 90-100K lets say). but if you can spend more, then get 97, i just cant stand the taillights of 95-96...
