any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

get a black one!

 

thats what i was thinkin, you cant beat a black car. its just ........sexy

 

ive seen that car before posted up here (black SE) some one else said they were going to buy it, the black one would be my choise so hurry up and buy it before some one else does.

 

ok, now the only problem is finding a bank to give me a loan.

 

I didn't know banks gave loans for cars over 10 years old.

 

Honestly? If you have to get a loan for a $3,000 car, I highly suggest not getting it. Why? Because any car that old will probably need $500-$700 of work in the next few years.

 

get a maroon one if u can pay cash for it

 

i got one for my 91 in 02 so they do...or was it 01 but i dunno i got it

 

the problem is that i am going off to college next summer and i wont be able to just save $3,000, but i can however pay a 100-150 car payment each month.

 

If you can only afford $100-$150 / month, what will happen when you get a $500 repair bill??

 

or 1300 for tranny/clutch/misc. parts like ME ****ing tranny

 

im going to school to become a mechanic so i can hopefully fix whats wrong without paying a mechanic.

 

Good luck with the car then. I hope everything works out.

 

that might be a little tougher. i would probably have to ask my dad for some help if something like that happened.

 

thank you.

 

Get the black one....Who cares how much it costs...If it's what you want then it is worth it.....my .02

 

thanx man. that how i feel but i just need a loan weither its a car loan or just an anything type loan.

 

I would definitely look at the Florida car, but ultimately buy the car that had been taken care of the best. I have three SE's with mileages ranging from 104k to 162k. The one that has 162k was a one owner car and the guy babied it. It is in the best shape of the three by far. Buy the best car, not just the one that looks the best or the color you like.

 

The white one in the middle isn't the real photo... I'm sure you're aware of this. If not, check out consumer guide.com. It's the stock photo. Sad that I recognized it.

 

Agreed...Igot my ve5sp with 170,000 on it. It was babied by it's original owner.I have had very little trouble out of since i've had it. It's got 272,000 on it now,still runs great.

 

Does it still pull hard? Have you noticed a decrease in power since you've had it?

 

The gray one looks good but I have a question about it. I've seen cars with airbags or automatic belts but never both. Why would this car have both?

 

I have both


The black one looks to be in nice condition. You can tell by the condition of the rims. It doesn't appear aged with scrapes or peeling around the center caps

 

I have both in a red car

 

All USDM Maximas have automatic belts. Airbag was an option in 92, but standard in 93 and 94.

I would take whichever one has the following:

1) no VTC clacking
2) the most service records
3) smoothest shifting tranny

The VTCs and tranny are the weak spots (and most expensive fixes) in these cars. The engines will go well over 200k if taken care of.

 

I haven't noticed any difference at all. But that is on the butt dyno though.

 

I agree.

 

grey is greyt!

this coming from a man who only owns grey cars (all 3 of them)

 

not to burst your bubble, but just since your going to college for being a tech doenst mean you can fix it right way... thats what im in college for right now, i know how to do the work , but you wont be able to get a stall till your second year (thats how it works here at Dunwoody) and even then you gotta pay shop fees

 

I don't have a stall, but I work on my own car.

If you own a jack, some jackstands and a reasonable supply of tools you can do most of the work you need to on these cars.

 

but i am goin to lincoln tech and that only a 15 month program and part of the classes you actually work on your own car.

 

Boy, you know I installed all the good stuff. hehe j/k


You get the cai tubing yet?

 

and you still don't learn squat!

 

yup mines black with auto belts and airbag. if you need a loan for a 3000 car you cant afford to fix it if it breaks....
