Looks like this car might have been crashed and someone took the cheap way out and replaced the grille, headlamps and bumper cover with a 00/01 instead of 03's. The car also has GXE wheels and you can tell from the cluster & rear spoiler it's a SE. The bumper cover may be GXE as those foglamps appear to be add on's.

03 Maxima on craigslist

 

dude who cares

 

ummm ok???

 

Uh...how about someone in the market. The only cool part about this is that it's kind of a sleeper.

 

looks nasty, ya they sure did Mess with the front their, that 2k3 doenst even have HIDs or the right fogs, or bumper, good luck if ur buying that thing.

 

If that is the case it would suck to be the buyer

 

people. it's a 2003 maxima for $11,700.

 

i wouldn't give them 11,700 for that....more like 8,000 because its a f*cking mess.......

 

Those are GLE wheels, GXE only have steels. You mess up here. I love the 5 spokes.

 

Car has been Chop Shopped like crazy does have low mileage tho....

 

Umm, people HAVE converted to 2k1 bumper and light after their lights have been stolen. As a matter of fact, this person who lives a couple of blocks from me recently converted to the 2001 bumper and lights.

 

Just request a VIN...this will reflect exactly what year it is. Then maybe, we can post our comments on any conversions.

 

sure, run carfax first.

 

you can tell by the steering wheel that it actually IS an 02/03.....

 

HID theft with the Maxima's doesn't seem to be much of a problem here in California. I guess the car could also be from somewhere where the HID's were jacked one too many times and owner just said F*** it and did the swap. In one of the pics you can see another white Maxima in the background along side a fence. I am pretty sure that Maxima is a salvage title car that the seller has also been trying to sell on CL for months and months.

 

You can also tell it is a 3.5 by the gated auto shifter. The shifter was not gated until 2002.

 

Carfax sucks ***. Doesnt tell you crap. I ran the VIN on my camry that I'm about to sell. The car has been in 2 accidents both over 3500$ in damage both of which I repoted to my insurance company and my car compes up as perfectly clean on carfax. It was pretty shocking to me... so now I dont trust carfax AT ALL.

 

yes car fax is garbage. Lots of info doesn't make it to them for some reason.

 

My GXE came with those wheels (5-spokes).

 

yeap it is an 02-03... if you buythe car check the front body.... and also check for alignment etc. It looks fine to me but be careful.

 

Carfax sucks!
They have no way to reveal any accidents that pre-owners want hidding.

 

The 5-spoke alloy wheels were GLE wheels but optional for GXE. They were standard on GLE.

 

If on the surface it's just a parts swap for whatever reason it's no big deal. I don't see it a "ripoff." If, on the other hand, it's Frankensteined because it's been smacked up yeah, maybe a problem.

OTOH - If its record is OK, looks like a flipper! 11k = 15k on resale.

Low price is disconcerting, though.

 

For 02-03, the GXE came with those 5 spoke rims. The GLE came with 7 spoke rims.
