do all 99 SE-l's come with leather? just curious.

 

I think they should....

 

They should but not all of them do. Also not all of them came with the Security and Convienience package...aka, key fob and alarm.

 

no... not all. But mine does..

 

HOLY SH!TE...The 'Jarrod' on Maxima.org?

You're right though...my car is one of VERY FEW. Sterling Mist SE-L with no S&C package, no sunroof, no power seats, no leather...I'm sure I could be missing something else.

I call it the 'Weight Reduction Package'...

 

No mine didn't and but it had ABS/BOSE and Sunroof. talk about weird combo.

 

The L in the SE-L was NOT for leather. It was for Limited Edition. So, not all SE-L have Leather. You would have had to get a SE-Limited with Leather to get the Leather. The SE-L had the same options as the SE but the differences were the titanium colorted emblems and rims and SE-L on the floor mats. Oh. And it was also called the 99.5 model as it has some parts from the 2000 model cars.

 

Must be why it says 'Limited' under the SE badges on the front quarter panels...
People on the .Org call it the 99.5 model...my car was built in 2/99, not in the middle of 99.

Name the parts that are on the 2000 model cars but not any other 4th gens.

 

lol.....yeah...

 

I don't know which exact parts. But I distinctly remember some thread which mentioned that some parts are from the 2000 model year. I think it was related to in-cabin Filter IIRC.

 

They All Should

 

Gotta love the SE-L, except the fact that ABS wasn't standard! ::shakes fist::

 

I Think All Se Maximas Come W/ Lthr, Cause They Are The Top Of The Line...i Think. My 95 Se Did.

 

SE's are not top of the line, goes GXE, SE, GLE. And no, not all SE-L's do come with leather. Mine in fact does not have leather, but it does have all of the other options. SE-L's are virtually the same as any SE, they were just produced after the the normal run of 99's were done. All of the VIN's have dates of late 1998's to very early months of 1999.

 

LOL...........nice man

 

So true...I know Chevrolet did the same with the last of the 'old style' Tahoes in 2000. My cousin had a 2000 Tahoe Limited...
Since the companies were going to a new body style it is common for them to use the extra parts for a limited edition run at the end.

 

Yeah, crazy how my (and lots of other SE-Ls,) were produced month(s) before the 5th gen came out.. they should've thrown in the VVT 3.0 VQ! (00-01)

 

I thought they all did because the Se-l have se-l stitched in the seats

 

If leather is equipped. I got everything except for the side curtains/abs/heated mirrors..

 

I use to have a 99 SE-L Pearl white/Black leather - has Bose/Sunroof/abs/ Leather had SE-L embriodered on it. and of course the tiatanuim guages and Rims, god i loved that car.

 

Is it possible that some 99's had a 5th gen manual transmission? I replaced mine with one out of a 99 and the shifter sits much further back than before. Everyone that puts 5th gen 5spd trannies in their 4th gen say that the shifter sits back further. In first gear my shifter is almost straight up and in 2nd it lays back really far. It wasn't like this before.

 

Yeah - I honestly don't like the Maximas beyond 1999. This body style & everything just seems so - authentic. I'uno. Except for my Gcoupe. Slirp.

 

I've got a 99 SE-L, used to have a 99 GXE. No leather, but the cloth upholstery in the SE-L is much nicer (shading and pattern) than the cloth in the GXE. btw, it was made in 12/98, hard to figure how any 2k parts could have gotten in there.
