hey guys! my maxima is about to be sold and i am looking for something to get! i LOVE maximas but i also like change and to switch things up! my budget is $7,000 im only looking for picking up something through private parties if anyone has any ideas or a car they think is good post the link! transmission can ONLY be manual thanks for your anticipated help!

 

get a 240

 

looking for something after the year 2000

 

shouldve said that in your op..

jetta
audi a4
civic si
saab
gti
mustang
rx8
rsx

just to name a few that are past 2000

 

Celica GTS? really depends what ur looking for, do some research.

 

^ i dont think you can get a RX8 for under $10k

you could probably get a nice Sentra SER though

 

Rx8's LOOK nice but are too low and underpowered for my taste

you can, but yes they are gay...just throwing out ideas...

a sentra ser yeah but he has a maxima...why downgrade unless he is planning on throwing in a vq in it lol

 

You should buy mines for 11K.

 

my budget is $7,000 and i prefer stock ONLY.

 

That rx8 is pretty nice but they are too damn slow, hmmm maybe a 1.8T jetta although i think maximas look a lot better especially mine

 

indeed hence one reason why i said they are gay

 

RX8's are slow but theyre crazy fun, my Uncle has one and went all out in it and theyre ridiculously cool

if youre willing to dip into the late 90's a S14 or Z32 would be worth looking into

 

Dont rotory's usually have tons of problems, and for your best interest save some more money and get a clean car with low miles on it.

 

early RX8's had seal problems and it usually toasted the engine so people had to get new engines dropped in, the later models had the issues fixed

dont forget Wankel rotaries in RX7 and Renesis rotaries in RX8 are 2 different apples

 

^^^ Thought i heard of similar problems on the rx8 models. Thanks for clearing it up.

 

Honda accord v6 coupe 99-02 or you might find an 03+ w/ high miles for 7k

 

Not really a honda fan! except for the S2k but its too small for me im 6'2

 

I suggest NOT buying a used car in NY area PERIOD or any cold weather city!!

know anyone in Florida?

I drove my 2k Max from TN to NYC and Im still crying! I may be in NYC for winters for my business and seriously looking for a used Wrangler or old Bronco, something that can handle the terrible roads.

People drive like they dont care about there cars, I assume thats why half of them look the way they do!

GOOD LUCK

 

All of these options seem worse than having a Maxima. Either slower or worse looking or have a higher potential for more issues.

 

I would say a Mustang GT/Cobra. I kind of regret not selling my max and just getting a mustang. think about how easy it would be to go fast, all it takes is bolt ons!
Also a 97-02 Camaro/Firebird would be tight for all the same reasons as the mustang. 97+ has the LS1.

If you want import, take a look at the Lexus GS300 or SC300.

 

I got a 93 Lexus sc300 if u want it I also got a 02 audi tt 225 quattron low mileage

 

It's the 98-02 that has LS1s. That would be my first recommendation, but you will have a hard time finding one that hasn't been abused.

Otherwise... If I had 7k to spend right now and wanted something like the maxima, I would find a 1995 maxima with no sunroof, cloth interior, for cheap and VQ35 swap it + boltons and and tune. May even be able to fit a S/C into that budget depending on price of the maxima.

 

test drive one, youll fall in love with it, trust me

 

Just sit back for the first 5k+ rpms and wait for VTAK to engage.
