to buy or not to buy

Whats up guys....this is new territory to me...I own a third gen 94 VG max...I'm looking to buy a 96-98 max because I'm absolutely in love with the car but want some performance. Anyone have any ballpark suggestions on how much one of these bad boys will or should cost? And while I'm at it, what are the differences between the trim lines? Preparing for a flaming for that last one...

really depends on where you are and what the max has for options and mileage. my friend just lucked out and got a 95 for $5,000. i payed a lot more myself...but, it really depends on if the year and other stuff. as far as the trim, it's in the FAQ's. but basically...gxe is the stipped down model, se is sportiest one and is only model to come with stock spoiler, and gle is more luxurious model, comes with leather/sunroof/auto climate and other stuff. there are tons more but you can read up on that for yourself. options vary but all rides end up looking different after modding anyways...goodluck

If you really want some performace try to find a 300zx, twin turbo or not. If you get an N/A you can always put in a better turbo. You still got the VQ power under the hood without the thing that limits the Max...front wheel drive
Zs dont use VQs

True, true. That is a VG30DE or VG30DETT.

Don't get a N/A and turbo it. It is not easy and costs at least $6000 to do it right. Check out twinturbo.net and they will always say do NOT turbo a N/A when you can buy a twin turbo instead.
