This kinda reminds me of this older guy (early 60s) at my job who always seeks me out to talk about cars; all he want to talk about is "how well different models ride" and trunk space comparisons.

If I'm in danger of becoming that way, I hope I'm not into cars anymore.

resale on new Maxima is going to be terrible since its so ugly. btw this is a reason the OLD '02-'03 Maximas (in good condition) are HOLDING their value, to some extent...

i just drove the new maxima. I hated it. The doors feel so cheap and the interior isnt as nice as a 03 model. Driving wise its decent for my brother.

Why nissan why!!!

Also i got the guy to sell the car for under invoice, guess they arent selling too hot.

my 01 had good headroom and legroom. i am 6'.
even with the seat back pretty far there was a lot of room

....and silver is probably the least flattering color for the 6G Maxima.

Well ill be damned, he just got a qoute for $700 UNDER invoice with that 1.9% for 60 months.

I think he said like 29,500 for it. Everything without navi.

hmm done deal. He bought a 2004 Maxima SE for $29,500. Sticker was at i think $33,300. So they are easily selling for under invoice.

He also got the 1.9% for 60 months, no restrictions (so they say).. :cool2:

I drove it and i have to admit it felt nice. Way too big for me but the steering is nice and tight. I didnt punch it hard of course and didnt take any fast turns, but i was impressed otherwise. Still like my A4 better

I like the looks of the new Max, but I would rather stay in VTEC range, so TL would be my choice, that is, IF I needed a 4 door car.

$17.5k for a base SE:

$21.7k for a GLE (w/o Navi):
http://www.showauto.com/viewfull.asp?ID=928995

For a little under $24k, you (he) could even upgrade to an 03 Infiniti I35 (glorified Max GLE):
http://www.showauto.com/viewfull.asp?ID=932534

just my $.02
__________________
G35S might be similar with max but it is not a glorified GLE because one is FWD and one is RWD.
Maxima is a glorified Altima
i still dont understand why nissan has to have both altima and maxima... a fully loaded Altima 3.5SE costs almost as much as a well equiped maxima.

Crazy, your bro made a good choice on 6th gen. Maxima. Those fuckers are totally underrated, have solid auto tranny and run same as G35 by being much larger and I like Maxima interior better then G35.

It's like...YIKES!!!! I'm all for diversity and all but even THAT should have some limitation. Lucky for Nissan, the Saturn Ion has a MUCH uglier interior!!!

Think they need to redo the front end like the 05 altima and it will be fine.
