Used Car advice...

Well, we are looking at trading in the wife's Explorer....

Need some info/feelings about the following vehicles from my AZ brethren...

2000 Maxima
2000 Accord LX
2002 Altima
2003 Stratus
Any other 4-door mid-size sedans I am overlooking

Anything you can tell me regarding reliability, drive comfort, etc. would be helpful.
Thanks

To bad you weren't looking sooner, I would have sold you my moms Maxima. 2001 GLE fuly loaded with 80k miles we let go for around 10k.

Go for a Maxima though. Really solid cars. My mom has had two and neither had major problems and she puts on 20k+ miles a year.
And stay away from the American stuff. Their lower end sedans are built like shit.

the Maxima has some awesome potential. great aftermarket section, smooth, reliable, strong ride. if you could find a maxima se for a good price, you'll love it. an accord lx will feel really cheap after a while..

Maxima would be my choice. It was when I bought the CLS and probably will be again in the future.

A Passat and AWD Legacy GT are two others I'd probably add to that list ahead of the Chrysler. I dont think I'd actually purchase either in the end though. Maxima wins out for me.
