Originally posted by Wylde Horses Ok, I'm thinking of getting either a brand new Altima, or perhaps a used 2000 Maxima. The maxima is fully loaded, has a nice set of after market wheels, has very low mileage and the price would be a fair bit lower then the new altima. On the other hand, I just love the looks of the new altimas. What would you do if you were in my shoes, and why?
OK, this has been around for quite awhile, have you made a decision and if you have which way did you go?
I just traded my Alty 2K2 SE Auto for a 2K4 Max SE 6speed m/t. I was impressed with the 265hp and the slick shifting. I loved my Alty but my wife hated the cardboard seats and yearned for the Max. The 04`s have independant rear suspension, lovely ride.
Originally posted by Coco Rat, do you have any pics yet? What color did you get?
Hey Coco, No pics yet but I could take some, the Majestic Blue SE is sitting on the lot with a sold sign. My Alty`s lease is paid till the end of the month so I am just waiting. It is black leather inside and skyview roof. 4 heated bucked seatsand heated mirrors and steering wheel, power folding mirrors, and a shit load of other features. It is about $4k cdn more than the Alty and the interest rate is 5.8% compared to the Alty 6.4%?? Go figure, I`m delighted
Originally posted by Coco Wow! Good deal man...what's your take on the grill?
Gotta get a grill 4 SURE. Trenz is the only act in town so far that I know of. Mossy looks like the trenz and in fact it is, I went to the site and looks as if they added the burger and that`s it.
I saw a photoshoped pic of the Max with an Infiniti grill, now that I like. If you know of anything out there Coco, I would greatly appreciate it.........
Originally posted by Coco Definitely a market for those grills. I'm sure someone will jump on it.
I hope so and soon..I can`t understand why Nissan is doing that to all their grills, right from the Sentra all the way through their vehicle line. That bar in the middle sucks.

It does suck. It's part of Nissans plan to make
a brand name for themselves. I think it's fugly, just like the new
Nissan Quest.
Nissan made ugly cars in the past and it killed their sales.
I sure hope they don't follow that trend again.

Originally posted by wickedsr20 There's a problem there then, because I haven't lost to any TL's in my '03, including the newest kill of a Type S. His was a stick, mine is an auto.
ok... good topic.. but I had to reply to this line... sorry...
they don't make a TL Type-S stick... does not exist and no one has ever done a swap. The TL Type-S is 260hp and dyno's around 210hp to the wheel. The stick is only available in the CL Type-S and was only available in 03 in limited production. I have quite a few TL/CL buddies and they'd laugh at the owner of that TL for not winning. I LOVE the new Altimas as well (especially with the VQ35DE) but I'm not exactly sure about it beating a true TL Type-S.
The altima is going to be faster than the 2k Max hands down, and though I MUST agree that I am a maxima nut all around, it's your car what you want to do.

Just keep this figure in mind...Car and Driver pulled the '03 Altima 3.5 SE from 0-60mph in a blazing 5.9 seconds! their best in a Maxima was 6.4. I love both of them equally as well, but I think the Altima looks better anyway.
