Seriously though, save your money and KEEP THE SE!!! use the extra money you'd spend on the spec V to mod your SE and make it a ton faster than the spec!
Yeah if you want a fast car and already have the SE, don't take the hit from a trade-in. Just turbo your car, it will be safe, reliable, way faster than any spec, and cheaper. You can take the extra money you save and upgrade the preformance, audio, rims, suspension, whatever you want.
Well either way she wants to do it I say good for her. I like my Spec personally but that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the SE. Anyhow, welcome to the boards.

You are talking to a "Nissan Gal". Never owned anything except Nissan's. My Dad works for the company, and I get amazing deals. So I change my cars every two or so years. I bought the 01 SE after putting 150,000 miles on my G20t. And I needed a car fast and never really got "into" the SE like I would have liked. The Spec was what I was waiting for, but as timing would have it, I needed a car immediately.
So my heart being set on the Spec, I just had to have one. As for the trade-in, I am getting it above Black Book prices, which they usually go by on auction. And I can't even begin to tell you the deal I am getting on my new Spec! In the end I will actually be paying a LOWER car payment! So how can I pass it up when all the stars lined up!
Thanks for the welcome! I will keep you updated on how it goes and will be posting pics of my new baby!
I'm a big fan of the SE, and my family and I have been Nissan people for a long time, at least the early 80's in America. I don't know what my parents drove back before they came over from Thailand. I've also driven quite a few stock and modded Spec's. They aren't the same car at all. If you're not going to go over all the basic bolt ons, the Spec is your car.

i have a friend with a SER sr20, great motor.... however my spec v has a warrenty and i still pulled him by a car length. If i felt like modding another car i would have got an old sr20 motor car. But i already have one non-street legal car, i want something i dont have to worry about. If shit breaks on the spec, i take it to the dealership... FREE!

Is a warranty supposed to slow your car down? LOL
The Sr20 is a great motor. I have a 2000 SE, and I wouldn't trade the car in for anohter car (Even if my car payment was going to be lower)! As for modding the SR20, you don't have to turbo it. At this point a turbo is not really an option, and I have found that the SR20 can handle a good amount of NAWSSS.
I hope you enjoy your new car! As long as you like it, that's all that matters.
Just wanted to say HI!
I needed some backing
