Hold out for the 03?

Apr 21st, 2003, 12:15 PM

I was wondering with the recalls on the 02 tranny for the spec v, should i still get the 03 or replace the tranny on the 02. I might not be able to afford the 03 because i am still in my teens and dont make a great deal of money. So, should i get the 02 with new tranny or an 03?

do you own a Spec V? if so, Nissan should be replacing the tranny for you, wiht an 03.

you should be able to get an 03 for around 17000. i got my loaded 03 spec for 17400 in late december of 2002

Thanks for the info. I just bought my spec V used a couple weeks ago... any idea how I find out what recalls have already happened and what new stuff i can get etc. I heard there was a recall on the headlights because they were fogging up or something... and my driver side one does that a little bit sometimes... so a new one would be cool.

If I were you I would try to find a 03, there is of coarse the revised tranny as well as a couple other tweaks---hunt around you should be able to come up with something fair.

hell yea.... i'm 17 yrs old with a 02 Spec-V......my friend....17 with RSX type-S.....we're so lucky.....but if you dont got the cash, there arnt any major problems with the 02, and if there are Nissan with fix it for free under warranty

yeah, im 18 and i bought my 02 spec v used because its way cheaper.... saved up for two years and now i have payments for the next.... long time... lol.... but its worth it! if you can afford a brand new spec v then get it.... the only differences are... the interior color (silver now... i prefer the red in the 02) ... better gear spacing (03) and better suspension (supposedly, 03.... but you could go aftermarket with an 02)
