JDMckay, why are you getting rid of the 2000,if you are looking for more power just mod it. Just curious.
#5169 of 8972 Trading in 2000 GLE by jdmckay Jul 17, 2002 (9:49 am)
I wanted to trade my GLE in while I still could get a good price on it. I've had it for 3 years, and I wanted to get something new. Hopefully, I will be able to get 15,500-16,000 trade in. I am also thinking about trying to sell it outright for 16,500-17,500. Anybody hear anything on the 2004 Maximas?

You might want to look into the Infiniti G35. That is a very nice car and would be a good step up from the Maxima.

has some new spy pics of the new Maxima. They just came in yesterday. I must admit, I don't like it much.

#5173 of 8972 New Maxima Quandry...Buy a 2002, 2003, or Wait for 2004 by mtkaplan Jul 17, 2002 (1:02 pm)
To give you my 2 cents... The value of your present car will drop more after the 2004 comes out. Then again, the longer you keep your car, the less it is costing you per year as the car depreciates. Then again, it is always nice to drive a new car. I bought a 2003 GLE and because of lease, I got the same price on the 2003 as I was offered on the 2002. As of whether to buy 2002 or 2003, from what I see, you are looking to sell because of resale value of your older car. Well, resale is better on a 2003 bought now rather than a 2002 which is already 1 year old. If you were to keep it for many years then it would not matter much. You should try a few dealers as you may be able to get almost as good a price on the '03 as on the '02. Just look at the bottom line and see the difference between the two. If you like to buy a new car every 3 years for example, then look back and see the difference in value for a 2 year old car and a 3 year old car (or 3 and 4 year olds). See which difference is larger. If for example the 2 year old car has a 2500.00 higher value than the 3 year old and your purchase price on an '03 is $1000.00 more than an '02, them get the '03. You would still save 1500.00
#5174 of 8972 Tourqe Steer by jimmyj1945 Jul 17, 2002 (1:54 pm)
Can someone (especially someone with a 6-Speed) tell me how bad is the tourqe steer on the 2002 or 2003 Max? I had a 1999 Max-5-speed and the tourqe steer was real bad. With 65 more HP is it even worse or have they done something to help with this problem?   Thanks for your input,   Jim
#5175 of 8972 Jimmy... by vocus Jul 18, 2002 (7:10 am)
I rented a 2002 SE automatic, and the torque steer was pretty bad. So bad, in fact, that I think traction control should be standard. I have a 2002 1.8T (180hp turbo) Jetta, and the Maxima's torque steer is alot worse than the Jetta's, mainly because the Jetta has the ASR slip control.
#5176 of 8972 Torque steer by mirth Jul 18, 2002 (8:38 am)
I own a '02 GXE, and the torque steer is bad when you gun it, especially off of a turn. But I'm used to it so it's not dangerous or anything. Plus, I repeat that it's only when you really stamp the accelerator - you don't notice anything in regular driving.
#5177 of 8972 sheryl bought her car by sheryl22 Jul 18, 2002 (12:02 pm)
Thanks for all the advice on these boards! Last night I bought a 2002 Maxima SE automatic, 157 miles, Super Black with Frost leather, premium bose audio system, and sunroof for $25800 (plus my sales tax and docs brought it to a drive out price of $27700). I was able to finance $22000 for 60 months at 3.9% interest....which is a lot less than I can make on my money in my other investments! After driving this hunk of a car, I am in love and think I made a very good choice! It's worth every penny! To all who are also thinking about this car.....I'd say GO FOR IT!
