1995 Maxima SE 5-Speed ODB1 (RARE)

I got a good deal on it. Now the fun begins. MORE PAPERWORK, MORE MONEY. I just did this last month for the Marauder and go to DMV on the 8th to finalize the registration stuff. :) The funny thing is, I was looking at a Camry. One of the 'Nissan' guys said, man check out the Maxima. I was thinking, a Maxima? But I want reliable and I wasn't so sure about Nissan. Anyway, I checked it out and it sure the heck looks a lot more fun than a Camry! After reading a TON of good reviews on performance and reliability, I went on a search for the right car. I wanted a 95-99, SE, 5-Speed with a Moonroof. This one is even nicer as it has leather, auto climate, heated seats, etc, etc. Finding a car these days with maintenance records is few and far between. After talking with them, I decided it was a worth while purchase.

I've been craving something with a manual ever since I sold my 99 Trans AM WS6 6-Speed. Not quite the same, but hey it does have a nice V6. This is the first non-V8 car I've ever purchased.

I hope to have it in a couple of weeks and then the two 9C1's will hit Auto Trader and/or Ebay. After owning five different 94-96 LT1 B-Bodies, I'm closing that chapter and moving on!

Congrats - you'll love tha Maxima. Obviously a lot different experience than the MM. The reliabilty is well documented to be exceptional, and the Nissan V-6 with the 5-spped is one of the great combinations out there. If you want to go that route, there are a lot of good performance parts out there for Nissans and the Maxima. Either way, it will be a great car for you for years to come. I had one a long time ago and still miss it.
