chick car?

[81 clark racing]

ok so heres the deal im 17 looking at buying myself a car. i found a good deal on a 97 maxima fully loaded 5 speed 90k miles for 3,300 b.o. however all my buddies keep telling me its a chick car what do you guys think? also any1 no if there good realiable or what? thanxs

[cbrooks118]

nissans are generally a reliable car. My wife had one!... Just kidding when i was in high school no one cared what kind of car it was, just if it ran and had tunes

[81 clark racing]

thanxs ya haha thats true, i guess its just a few close buddies bustin my balls. what ever tho as long as it gets me where i wanna go then im happy.

[quad2xtreme]

Hope not, I had three of them...two 95s and a 96.

My 95...I sold with 100K miles on it in 98. The new owner had 250K last I checked several years ago. My 96, I bought with 130K miles on it and took it to 200K before I sold it. One of my closest friends had a 95 with 280K when he sold it to me for $500 so I could have the rear spoiler.

The 96 stick was faster than both 95 automatics. You will get about 25 mpg.

None of these cars had any work performed other than recommended maintenance.

dude dont get that a buddy of mine found a 1992 nissan 300zx like race yellow fully loaded it was just amazing for 2,900 with 100k miles but there are many audi's a4's u can get for that kind of money and those things are plain sexi

[Dune Surfer]

Not a chick car, reliable, I would go for it, sounds like a good deal. Don't buy a car someone has raced around in.

[mineralgrey01gt]

hey man if it gets you from point A to B thats all that matters

[400EXtreme]

no a jetta is a chick car.

[Raptor68]

I have an '02 Maxima 6 speed and couldn't be happier with it. That '97 should have the 3.0VQ engine in it which I think was rated one of the 10 best engines of all time. They are quick cars, look good, and get decent mileage. I'd say go for it!

god damn shut up about that 300zx



:(

[gbcap]

its not a manly rear wheel drive american muscle car but i woudln't call it a chick car. at your age you need something reliable more then something cool. get what you can get as long as you are not going to be putting alot of work into it. it emptys the wallet really quickly if the car needs alot of work.

i think they look decent and are pretty nice cars.

A '92 Z32 for only $2,900 Isn't really fully loaded. For it to be considered fully loaded it would have to be a VG30DETT and I would be willing to bet his is a VG30DE.... You aren't going to find a fully loaded Z for under 10 grand unless you're in a junk yard. Where does he live by chance? I've only seen 2 other Z's around here besides mine and they're both VG30DE which is a total waist of a 300.... If you buy one get the TT. It's well worth the money you'll fork up. I bought mine for $12,900 and have put about $5,000 into it so far just under the hood. I had it dyno'd and it's at 497 RWHP and 417 ft. lb. Well worth the money if you love a car that you can drive daily and take it to the track on the weekends.

I personally am not big on used cars , especially older used cars i know for a fact that im getting a brand new yellow mustang v6 stick shift and after i buy it im going to buy a nice set of pipes, slap a blower on it and buy a chip or something if it needs it =]

[81 clark racing]

y you would waste your money and buy a v6 and put all that work into it? its a waste get a real mustang v8

[sideways]

has anyone ever really opened up their maxima? i have an 02 that i've done 155mph in. are these supposed to be governed?

[Raptor68]

I thought they were limited to 145, but maybe not...

[81 clark racing]

ok so i have found a few different maximas. the 1 really wanted was all ready sold. i just found a 96 5 speed for 3,795. the guy said he would take 3,500. you guys think its a good deal or what? im still going to try and talk him down everything seems good to go in it and its road ready.

and yes it was a twin turbo it was located in ny and i kno their plain amazing cars thats y i said that was a deal because the TT ones are so expansive and that one was only 3gz i found it on auto trader

Your deffinately between a rock and a hard place. First off a brand new mustang for a 16 year old. Is that really necessary. Second, a V6 is ok if your going to be 16; however in a few years you won't be 16 anymore and the V6 will scream gayness.

If I were you I would by a pile........drive it through high school. Then buy a real car later on.

Would you please shut up about your "Supercharged Turboed" pustang.... Honestly.. They completely ruined the Camaro and the Mustang by giving the V6 option.

I still think it's internet talk.... No way is someone stupid enough to sell a TT for 3k unless it was totalled.....

[81 clark racing]

well i went and talked to the guy about the 96 maxima 5 speed for 3,795. it has 152k miles. the guy said he would take 3,200. you guys think its a good deal or what

Mustangs are chick cars. At least almost every one I see has a chick driving it.

deff are. I was walking threw the hallway in school and some sophomore girls come out of there class saying, "I want a red mustang". And the other gril was like "OMG! I want a yellow one!!11!1" and giggled away. No offence to mustang owners. I like mustangs, Id take one in a heartbeat.

Ur liek 14! Ur gonna change ur mind 50 times by the time u can go take ur permit test. Plus where does the money come from?

I am almost 18, drive a beater and would take any decent car i could find. When i can spent $15,000 is when i can make a real decision on what car i want. Just keep ur eyes open for a good deal. Both deals on the maximas sound good to me.

[81 clark racing]

listen 07250ex rider i didnt post this thread for you to talk about ur lil ****ing sally stang so if you wanna talk about that start your own god dam thread. im sick of reading post in my thread about it. its now 3 pages long and more then half is about your lil girl stang.

Truth.
You kids crack me up. I have a newsflash for you. There is no car that makes your sausage bigger if you own it. Its just a car! Buy something that runs good, is safe, and doesn't cost a ton to insure.

yea but in a bmw girls jump on ur sausage just for having it

LMAO,
Don't marry that one.

[81 clark racing]

ok what you guys think of this deal i scored this moring. 98 maxima gold in color , automatic, moon roof, body clean inside and out and it only has 64,900 miles. i paid 5g. the only thing that sucks is it dosent have a spoiler does any1 no if i can just get a spolier off another 98 and put it on? thanxs steve

[Raptor68]

Yeah you should be able to get a spoiler off any other late model 4th gen Maxima...'96-'99. If it didn't come with a spolier, and you add a spoiler, you will have another 3rd brake light, since one should be mounted in the rear window from the factory and one should be mounted in the spoiler as well. You can always just remove the bulb from the one mounted in the window or remove the light completely. But then again, I could be wrong and there may not be a 3rd brake light in that year of spoiler anyways.

Sounds like a nice car though, especially cause of the low miles. My '02 Maxima has 61K on it, so 64,900 in a '98 is really good. Post up some pics!

[81 clark racing]

thanxs ya ill post up pics soon. the only thing that sucks is it has steel wheels. im just going to get a set of alloy ones but im leaving now to go get it.

[450Rchaser]

Spoiler, no problem. Take the carpet off the trunk lid and you should be able to see the spots to drill holes in the trunk lid for perfect mounting on a factory spoiler. It should look liked a small circle where you should drill.

[81 clark racing]

awesome thanxs guys. any1 no of a good performance exhaust. i dont want an exhaust that turns everyones head when i drive down the road haha. but i want it to be a little bit louder and have some good gains thanxs

[Raptor68]

Definitely check out Cattman Performance...the owner (Brian Catts) specializes in Maximas. I purchased a stainless cat-back exhaust from him and love it.

Check out frankencar.com for exhaust, intakes, etc. I have one of their cold air intakes. They also have good exhaust systems.

Also check out maxima.org. Lot of good info plus they often have group deals on stuff from Cattman and other suppliers.

http://www.frankencar.com

http://www.maxima.org

[81 clark racing]

thanxs man i really appericate it. i was just looking at putting and intake and exhaust in what brand would you reccomed? Also how hard is it to put the intake in looks like a pain.

[Raptor68]

The intake (cold air pipe - not the intake manifold) is really easy to install and would maybe take an hour. I really like frankencar's intake kits.

The frankencar exhaust is probably a bit cheaper than Cattman's but I don't think you could go wrong with either.

EDIT: Sorry I just realized frankencar doesn't make exhaust systems for your year...at least not yet.

no its def. not a chick car, the only people who i know that own them are my 2 grandmas and my sister best friend

Exactly. I'm 19 in college and paying for everything. I don't know where these kids get the money, but if there's any left over you can tell your mommy and daddy I'll take some...

Btw- I drive a '96 GMC Sonoma 2.2L 5-spd....that's how much money I don't have. At least I save quite a bit on insurance and gas.:ermm:

[81 clark racing]

o ya btw i paid 5,700 for my maxima. and I PAID EVERY PENNY OF IT! and im 17 i think thats preatty dam good. its called working your *** off getting paid 14 an hr and SAVING. and if you look in my sig i paid for the quad and everything on it by myself. rents bought a few lil things for xmas and my bday. and for all you guys out there that mommy and daddy buys u everything you suck haha.

Holy crap, where do you get paid 14 hr??? I started out working for 5.50 an hour, next job was 5.50 again and got a raise up to 6.70 eventually (thought I was making good money!), did construction for a month at 10 an hour cash, then got a job starting out at 7.50 with an eventual raise to 8.70. Now they're cutting my hours, wages, and position and so my two weeks is in...

Anywhere around here you have to have a 2-4 year degree to get paid 14hr+.
