I got a new car!
Well, not new new, but newer than my 90 maxima. well i am now the proud owner of a 2002 maxima. Its majestic blue with frost interior. the exact combo which i was looking for.
it was a recent addition to the nissan dealership so i made an appointment with the AAA rep there (flashed my AAA Headquarters employee badge and made sure i mentioned i knew the public affairs dept. Director). Took it for a test drive and fell in love. It didn't have two things that i was hoping it would: leather and sunroof, but everything else is just how i imagined.
It had only 26k on the dial. Initially i was just coming in to do research and see how much a car would cost me. i already had a loan that just has to be finalized but once again i was just researching. never intended on buying a car. then he presented me with the price 17,888 and after think it over for 10 mins i decided to go ahead and buy it. The car is certified for 6 years or 100,000 miles for the powertrain and also i'm still cover under the original warranty up to i believe 2 more years and until the car reaches 36k.
I'm really excited. On monday i finalize the loan and hopefully i receive the check the same day but as a safety i told them i would pick it up on Tues after work.
But thats my story. I plan to keep the car stock with only minor exceptions (Strut bar and Clear exterior reflectors). i just want to enjoy my car and be happy that all those long hours at work finally paid off. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Oh and Bluesbreker, from what i've seen the 3.5 = all the way home. Thanks for the warm welcome!

One thing you may want to do this weekend while you're washing it to clean up the back would be to shave off the dealer stickers on the deck lid and maybe even the "Maxima" and "SE" emblems. Car looks really nice, congrats.

Quick question. Are you sure the car isn't a 2k3? The taillights look different (you have the little stripe between the upper and lower part of the lights). I was under the impression that was one of the minor (and i emphasize minor) changes between the 2k2 and 2k3. Just curious. In either case you'll love the car as most of us do.
