efuseakay here! Long-time Nissan owner, as follows:
'90 Maxima
'95 Maxima
'99 Maxima
'04 Maxima (currently)
I know. I know. Geez! Well, this will be my last Maxima. It's been a good run with some annoyances, but overall, I'll never forget ya! I am actually considering a few cars, none of which really have anything in common, which makes this so damn difficult!
2010 G37xS Sedan
2010 SHO (I don't wanna hear it!)
2010 Z
I think I can swing a coupe and be happy for a long time, so it really comes down to which car I can get the best deal on. I have been a customer of my local Nissan dealer for 20 years, as stated above, so the Z is looking pretty good right now (especially with my trade-in with only 56k miles, that they "desperately want" lol). Only problem with the dealer is that there is a whole new service staff (desk), and I don't know any of them at all. Heck, one of them told me that they don't to TSBs... wtf? But 4 of the mechanics that have worked on my '99 and '04 Maximas are still there, and know me, so any actual work would be done right. I'm sure of that!
I just started lurking here a few days ago, and really appreciate all the info about this car... both good and bad. That's what this place is about! Heck, even if I don't go with the Z, I'll still stick around! If I can swing a good deal on a Z, it'll be a Journey/Sport/7AT with Nav/illuminated kick plates. Might be tough finding one, but I've always been pretty lucky. I'm not all too sure on color either. But I know I can't do black, being here in Chicago.
Well, that's a long enough hello, so let's get back to posting!
