2001 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
2001 Nissan Maxima SE
 I purchased this vehicle "used" in 2004. I have loved the performance and styling of the Maxima.  Shortly after purchase I needed a 02 sensor and a new catalytic converter.  I was lucky to have purchased a pre-owned warranty that covered the problems that would have cost me approx. $1000.  I also needed to replace the Bridgestone potenzas that I found to be horrible in the snow.  If you plan to buy a car that has 17" rims remember that even the best all season radial tire at (225/17/93V) will be marginal in the snow.  I purchased Continental Conti- touring tires at a great price and have put approx. 20K on them with no problems. The 2001 Nissan Maxima SE is a solid choice for the price.
