order one like you want, to be ordered in july (1st week). the car will come in with the '05s, and any incentives that will be available will be there when your car arrives.
settle on your price, but make sure it says that any incentives available at delivery are yours to keep in addition to the dealer discount.
the worst thing that can happen is that they dont offer rebates...then you just got the best price anyway.
as for cost... i could justtify the cost since, for 50k miles, i dont have to bother with it..and the regular filter is about $11.. changing it once every 10k miles, for 50k miles, gets my money's worth... but you'll probably get a better feeling knowing you're putting in a new filter everytime.. to each their own..
Thanks for your input. I am trying to see if the majority has any problem with this air filter.
I am not expecting any boost in the hp. If I do, I will install some CAI system. Have u cleaned & re-oiled the air filter so far ? Do u see any increase in mileage ?

I went out to Carmax of Greenville today to look at Maximas and Honda Accords.
Not ONE of them was a stick shift. As a matter of fact NONE of the new Maximas or Altimas had stick shifts.
The salemen even informed me to just give up because I am not going to find one, at least not at Carmax.
Especially if you want a fully loaded Maxima (I do)
I am going to keep looking though.
If I decide to get the Altima, I will just have to order it from the factory....same goes for the Maxima.
I think driving a manual probably makes a driver more engaged with and alert to road conditions. But most people, especially here in America and women (don't call me sexiest), would like to drive automatics because of the wide roads and ease of operation. Although I don't have any empirical data to back myself, I believe most Europeans know how to drive manuals.
Bowke, I assume your post was trashed by the host. Can you summarize what percent of Maximas your dealership gets are manuals and how many you currently have on your lot? If your post # 7208 is accurate, I don't know why your previous post was deleted.
Thanks.
Sounds like those numbers have drifted lower, but I would be surprised if less than 15% of the SE's of the 2002/3 were manuals. The 6-speeds were in high demand here and my dealer estimated that 20% of the SE's that they sold were 6-speeds - most at less of a discount than a similarly equiped automatic.
On the "sexist" comment, my two daughters - ages 5 & 8 - have mastered the 1-2 shift on our Honda S2000 from the passenger seat (I work the clutch). My 15 mph self imposed speed limit doesn't allow them to try the 2-3 shift. When we were doing some early shopping for an SUV replacement, my 5 year old asked the Honda sales person why a Pilot didn't have a "stick shift". His explanation didn't satisfy her and she responded (rather loadly) that we should get the BMW X5 3.0 5-speed. That raised an eyebrow or two.
Thanks.
I couldn't agree with you more. I am not opposed in
any way to making a profit. That's what business is
all about. But, in a huge number of cases, if you
look at what you are receiving for the money you are spending, it (the cost) is absolutely absurd
and beyond all reason and logic. When you question
"why" you get totally incomprehensible "spin" like,
"Well, that's just what it cost."

seen it this stagnant! What happened?

I must say that it's starting to grow on me a little, if I don't pay too much attention to the front. The rear is sharp.
But, it is still way too pricey.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Folks, it would be appreciated if you did not use the Town Hall to promote other automotive message boards. In fact, your Membership Agreement requires that you not do so.
Thanks for your understanding.
The interior, on the other hand, is dissapointing. Nissan just doesn't get it. Audi does. BMW does. Mercedes does. Even Honda mostly does.
Design by MTV insipired committee is not what a lot of us who would like a $30k alternative to a $40k+ 5-series want. It's not that hard to get clean lines, quality materials and attractive ergonomics. My 1995 Maxima had it for it's day. Nissan needs to clean house when it comes to their interior design group.
Why don't they pull some real people into these prototype review sessions so we can say "uh...do you realize that the interior looks like the plastic that was used on my 1977 Olds Omega?" And if they are using people from the public to give feedback, get some with taste!
I saw a story that Nissan is using customer input heavily on the new Titan pickup truck...maybe that will improve our concerns and make them see the light.
Mazda6, Passat, Accord, GP-CompG would be my guess. If I wanted a coupe I'd check out that new Solara, has a really nice almost Lexus'ish interior. Funky looking on the outside though.
I assume people in US usually get deeper discount while those in northern border don't.
Actually, a lot of the "new" Nissans sell like crazy around here. '02+ Altimas are probably the most common, and best selling sedan. Muranos are becoming quite popular, too, and I just saw a sparkling new loaded silver '04 Quest and about two weeks ago, and loved it. I can see them doing very well, and should start seeing tons of them soon, maybe even as many as the new '04 Toyota Siennas.
Just thought I'd add this little tidbit on Nissan popularity. The gorgeous styling of almost every model appears to be winning over the cheap interiors in some models, big time!
It still seems to me that among 4 door FWD sedans, the Maxima provides the best bang for the buck in terms of driving dynamics and performance. It's one of the few offered with a 6-speed. I'd keep my 1995 SE another 5 years before I'd go soft with a Camry Solara.
Perhaps Nissan's designers will read this thread and make some changes before it's too late.
