Dear Netters and Maxima lovers

I almost at th verge of trading in my 2002 GLE for a 2005 SL (smoke
exterior, black leather). The dealer told me it is "base model SL" (for
some $500/per month for 60months)

My questions are:

What is a base model SL?

What features does it have?

Should I take it?

Is this a good offer?

Do all 2004-2005 Maximas come with skyview or not?

Is there a downside to having a skyview or not?

I appreciate any infor or advice.

Thanks all..

BJOg

For about $5,000 less, you can get an Infiniti I-35 fully loaded with sojurn
leather and bose sound system

Do not get the skyview as there have been problems with the glass
cracking. You can get a normal sunroof that works fine. Something
about the skyview that has allowed body flex to cause the glass to
break... Also, check the paint as these cars are made in the US and
have issues with paint being damaged by the line workers and their
jewlery. Seems that they scrape the paint up building the car. Nissan
sent 200 engineers over from Japan to fix the problem so if you buy a
new one the problem should be fixed.

The same goes for the skyview, those were early build '04s only due to the
glass not being tempered correctly.

That said, I agree with the other poster and go look at Infiniti I35s.
You'll get better dealer service, in addition to getting more bang for the
buck.

A friend of mine did similar. He's on a 10-year cycle, so he got rid of his
'94 and bought an '04 G35. A little more pricy but better options/service.
