I bought a 2003 GLE 12 months ago, I think it's a Titanium edition,
can't find the paperwork. Sunroof, heated leather seats, climate
control, etc. It does not have Navigation. Had 45k miles on the clock,
and therefore 15k miles of warranty. Paid $16,200.

Looked at cars with Navigation and read up about it. Seems like a fun
feature to have but also have to buy the CDROMs and updates for the
areas you want to travel.

I bought my 2003 Maxima after having had a 93GXE for 5years. I read
all the reviews and asked advice on this news group. All were
positive. Nissan Tech, a long time poster and Nissan technichian said
the care was "near bullet proof".

Am well pleased with the car. Lot's of power, looks good (Sterling
Mist), handles well. I'm not a fan of leather seats, too hot in
Summer, but wife likes heated seats in Winter.

Price seems good, but that will vary with area of the country. Cars
are expensive where I am, DC Metro area.

Hope this helps,
Al Moodie.

I wouldn't worry about miles if it's been taken care of. Do change the
transmission fluid when/if you pick it up. Be aware that some 3.5s have
oil consumption problems. Lots of info at www.maxima.org

I have a 2003 SE max, 6 speed manual trans, titanium edition plus everything
but the leather package, I bought it used about 2.5 years ago. Its been a
great car, almost trouble free other than normal maintenance. If you have
the 17 inch wheels, the tires can be very expensive to replace, I paid 147
each a year ago and I bought mid-price tires online from tire rack. Another
minor problem these cars had with some of the Bose six cd changer systems,
the left channel on the cd (not the radio or cassette) would intermittently
go out, an expensive repair I didn't have done, I'm using an mp3 player
through the cassette player for music. Otherwise great car, superb engine.
