15th Anniversary - Page 2

I inherited a ruby pearl car just like the OP's from my mom, who bought it late 1994. Its a 95 se. She only had 59,000 miles on it when I got it from her. Interior is near mint shape besides some cuts underneath the drivers seat where I installed an amp for awhile. Exterior has about the typical amount of dings and scrapes of a car that age.

Thanks, def. I was disappointed that year that the only 2 colors the leather came in were beige (way too light for me) or charcoal (way to dark). But I was pleasantly surprised when the dealer pulled out all those leather swatches in tons of colors, and said I could get whatever color I wanted. I took a chance on the medium gray, thinking it would look good with the black. I ended up especially liking the way it sets off the dark carpeting and black door panels.

My first choice in exterior color 15 years ago was actually the dark (emerald maybe?) green, but they located the red one first. I think had I gotten the green SE, I would have done the same thing with the gray leather.

Ah yes that dark green that looks black in certain lights. My Max is in that color but with a beige Cloth interior. To me the emerald green and beige (cloth or leather) go together sorta like green and gold.

If I had a decent camera I would show you.
Eventually I want too switch to Leather seats but the door panels can stay cloth.

1995 GLE, Pebble Beige, bought new in Oct 1994. 157K miles today. I can't believe it's been 15 years. Yet put in the key and drive it anywhere with no worries.

Got you by ONE month! (or possibly just a few days since I got mine in late Sept.) I do remember the dealers didn't have too many of them at that time - especially the 5 speeds.

Buying a brand new car is an amazing fealing and knowing that your going to have it for the next 10-15 years is all the sweeter.

Got any more interior pics of it nafddur ?

These have got to be some of the most reliable cars ever made.

I'm gonna check my door sticker later today for my manufacturing date. It wasn't purchased brand new however. It was a few months into 95 as a bank repo.

219k miles on mind.

I've only had my 04 Murano SE 5 years (bought it new in 10/04). It still looks, feels and even smells almost new! Hope that one lasts as long as the ole Max.

As for the interior, I posted FIVE pics somewhere in this thread. What the F did I miss? Pretty sure you can see everything in there (except for the trunk, maybe? That looks pretty clean too)
