What is the difference between the TE and the reg one? That is what i dont know, If it also makes a difference to which i would only want the TE then i will only look at 03's if its something i can live without, then i will focus on both 02 and 03's, also considering that I most likely will be getting the motor pulled out rebuilt and turbo, just wanting to weight out my options.

Good deal?

My friend just picked up a 2001 GXE 5-spd, black w/ black interior, SE taillights, OEM Spoiler, OEM foglights, aftermarket Black leather with 106k miles for $6500. It's in pretty good shape, not really any door dings or anything. Good deal or not?

depending on where you live, that might be a good deal or not so good. too many variables involved to come up with a somewhat good answer (if there's such a thing for such a question).

I thought it was a decent deal. It is really clean. He bought it in Dallas over the weekend. Here is a link to the craigslist add he found it on: http://dallas.craigslist.org/car/653123575.html

look for things as you would any other car... its not superman you know.. it's just a maxima. also you should take it to a mechanic and let them check it out... their judgment should be better than any of ours.

carfax helps, if you know about body work .. looking for welds.. listen to the gears and smell around if any fluid is burning or if anything is burning in that case. drive it slow, medium, fast..

check the air filter!!! if the person hasnt changed that and its dirty to all hell... need i say more.. carelessness. listen for knocking..

basically anything you can look for that will cause the price to drop really..

........................moo..........
