I am on the lookout for a low mileage 6 speed 5.5 gen.

Unless Nissan puts a proper 6 speed in the 7th gen Maxima, my next car will probably be a 6 speed VQ35 Altima coupe instead.


I got my 02 SE 6spd in dallas 2 years ago. had to search about a month for it. good luck man, but it's gonna be hard to find a 5.5 gen under 80K miles.


Iactually drove the new 09 maxima a few days back. BEAUTIFUL CAR...but the CVT takes nearly all the funn out of it. and is extremely odd. gunned it pretty hard and it just HELD at about 3,500 rpms. i was like " whoooaaa sales guy, am i breakin this $hit?" no thanks nissan. but keep the g37 coupes and altimas with manual and i'm happy in the future
