I love the 5th gen. The body style is beautiful. I would recommend getting a 2002 or 2003, since you will get the extra .5 liters and 40+ HP.

The early 5th gen SEs are my favorite of all 5th gens as far as looks go. The black on black on black is HOT.

^exactly. The 20th are really nice and all but most people don't know is the only realy differences are the pedals, The black trim lights, Shift knob, Door jam step pads and Silk leather and etc... but it is the as the VQ30 with the VAI... so it is really the same thing as Beans car stock besides those nice add-ons and the supposed 5HP increase. I would go for a 2002 with the 3.5 engine imo...

10k for 89k is not a bad price for that car though... Seems a bit lower than it should be for an AE... so I would jump on that...

No, it's a 5 HP increase, which can easily be the difference between any 2 3.0 Maximas.

well, i have a few reasons for this car above the others:

the bumper is a little diff from the non 20th ed.the headlights already have the black trim on the inside.of course the black tails (better than chrome anyday)black on black is pimpand IMO the best (in looks) are 4th and early 5th gens

like i said before, my hopes are that i can find a deal like this when i get the chance to buy one.

I paid $11500 for my 20th A/E with 92k miles on it. That car your looking at is a deal or a steal, how ever you want to look at it. The 5 extra ponies is not realy felt but the little extras make up in styling.
