Maybe. My Maxima is broken again and my dad and I are starting to get tired of dumping thousands and thousands of dollars into in so often. It gets taken to the shop this week, and if it's an expensive repair.. I'll begin my search on 4th gens.

Your own money? Fen and I could have warned you about the Nissan

Lt1, Ls1, or 6cyl?
Auto, 5,6 speed?

Not all my own. My dad pays most of the repairs, but I still pitch in when I can. I don't have a job, so I usually use my birthday money on my car. The Nissan's been great. I really hope I don't have to sell her, even if it's for a 4th gen.

And if I did get one, it'd be a base model Auto.

Thousand and thousands of dollars doesn't seem great

Careful, try to get 2002 and lowest miles you can afford. Go for a 5 speed, make it interesting.

I won't be getting a 2002. No offense to Derek and Lee, but I don't think the late 4th gens look good at all. I don't wanna be driving around a catfish on wheels.

I would love a 1994.

Firebird?


Uh........ I would think with something that old you could just be getting into another problem car.

Fen talked me out of that.

Yeah. You're probably right. But it would be all I could afford. Plus, it would end up pushing back my 5th gen purchase.

I hope I get to keep the Maxima.

I like the late Firebird's better than the Camaro's. Just be careful if you have to buy something, inspect ridiculously and don't buy the first you see.
I wish this was made.
