Hmm, call me spoiled, but I'd take the Ferrari

Well, a response like this was inevitable on a board that is most likely populated mainly by adults…trust me – I’ve been overly compromising about the whole situation. It’s been going on since January. He started out saying I could get a “mid-sized” car and then it seemed every choice I made got shot down. I could give a long list on why it’s been a frustrating experience but I’ll just ask that you trust me…lol


haha - Well I must admit that sounds more like the kind of advice my friend would give me (who also says he is going to "move out" at 17). Honestly though I see where you're coming from. I don't know....my parents still have jurisdiction over me for now so even if I had the money I can't see them "letting" me spend it on what I wanted. Like I said...they are safeness FREAKS...that's what this whole thing is about. It's amazing; I've never seen anyone care more about safeness on a car than anything else...I'd much rather drive a car that gets 4 stars in crash that looks good than a 5 star car that doesn't. With them, it's the opposite.

Plus, I don't have a job. I've only had my license since January, and my school year is pretty stressed to the max with honors/AP classes & four sports. Next year through I'm planning on dropping two of them and getting a job to help make payments IF I get something I somewhat like. I'm also selling my 2 year old ATV which will bring about $4000...and I already sold my older one which I got $1000 for.

Anyway, I talked directly to the owner of the car for the first time today. She said as far as she knows it hasn't had its latest due service (is it at 90k or 100k?)

I said well if that's the case then I hope the $18K was her starting price, but she made it clear that she was not budging...

She said it was cool though, she didn't "have" to sell it. ahh

Yea I admit it's kinda strange for someone entering college to be looking at a car like this...I mean all my friends drive around their Hondas or Integras with their fart pipes and stuff and I'm looking at a Lexus.

But it is like the prettiest 4 door car I've seen...especially with some of the kits they make. Everytime I come on here and see bluelex's sig I can't take my eyes off it for a few secs...

Thanks for all the replies.

Auto Carrier company will transport your ride accross country for a reasonable fee... do a search on ebay as well. Most place who sells cars on ebay have their own transport connection. ($500) ???

How about the 95-99 Maximas? They look decent, are pretty reliable, not expensive to maintain and look great when modified right.

What model? I have a 98 Maxima GXE, base model. It has 101K right now and still clocking.... Great car, love the jump kick on that V6 engine.... I still drive it along with my GS300.... You're right, the Maxima is a very good car... not in the same cat. as Lexus, but the price will make almost every parents smile when it comes to paying for it.

Do you know any good site for Nissan's Club? Sites for Nissan Mod???? Since, my 17 yrs old brother is taking over the Maxima and I want to help him to mod his car, but i can't find any good site for Nissan like CL's Help!

I have a 03 Maxima so recommended a newer fifth gen Maxima but Limit isn't interested. A couple of Nissan websites that I visited are Maxima.org and nissanperformancemag.com.

hey i uderstand u completely, if its the car u really want than u should make every effort 2 get what u want, if she won't come down on the price than wait her out give her u'r info and she'll call sooner or later , in the meantime i would keep looking while u'r at it 2 c if u could an equal or better deal. look around autotrader and if u have 2 drive a couple of hrs in eigther direction do it on a weekend. what ever it takes 2 get what u really want i say. good luck and thanx 4 the compliment b4...
