Description of car and stock photos
The car is a Pebble Beige 1997 Nissan Maxima SE with a 5 speed manual transmission and all black leather interior.
From the factory, the SE models are differentiated from other Maxima's mainly with stiffer rear springs, 5 spoke 16 inch alloys, white faced gauges, a different steering wheel, moonroof, body color grill surround and door handles, and a rear spoiler.

It's been great so far, it drives really nice and hauls butt! 190hp 205ft lbs of torque with a 5sp manual and only 2900-3100lbs of car to haul around flies compared to what I'm used to.
I bought it at roughly 172,000 miles mid April of 2008.
Here are some pics of it from right after I bought it:
In this pic you can see the difference in the headlights. The drivers side one I polished up with some polishing compound and then wax. The passengers side was just cleaned. The difference in haze in the headlight lenses is amazing isn't it?
