It wasn't an easy decision since I liked my 99 Maxima so much, but the offer of 65 more hp, along with the 6-speed, Nav and helical limited slip differential was enough to persuade me to trade in my '99 for the 2002.  I ordered the car on November 7, 2001 and it was delivered to the dealership on February 13, 2002.  I took delivery on February 16th.
