I am this close to make up my mind about buying a 97 Maxima before another

I konw it's hard to call. The 97 drives almost flawlessly but the 95 does not shift quite as smooth under hard acceleration. After thinking throught it much, I gather that if I were to bring the 95 to the 97 level in terms of performance, it'll probably cost me anywhere $1000 to $2000 (95 needs new tires right away and the 97 has good tires).

That trims the saving to about $5500 and I have a car that's 2 years and 110K KM older. Doesn't seem like much of a saving to me, does it?

So I'll most likely go with the 97 unless I receive some revealation in my dream tonight.
