Even a fully loaded Mustang is not exactly 'loaded.'
The Maxima will hold its value better, last longer, cost less to repair, and will be more salable when you are done with it.
The only reason to by the Mustang is to go fast, show off, and be a boy racer. That said the Maxima is certainly not a slow car.

The Nissan will certainly be a better daily driver. It rides nicer and is put together a lot better than the Mustangs. That being said, the Mustangs will handle better and the V8 models are faster. If this is a V6 Mustang, I would do the Maxima. A V6 Mustang is probably slower, and those dinky tires give it a doofy looking profile.
I would also look at this from an insurance profile. If you are under 25-30, the Mustang will cost you a hell of a lot more to insure.
Maxima:
-4 doors
-seat 4-5 comfortably
-better cruiser, daily car
-more reliable
-higher quality, more luxurious
-cheaper insurance
-cops will not notice nearly as much as they would a Mustang
-sweet V6
-better resale values
Mustang:
-circa 1979 frame wrapped around big V8
-fast
-good handling
-cheaper to fix, and you will be fixing it more often
-higher insurance
-cops pay extra special attention to you
-easy and cheap to modify/personalize
-reliability and refinement not strong suits
-Ford parts bin interior feel
-V6 is secretary's car - would not even consider it
It just depends on your needs. I prefer to fly under the radar myself. I would do the Mustang if it were a secondary vehicle/weekend cruiser. Else, the Maxima will probably suit your needs better. I would also look at maybe an older Lexus LS400/430 and an Infiniti Q45. Get decent handlers, luxury and V8's that will hold their own against a 94-98 Mustang.

Personally, I would go with the Mustang. A GT model if possible. They turn more heads than a Nissan Maxima, if that's what you want to do. Bottom line, it's a matter of your taste. Get what you want, you're the one that'll be seen driving it, you're the one that has to drive it. Get what you enjoy.
Go Mustang

when you're counting aftermarket too, through some distance the mustang. i have discovered the camaro has more beneficial problems with extra HP than the Mustang. watch for the 2011 mustang besides the undeniable fact that....5.0 is again and its gonna be a dominating beast of a vehicle. xD
