Tell us how many miles are on your 1st and 2nd generation cars out there?

 

Mine is a 2 owner, with a Car Fax report, and now has 173,000 on the clock.
See the car at the location below, it's an '84, last year rear wheel drive, 2.4 OHC I-6

My family drove a 2nd gen to 274 but I think even that was premature. An engine swap and it could have ran for a bit longer.

 

Well my 2ng gen has 178,838 right now. Carfax reported it's been in 1 accidentwith the first owner. I'm the second. I bought it for $500 3 years ago and I still love every drive in it.

 

176k 2nd owner

abused for the first 20 so years

 

253k third owner , Almost done engine swap to a 150k engine.

 

213k on my 2nd gen before selling it.

 

haha i think i might own the highest mileage 2nd gen on this website...

 

294k before selling it a few weeks ago

 

Carson ftw!

 

Gee guys, you make me feel as if I'm driving a NEW car, only 117K on my 1984 Maxima sedan.

 

I ran a 16.3 w/ ~270k on the clock

 

lol, u think thats new, try driving a 2nd gen with only 40,000 miles on the engine (used Japanese engine of course, the other one crapped out at about 150K)

 

290k on dads maxima (sold)
415k on my max

 

166K miles on a 1990. It's my GF's 2nd gen SE. I kinda like it as a daily driver. Too bad the GF is keeping from spending too much on the HER car.

 

Just rolled over to 224k on the white 87 auto, Drive it everyday
Sarins old car has 213 on the odometer *I think*

These things just dont quit

 

178,550 Mi...no reccorded wrecks but i did fond out my driver door is filled with bondo, looks like some one got the door in something minor and took it to a crappy auto repair shop.

was gonna buy another door from a yard how ever, 1 yeard closed down, the other got rid of all their 2nd gens....3rd gen with reverse glow guages is in its place

 

Hey my 87 Max has 320,800 kms on it and runs like new car,and I picked it up for $400.00.All I've had to do was replace lower contrlo arm bushings and a small piece of power steering return hose. So far the car has cost less than $200.00 in parts.

 

177k miles, and if [U]I[U] stop messing with it itll last muuuuch longer

Well its a 1983, runs great

 

'87 w/65K miles. 2nd owner

 

1984 with 235,000 miles

Did high 15s after I added a turbo but retained stock horrible muffler and exhaust system.

Car is a lot lighter than it looks and I am now thinking it will be a monster street sleeper if given a little diet.

 

213,000 on one (non-moonroof)
190,000something on the other (moonroof+wheels)

presently both sitting in the driveway, running only when gas is poured down their throats.
But, they were free, and I've only had them for a few weeks, with no extra income.

 

1984 Max with 335,xxx on original engine and trans. Hasn't really been driven in the past four years until a couple of months ago.

 

155K babied until i got it at 112K

 

Mine has 132k. 88 Maxima SE. 5 speed.

 

still breaking in that 88 eh?

 

I'm the original owner of a Light Pewter '87 Max SE 5 speed. 190,000 miles on the car with the original clutch. The last set of Michelins lasted 100,00 miles. The car stays garaged at home or at work so the paint is very nice. Awesome car

I also have an '01 SE 20th automatic with 85,000 miles.

 

I am the second owner of an 83 Max diesel with 213,000. Runs great, handles great. Love it to death!

131k mile on my 2nd maxima, salvaged car front impact.

 

I have a '87 se with 211,000

 

My Max has 237000 & cruising...
But, it has electrical problems.
I change the alternator every other year.
The door locks work only intermittenly.
If I don't change the alt regularly, the battery goes dead.
I've been told that I may have a short somewhere, but am afraid or don't know where to begin...
I do not do my own repairs, but can generally follow tech talk.
You know the old routine, re: wasting money on an old car & who best to rely on to diagnose the prob?
BTW, I live in Nyack, NY, some 25 miles NW of NYC.
Thanks for all your help.
I love my Maxima!!

 

Just curious, what year is your Max? How many alternators have you changed? You may be getting junk alts that have a bad rebuild & a short life. Do they all last about the same time before they go bad? When the door locks don't work, does all 4 not work together? My 83 locks all 4 when you push down the drivers door lock, or lock the drivers door with the key. How about the power unlock button?

Sounds like you will find the negative battery cable to have corroded inside the insulation with nothing more than a slight bulging to indicate what really is wrong.

Check the cable where it bolts to the bottom of the battery tray.

 

i had a 82 that had 97k and i had a 88 with 116k... my third gens were a different story

 

88 Max with 133k.

 

just bought an 88 with 120,000 on it, but the speedometer dosent work all the time, so could be higher

Sorry, have to post ***** so that I can get some advice on my speedometer problem. Just bought a 88 maxima

 

127,300.0 Exactly too bad the trans crapped out... Currently fixing that at the same speed as molassas going up hill in January. I am replaceing the timeing belt, water pump, thermostat, vacume hoses.... while the engine is out.

 

252K Till the trany died and the parents executed.

 

'89 with 189K - third owner but on it's third teenage driver since I have owned. Wonder how long it can keep it up?
