Don't think the Dealer would have these in stock but may still be able to order one if there are any left at the Regional warehouses. Your best bet is one being sold now on eBay. Not too much time left.

Nothing beats having the Factory Manuals. Got mine new in 1986 from the Dealer for $24. Sorry to say not many 2nd gens around anymore. Didn't see a single one when I was in L.A. for the weekend.

I haven't seen a single 2nd gen around here in at least 2 years, and I've never seen another wagon around.

I have one for an 87, Its used but it still has all the pages. I sold my 88 a year and a half ago so I have no need for it anymore. Ill post pics of it later. Also, I have a 2nd gen maxima DIY book that has pics and instructions on daily maintenance, replacing things like tranny fluid, oil changing, spark plugs, etc. I could find that too and let them both go for cheap. Ill let you all know just let me get them. I also have 4 set of factory 88 Maxima rims with tires that still have tread sitting in my moms garage. The guy who bought my 88 just wanted the aftermarket ones I had on it. I did have a drop-in K&N filter but my sister through it away along with some other stuff when cleaning out my moms garage. Im lucky my mom lets me use her garage for storing needs, lol.

I wish I wouldve kept my 88 though. It was the cleanest one around town, literally. I sold it with 216k miles for 1600. My father paid 2k for it in 99 with 99k miles from his boss so I made out real good with the sale but I miss it.
