I'm a newbie to Maxima.org. I just bought a 97 SE. A buddy of mine just had the engine blow up in his 94 SE. He's willing to sell be the body of the car for a very decent price. Do you know where I could get a good deal on an engine (used/or re-built) ?

 

check www.car-part.com for stuff nearest you.. (you'll need the VE30DE DOHC engine if you didn't know that already.)
this is simply a salvage yard listing system.. there may be other salvage yards near you with stuff not listed, so a walk through the yellow pages is always a good check too.

welcome and good luck!
