I've had mine for 2 years
 

sheesh I never expected to keep the car this long.
I bought it 2 years ago to sell it (actually had it sold too)
then I drove it while my cherokee went in for some work.
needless to say the cherokee is long gone, I've moved twice replaced my wifes van and trans.
But I've still got the max. the only other cars I've had for this long that I wasn't making payments on were/are:
91 blazer (dead now, just left 2 weeks ago from my brothers custody after having it for nearly 5 years)
79 Camaro (still have it, less than 80k original on it. had it since 96. Longer than my wife)

I bought the max with I think 120k on it or so, now I'm up to 133k :igor&donk

of course it won't get much more mileage once I fix that stupid economy car in the garage (96 integra)

just thought I'd share (ok, really pull a shawn :lol: )

I have had my '91 for ~4.5 years / ~75,000 miles. The '92 has been around for 1.5 months and 3,000 miles. :D

I'm going onto 3 years now. Bought at 136,000 now at 177,777.

Moved from vt to ga, and made the 5 rounds trips so far. One non-stop to San Fransico and back to Ga.

Before that.

I drove a 90 accord into the ground.
Same with a 91 probe and a 92 mustang.

almost 2 years on the White VE, maybe 7k on it
150miles on the black VE, about 9 months on it
Old Black VE 5spd about 5 minths, 4k
mustang, just over 2 and a half years, maybe 50 miles on it.

My first car. Got it as a present 2 years ago at 84K. Now at 119K and still not sure if I want a VE yet ;)

bought my 91 max from an auction in '98 with 90,xxx on it. now in '05 and i have 226,xxx on it. she's out lasted a integra i bought in '02. oil burning pieces of crap.

You do !

I was hoping to go all out with bolt ons first :Party:

na

just buy a VE, will cost less in the long run

But you would still be slower than a stock VE.

I had the same thinking until I actually bought a VE. Once I did, I felt enlightened, lol. MUCH bigger difference.

My GXE hasn't been rolling miles fully, but I bought it with 82k 4 years ago and now it shows 102k. The VE lasted all of about 3 months and 2.5k before she died.

i've had my '93 since christmas of '99 with 154k miles on it. now at 256k miles with no motor but will be gettin' the new one swapped it with only 105k miles on it.

my '89 had it since Feb. '05 with 180k miles on it. crankshaft snout broke off and swapped in my '93 motor into it with new maintenance parts and is back on the road while i keep updatin' my '93.

My first car and now it is nearing the time to move on and keep it as a true beater or drop some serious cash in it.

So once and for all let me get this straight...

VG 5spd with all bolt ons, and other small little enhancements here and there.

V.S.

VE Auto Bone stock

Who?

I have had mine for 8 years, it had 120k and now it has 296k.

VG will win

but why would you buy an Auto VE :ugh:

:) Ok then, bone stock VE 5spd then? Still super VG?

:lol: not likely

I wouldn't know. I have a VE 5spd and I guarantee it would crush a VG 5spd with all the bolt ons. Ask Aaron. He is the VE auto guru.

Because it was cheap, fast, and more fun than the cherokee.
also sticks are not practical in the city

My Mom has been driving a 5spd to down town seattle every day for the past 7 years. You are a little girl :o

dam thats good

chicago > seattle :rollsmile

Landlocked, crime rate, dirty. Nope.

Landlocked? WTH is lake michigan then?
Crime rate? not where I live. though go south side and that's a whole nother story
Dirty? see above

of course we also have the sears tower, the john hancock building, we used to have an airport down town. we have an elected monarch for mayor. we're the anchor for one hella large megalopolis.

What would you guys call New York then? :nervous:

He|| on earth ? :gotme:

dmontzsta.....296k? for real? very cool.

I have had my Red VE 5-speed for 2.5 years now. I have only put on about 4k miles on it in that time. It had 148k when I bought it and now it has 152k. In a way, I want another Mustang GT, but since we get a fair amount of snow here in the winter, I am going to keep the Max a while.

My first 92 VE 5-speed (pebble beige, gold, whatever that color is) I bought in the spring of 95 with 60k on it. I drove it until the summer of 97 and when I traded it in, it had 160k on it. :eek:

I really liked my first one, but I used it for work and I was a bit worried about things breaking down. I was driving frequently to eastern Washington from southwest Washington and there is a lot of nothing out there. Plus, my boss was threatening to take my gas card away, since I always used premium in the Max. I traded it in for a 95 200sx SE with 10k miles. That car got 40 mpg on the highway, but it sucked bad in the snow.

Damn right. Can't wait to get the hell outa here.

ive had my 92 for 3.5 years / 50k

had my/parents GXE for 12years to this month. Happy Anniversary baby. 116k Will have it for another 4 years probably.

Had my Max since 2001 purchased from my brother with 110000 miles on it. Now has 171000 on it, boosted 1500 miles ago and running strong. Drive to Pheonix from chicago and back a couple times a year.

My first one i bought in 95 with 45,000 on it. I retired it in 02 with close to 400,000(I only retired it after they stole the stereo) In between and before I have owned many cars and never got rid of my maxima. I Had brand new cars and still preferred my max. I even preffered it over a 4th gen. My 2nd one I bought in 02(89 se) took tranny(which I rebuilt myself) out of 92 and put in 89 sold to sister still running strong. My 3rd one is a 92 I bought for 200 dollars with 190k about 2 or 3 months ago. Car runs like new clean as a whistle inside. I will run it until it stops. If you treat them right these cars are unstoppable.

91SE, Auto. Purchased June 96, for... (gulp) $10,000k -- and that was a deal at the time!!
It's been 10 really good years with this puppy, and as we speak it is in the shop having a full paint job, brand new rims with shoes waiting to go on when it is ready. My unborn children are already rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

89 Se 222,600 Miles Awsome Car

94 VE 5sp. 4yrs. 282,000 miles. / 92 VE 5sp. parts car...3 days...thanks mtnbikeair.


:king2:

I've had mine for a little over 3 years now, and I've put nearly 30K miles on it. I bought it with 37K miles. I dunno, I'm starting to wonder why I have put as much time and money into it as I have. In the end, it's still a FWD car that isn't meant to put out that much power, as it demonstrated to me. I'll need new tires at least in order to drive it in the winter, so it's losing some of it's usefulness. I just don't know what to do with it, I thought I'd never sell it, but if the right offer came along....

I picked up my 92 GXE in the summer of 2001 for $5,500 with 49,000 miles on it. One owner and the guy gave me all of the original paperwork from like 1992 when the car sold for about $20,000. She has 130,000 miles on her and most of that is back and forth from school.

Wasn't it more like $28K?
