well my mom was reading the paper this morning, and she called me over she found this article on our maximas basically calling them worthless.

POST # 6 are updated pics

 

couldn't read that with one of these

 

HAHA true

 

So what does the article say?? dont leave us hanging...

 

re-scan please.

 

you must turn your heads guys...it would have been too long for the page.




IF YOU STILL CANNOT READ......save the pic and open it up.....then zoom in

 

my neck hurts

 

LOL sorry man..........turn your monitor on its side.....or lay down on the floor and read it..LOL

 

That's not a piece of junk, that's a completely UN-MAINTAINED CAR!!!
any car that someone just puts gas in and drives will wind up like that. I bet the thing was lucky to get an oil change, and screw routine maintenance and washing..
it probably got a monthly drive-through car wash as one of the $3.00 add-ons at the filling station, and that's only if they were feeling lucky.
I bet these same people also had a handfull of Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Infiniti, and any other well-built name that you can think of in the same shape.

that's simply what happens when you NEVER open the hood on your car.

and I'll also bet my lunch money that airbag is still working just fine, assuming some jiffy lube grease monkey didnt' damage the wiring or sensors when it was getting its annual oil change... wanna find out? give me 10 min and my bag of tools.. (or just start the car, sit in the driver's seat and I'll whack the impact sensor with a BFH. )

 

^ yeah, what he said.

I am sure they would be giddy to find a car like mine for $2500. Always garaged, always maintained, washed and waxed regularly. It's not the car, it's the owner.

I can't remember our cars being referred to as a "Minima" very often, either. Especially when compared to the fwd sedans of the day, like the Accord, Camry, Taurus (non-SHO), 626, Lumina, etc. From all of the magazines I have read, the Maxima was the cream of the crop.

 

and I always thought that the minima designation is used for the 4th gen, since they were made when nissan was about to close its doors, hence, lots of stuff went cheap whenever and where-ever.

 

The courier post sucks anyway...

 

Basically what I bought when I picked up my 3rd gen for $1k. Paint is shot to hell, engine sounded like a VW bug, and needed $800 in work to pass inspection. 2 years later and $2,500 later in parts, car runs better than my Buick with half the miles.

 

for such a "minimal" car i get more compliments with my car under construction than some of my friends with WAY more done on their cars and truck. what a idiotic thing for someone to say because someone is TOO STUPID to up keep there ride. is all i have to say to that artical. i don't know about anyone else but i haven't met anyone that don't like the 3rd gen Max
