How many miles daily...
How many miles daily do we put on our max's.Or weekly.And how many miles are on the Max.
Reason I ask this cause I put 56 miles round trip 5 days a week with 232000 0n my clock right now.Been doing these trips for over 3 years with my MAX. Car is running great except for the double starts I have in the morning. So im moving this week now my distance will be 140 miles round trip mostly highway. I know these cars last. But with this milage to be driven could it handle it or should I hop on the bus. Would like to know what others do and any advive would be appreciated THANKS
P.S. Next stop Middletown,NY Anybody from out there.

I currently do about 300-600 miles of driving a week. I used to put about 80-100 miles a day before when I worked farther but now I've cut down. You should be fine IMO, especially if you do routine maintenance.

Highway miles are good for it though! I dont see why you would have problems as long as you keep up with regular oil changes, spark plugs, etc...
At this rate you'll have one of the highest-mileage 3rd gens around in no time. As for myself, I take Houston's new above-ground rail to work due to the great convenience of it, so the Maxima rests under a tree for most of the week.

This time last year I was driving about 75 miles round trip to and from work daily. Then usually another 50 or so after work. When I first bought the car it was more than that...Right now I just use it to get around town, so I have to take it on the backroads and play with it (what, you think I sunk all that $$$ into mods for commuter traffic?) Still like it best on road trips! I love the fact the tach doesn't hit 3 grand until well over 80mph...

hmm...
I think the last time my car left the garage was maybe the first week in May.
I did put on a few hundred miles in April, but I didn't drive it Jan-mid April.
I think I am averaging maybe 5 miles a day, but most of those are on two trips to Eugene and Warm Springs, Oregon.

Good info here Besides the beef with MYGREENMAX94 and X91MAXI Just went to 233000 this week. I know once I do the right thing with the MAX ( tune ups all that good stuff) I think i'll be alright. I understand things are gonna happen. I brought my car with 185000. Had its problems but comes with a car thats about 19 years. Time will tell. The big test will start June 9th.

No, well kind of, i live within walking distance to where i work. Also, i just start driving enjoying it again a little over a month ago. It had been in the garage for two years. I had been driving my Discovery I around, great truck but it only give you 14-15 mpg if you are easy on it. i also, had a Infiniti J30 (great car with bad seat) that i drove around in that time (which is already sold).
Which mean modding time for is the max is back on, baby!!
Next mod, subframe connector, should be here soon.
