After all the research and driving I've been doing I seriously think I'll keep this car another 8-10 years. At the track today (1st time) and ran a 15.3. I was so hype, I thought may brake 16s. I have a y-pipe but I think I badly need a tune up cuz I'm starting to bog down at first when I hit the gas. I'm changing the fuel filter & plugs tomorrow so I think I could do even better. And now I know when my clutch goes years from now, I'll be happy to get a ACT clutch, and when my tranny goes, I'll just get an I30 LSD tranny. The car would be better then before! Sorry I'm rambling but I'm really liking my new car, now if I could just get my damn intake from teamslumrise

 

Oh and I have a '99 Sterling Mist SE 5-speed w/49000 miles.

 

Man im 16..this max I have now is my first car . ..new engine eventually ..new tranny eventually a new paint job when needed.. Ill keep my Max till im at least 25

I just ran an 88 corolla into the ground - and that was a sh*t car. I can only imagine how long I'll keep my max

 

I'll probably keep till repairs will be as much as a new car....

 

I was just at skylinegtr.com and after I win the lottery, I am going to get one of those Seriously though, yeah I love my ride I will probably have it for at least another 5 years(I wan't to get a new one some time. I think I will always own a max though just for my love of the car.

 

Last few years before it was wrecked it was still a runner, but it was by then getting REAL long in the tooth... Real slow-*** power windows, slight bit of rust here and there, rubber was dryrotting and "washing off" on the chamois, rain water sneaking into the trunk from the dry-shrunk weather seals, the surfaces of the door and window switches were worn off, a few radio buttons had fallen off... but I could still haul 4 - 5 people in comfort - if not style.

I can attest that a Maxi is definately capable of going 13+ years/140K+ miles.

 

I'm keeping my MAX for a while, I'm getting the a new engine install on it

 

I'm gonna keep mine til 300k at least. I got mine brand new and I've got 120k now. Never had a single problem.

Who knows. When I hit 300k, I could just buy a used 4th gen engine for $500 and drive another 300K.

 

Damn your talkin about 20 years

 

Then you can get the Antique plates.

well no one wants a 5 speed GLE so i will b keeping mine for a VERY LONG TIME...when i get my BMW 540 in 3-4 years, i'll keep this maxima as my far traveling car....

 

i dont have my 4th gen SE YET.. however, when i get it i'll be keeping it for 3-4 years... then when my insurance rates go cheap again i'll be getting a REAL sports car.. porsche 996 TT .. yummmy

 

I plan on keeping mine between 8-10 years. I have only 30k miles so I'm hoping I can get there without a single problem. If I make enough money I want to keep my Max after I buy my next car.

 

i plan on kepping my max until it dies it has about 79k on it now and its a 95 (pretty good if you ask me). when it does finally die i plan on either getting a new one (whatever gen that would be) or stay in the Nissan camp and go GTR (Motorex is the ****). i figure since my car is payed for i can save the money i need over the next however many years so that the gtr could be a reality. so how long will i keep it? at least till 150k or like someone else said, untill the repairs cost more than the car is worth.

 

i think i'll be keeping my max for a long time...maybe close to 10yrs...or until it dies

 

for as long as she will last!!!!

 

i plan on keeping my '95 with 80k at least until i am through with school. i will be a soph this fall and will take at least 7 semesters to get my undergrad in ECE and then will go to grad school since my job will double my salary and pay for 1/2 of tuition . so i am looking at another 5-8 years with my max and i really believe that a max can go strong for 15 years (but i dont want to jinx it either )

 

i am keeping it for a long time

 

with all the $ thrown into this car, I better have it til she hits 200K miles (currently at 71K)

 

Yeah me too the only problem is i already have 168000 miles on it so i only have a little over 30k to go oh well ill keep it for as long as it will run.
