I think I may have the record....

*1997 SE with 95,450 miles*

TOTAL Unscheduled Repair Costs to Date Since New:

$37: Replace Oil Sending Unit

Not a single rattle or creek either.

Anyone beat that?

Damn, I love Maximas...

p.s. Yes, I just knocked on wood.

I've takin it from the east coast to the west coast a few times...and not ashamed to admit that I've taken the long cut home many times just for the simple pleasure of driving.

I've got 157,000 miles on my 96 GXE Auto. My repairs? One left front axle bearing, one temp sensor, one headlight bulb. Less than $400 worth of repairs. I'd be surprised if there was another car that could be so much fun to drive, be so elegant, be so economical, be so durable, and so comfortable, for the price that you pay. No German car can touch it.

Funny how Volkswagon says "Drivers wanted." While they're stil looking, Nissan is "Driven."

Does regular maintenance count?
Spark plugs? Fuel Filter, Oil changes, battery, fuse, tires, brakes, etc?
If not, my other stock 1999 Maxima with 65K & *touch wood* no repairs.

97 I30: 78k miles. Ive only paid for routine service on my car. Also I broke a spark plug in the engine so I had to pay a dealer to get that out, so thats the only repair.
