As a new member I just wanted to introduce myself and my new ride. I just bought a 1998 Maxima SE 5spd in Super Black with Bose CD/cass at a dealer for $10,500. The car has 54k miles and the previous owner did the following mods:

Stillen Intake - K&N filter
Warpspeed Y-Pipe & hiflo CAT
Apexi WS CATback exhaust
B&G Coils 1.6" lowering
KYB GR2 struts
Freedom Designs FSTB

I talked to the previous owner for some background on the car. He used Moblie 1 synthetic oil since he had it (which I didn't think you could run synth until around 50-60k miles) and kept the car in excellent conditon.

Just curious if this was a good deal overall? I'm kinda new to the import tuner scene, due to my "American Muscle" upbringing. After all the reading I've been doing the last few days, it seems like the 98 5spd with miles that low is a good find.

 

Thats a very good find. Enjoy. I think it's a good deal. Welcome and Happy Modding

 

Very nice car. Already an impressive list of mods there but theres always more to do haha.

Welcome to the org!

 

Welcome! I got my 98 Maxima blk on blk fully loaded 5spd for $9500 from some old lady. Mine had a lot more miles at 81k. Thats a nice find, sounds like it was taken care of and you already have some nice mods.

 

Hey good find and welcome to the boards

 

Welcome to the org man. I guarantee that you will fall in love with the maxima, and see its real potential. Very impressive list of mods so far and look forward to seeing it grow. Welcome!

 

Way to go man. Welcome to the org. That is a very nice find. What would make it even nicer is if you told us what color interior it has. Either way that is awesome. Let the modding begin, eerrr I guess I should say, Let the modding continue.

 

Sounds like a reasonable deal. I just bought my '99 Maxima GXE 5-speed with 96K (that's right) and no options besides the rear spoiler two weeks ago for $7000 (before taxes and licensing fees). If I could afford a lower mileage car, like the one you found, I'd buy it. If your car runs well I'd be happy with that purchase.

 

looks like ur car is pretty fast once you got it from the dealer. i think that u got a good deal since you bought it from a dealer. i got a 98 5speed with 79k on the od and i only paid $4900 and my car was very clean.
welcome to the org!
