PLEASE help...to buy or not to buy 99 maxima
hello...
I was thinking of buying this 99 maxima SE that i saw..it had the service engine light on. ..when i took it to maxima dealer for a chekup b4 buying, they said there was a problem with the knock sensor and oxygen sensor and said it wud cost $300CAD for ks and $200 CAD for the o2 sensor to replace them. However, after they reset the service engine light, it didnt come back on when i drove around for a while.....now im thinking is the problem fixed or will it come back.....I really dont wannaa buy a car and pay that much already to get things fixed.....ne suggestions????

when you reset the ecu without fixing the problem the code will come back after a few hundred miles. get the car if you like it, just offer them less to compensate for the repairs you need to make.
good luck
