I have a '95 max gle with only 56k miles on it and luv it. Half city / Half highway. Been relatively troublefree. Anyone have over 100k miles on it? Experience major repairs so far?

i got a 95 GLE and at 78k i got a new starter because i notice problems and this summer i'm probably going to get a whole new exhaust system because i notice some rust, that will cost around 350, in the winter it's more expensive. i still get great mileage. i have no problems with the engine or tranny. after i get a new exhaust my car will be trouble free.

I've got 97,000 miles on my 95 SE and intend to log 200,000 miles on it. The only non-routine maintenance/repair items were an 0-2 sensor (warranty repair), the starter at 80,000 ($450.00) and the left rear window regulator at 92,000 ($250.00). The 95 starter was prone to problems and Nissan has since upgraded the part. Other than replacing the usual preventative maintenance/wear n' tear items (hoses, belts, filters, brake pads and rotors, battery, struts, shocks, and cv boots), the Maxima has one of the highest "reliability" ratings as a used vehicle from Consumer Reports. The engines run forever. I've heard of drivers logging over 200,000 highway miles on these cars.

I got my car used. I just bought it in March. They guy took really good car of the car. He had a very long commute and drove his car everywhere. No major problems here. I intend to go to 300,000!!!!!

My Maxima has 141,101 miles on it (just went and checked). The engine still runs very well. I usually read the road kills that people post that have the same mods as I do. My car is very similiar in acceleration to those. Raced a GTP yesterday and he was just barely inching forward and that's a brand new car! The guy asked me if it was supercharged. Probably because of the slight hiss of the y-pipe. Actually I've been asked that a couple times. Major maintenance includes a new starter, used transmission, two clutch kits and an 02 sensor that was stripped when I had the y-pipe installed. My engine has been through a lot with my heavy foot. Btw, I bought the car with 103,000 miles on it. I'm just afraid that by the time I am ready to sell the car, there will be so many miles on it, I won't get ish for it.

I just bought my car 15,000 miles ago and it now has 146,000 miles on it and the engine is still going strong.

209K but died after a month long oil leaking binge thanks to firestone.

I just surpassed 100k miles last month. Car is running beautifully! I also had the O2 sensor replaced (lifetime covered warranty item), and *that is it*. No starter, pvc, hoses, anything... I have had all of the major servicings done, so I'm sure the usual worn items have been replaced.

My only gripe is that the clutch is starting to show signs of wear. When the engine and tranny is cold, I sometimes get a "stuttering" when engaging 2nd gear. I also am experiencing a very slight momentary grind when slipping into 2nd, again when cold. My last tranny change wasn't Redline, so I'm going to go back to it. So in about another 5 or 10k miles, I'll have to do the standard clutch replacement (will throw in a short shifter then).

I just bought a few extras for the car, to include 10AE shift **** and walnut grain wood dash pieces to commemorate the 100k occasion. I intend to keep her for the next 100k miles!

A rule of thumb:
The man who drives moderately and maintains meticulously during the first
100K is rewarded with reliable service during the second 100K.
The man who abuses his car and neglects maintenance during the first 100K
doesn't get a second 100K.

I have a 95 GXE that's about 30 miles from 100,000. I bought it with 72,000 in 10/99, and the worst repair bill was just for some new belts. Its still going strong, and hopefully things will continue that way.

Maxima81

Wow, good to know that the Max will last for quite a while. My 95 GXE is my first car and got it back in Oct. 00 wit 74500 miles. Up to 79k now (time for an oil change..) and still super quiet and running very strong despite the abuse NYC roads (and sometimes I) put on it.. Only extra cost were new tires...

Hey how did you find out the O2 sensors are covered underlifetime warrenty? Can I just got to any dealership and they'll check? I believe one of my O2 sensors are going out. Thanks...Like I said I've got 170,000 and I'm planning to go a long way. BTW do you know if putting in a Ypipe voids the 02 sensor warrenty?

Gary95

I agree... although my Maxima forgave me for most of my neglect. I may have changed the oil regularly, but I managed somehow to skip my 60k mile service. So, I got hit at 90k with a complete brake job and replacement of a few belts. THAT WAS IT. Ain't she a sweatheart?

I have to admit I don't push her hard very often. I brake easy, coast to stops, and seldom accelerate really hard (only when really necessary or I was challenged in the right mood) or punish her on wild corners. I'm also adept at avoiding potholes/bad roads. At least, I feel like I've been rewarded!

Gary95

I was actually "paraphrasing". It's really not a lifetime warranty. The O2 sensor problem is a defect covered outside of the warranty, which essentially means that every Maxima having the symptom will be repaired at any time without cost. That's what Nissan told me.

I got a letter in the mail regarding this issue. I don't remember the specifics but I thought they only extended the emissions warranty by a certain amount? I must praise Nissan, my car was past the extended emissions warranty period by a couple of months/mileage and they reimbursed me for the work I had paid at the Nissan dealership which said there was no recall. Too bad they are the only nissan dealer in town within 2 hrs drive.

152000miles (245000Km) and she's doing alright....front end is getting a little baffed (stabalizer)...broke the muffler, replaced knock sensor, squeeks a little inside.....door seals are wistling, funny rattling going on somewhere in the rear, a few o2 sensors replaced, thats about it....oh ya....that f***ed idle prob im experiencing

pretty good besides that

100K on my 95 5 speed. Clutch went bad at only 9,000 miles and Nissan replaced. Had an O2 sensor replaced around 50,000 and that's all. My car has sen several runs of 110+ mph for hours at a time and runs like a champ! In fact, my front brakes are stil original. I have added a JWT pop charger, a new wsp Y pipe and changed the tranny fluid to redline. All I have done is clean my air filter and change my oil (and put on two sets of tires). I have done nothing else... Truly amazing! I hope to keep hr another 100K since she is cosmetically and mechanically perfect!

I have the same situation with my car. I have a 95 GLE and everything is running great except myt starter is going I think. When I brought it in for an oil change I looked under and also I noticed that the exhaust was rusting. I will add whatever money is need cause I will run this Maxima to 400k.
