okay. dood needs to put down the crack pipe. who in their right mind would trade a maxima for an ATV?

 

Wow.

That is crazy.

 

just on a side note....ATVs are not cheap, my friend just spent 10K on one

 

ill trade him my "maxima" emblem for his atv

 

Exactly. Like he said, some ATVs can put many, if not most Maximas to shame, price-wise. Although I don't think a 2002 would be anywhere past $5K, I wouldn't doubt it would be similar in value to many of the beat up Maximas found in this forum.

 

well all the guy wanted was a maxima, who can blame him!?

 

.....

 

lol im gonna go buy my uncles 91 max and get myself an atv or maybe ill just give him my blown airbag steering wheel sounds like an even trade

 

EXACTLY.

 

i wouldn't do it

 

I would. . . but I'd trade him a 2nd gen (no offense to 2nd gens)

 

At least he has good taste to pick a Maxima.

 

My ATV (Suzuki Z400) that i got for christmas cost close to 10K bux, and they dont depreciate as much as a maxima would. at the moment, i think my ATV has a higher retail then my maxima, but still, i wouldnt even consider trading an ATV for a car or vice versa

 

Actually, I'm laughing at you imlikewoe.

ATVs are very expensive....for what you get. The guy wants a freakin 95/96 Max, which is NOT worth more than a 2002 ATV. 95 Max with under 100k miles you can easily buy for under 5k in excellent condition.

So in the end, WTF are you laughing about? He's making a very legitimate offer, provided somebody wants a 2002 ATV. FYI, 95 Maxima is an 11 year old car - old, very very old. If there ever was a time to get rid of a 95 Max, it is NOW.

 

I didn't know we were in 2006....I think a properly maintanined max stands the test of time pretty well...I'd say drive it till it breaks.

 

95s came out in mid to late 94. We are now in mid 05, what's 3 months among friends

 

buuhhh.....

I applaud him wanting a max, but legitmate? I think not... would anyone in their right mind trade their vehicle (a max none-the-less) for an ATV? That offer is hardly legitimate.

 

if u need a atv and have a maxima laying around then its a good deal, only people who own a 95 max consider them nice. a max going on 11yrs isnt going to be worth a whole lot any more

 

i saw my car at auction for 2500 it was a 95 with 150k miles

 

Why? It's not like we have much to lose anymore. A 95 max is worth 4k now, 2k in 5 years. So in the end, who cares? I paid the equivalent of 3.2k US for my car, I'm not the one getting screwed if I sell it in 5 years. The ones getting screwed are the ones buying them brand new and selling them 5 years down the road for 1/3rd - or less - of what they were worth new.

There's a reason cars aren't listed after 10 years. It's pretty much timeless after that.

 

Is this thread going to make it's way to OT?

 

i dunno if i would do it unless i had a spare max sitting around. i mean...being able to drive on the highway, even roads at less is more of an enticing offer than to be only able to drive in woods, or on a track area only. i mean..you cannot even drive the atv to the grocery store wihtout getting a ticket

 

Maybe the guy has bad credit and all he has to work with is the atv. sheesh give a guy a break!

 

lol, funny

 

sad thing is if I were near boston I wouldn't even think twice about this deal, its DONE and DONE. I would much rather have the ATV than the headache of my max right now. In fact IF I ever get it running again I will sell it pronto. I can't deal with a car that takes this much maintainance.. Did I mention I have driven the car 3x and put $500 in it to have it not start? Sorry guys, I dont mean to sound like a hater, I always wanted a max and I get a lemon... just not cool

 

 

Crackheaded fool

 

This guy is dumb... who wants a Maxima?!

 

you guys are missing the worst part...the atv is a HONDA!!!!! ...wtf

 

its not that crazy, if is raced up(atv) ive got over10g in my race predator(polaris)

 

Hey thats my post HAH! J/K but yea if I had a atv id want a maxima too

 

He doesn't even specify what model ATV it is.... if it's a modded 400ex then it might be worth it, but anything else no way.
