I searched eBay for one, and saw a company that was selling them on eBay. This company had listed their phone number in their ad, so I just gave them a call... Turned out to be a regular auto shop, and not only did they have that part, but he also had all the other parts I was looking for too. I wrote down the prices of everything, and it turns out, he had the best deal. Can't remember any other details, but if you really want, I could probably find him in my eBay histroy... --maybe, because I actually ordered from them directly over the phone...not through eBay.. Maybe after I clean this room, I'll find the receipt... --if you really want to know the company...

After doing a search on eBay for "Maxima CV" I found a few that were about the same price I paid. I think I bought mine from a company named "MIDWEST FOREIGN AUTO PARTS" which goes by the user name "luis4649" on eBay...
Here is their online eBay store:

Anyways, I was actually going to replace just one boot ony my drivers side CV axle, and went down to Pep Boys and got a new boot for like $20. Pulled out my entire left CV axle, and tried to figure out how to get the boot on, but no matter what I did, I oculd not figure out how to get the CV axle apart so that I oculd take off the old boot and put the new one on... I ended up returning the boot to Pep Boys and gave Auzo Zone a call...
Now I had to figure out if I had limited slip differential, which I found out my jacking both front wheels off the ground and turning one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the other wheel turns in the SAME direction as the one you're turning, then you DO have limited slip. But if the other wheel turns in the opposite direction, then you DO NOT have limited slip.
Auto Zone quoted me a price of $120 for the non-limited slip, with ABS, auto tranny drivers side CV axle, minus $55 "core" when I return my old CV axle, for a total of about $65. But then I called my good buddy over at Advanced Auto and found that he sold the same one (same company, "CCT") for a little bit cheaper, so what I am going to do is show Auto Zone this, and get some more money knocked off the total price when the new axle arrives in about 3 days (they had to special order it).
So, the cost difference for me was minimal, and I'd rather order from someone like Auto Zone or Advance Auto than some company off the internet, when you have no idea how long it will take.
