i have 182k on my '96 and still going strong. hauling a 800 lb boat and trailer combo every week.

 

I used to win this one all the time. 1995 Maxima SE. Original Motor. 274,xxx miles. Still got one on you though......I've been a member of the .org longer than you.....

 

well my first max went to 160k but i retired it.

The one that i own now has 185k and im shifting at 7300k

 

Hey guys, new here. Just joined because I bought a used 1999 SE off of Craigslist from a private party (person). Felt it was appropriate to ask a certain question in this thread.

So I discovered that my odometer had been rolled back about 100,000 miles. Odo says 75K, but I found an oil change sticker dated 2007 that says 144K. I would imagine this car has ~175K on the engine now. I felt angry/stupid when I figured this out, but I need to figure out what to do now.

So what do I do now? If I were to just keep the car, how long do you think it would run before it would get too expensive to continue to maintain? Could I get 3-4 years out of the car without replacing anything major (engine, transmission)? Any thoughts from the mechanically inclined on here?

I'll be checking this thread every day for the next month or so. Please let me know.

 

167k

 

only 86k =]

 

almost 149K. had since 74K.

only ever replaced alternator, starter, and knock sensor. everything else is tip top.

 

150k original motor, bought my max back in 2002 w/ 70k. No major problems, only had to replace battery and radiator once. Luv my maxima!

 

1999 SEL with 145k, had for over 4 years now, bought it with 80k. So far i have replaced the CV boots, tune up, one bent rim, 4 tires (Kuhmo Ecsta 245/45/17) - worn down to the wear bars, windshield, new brakes and rotors, and 2 alignments, front end accident - replaced the grill, hood, headlights, and bumper. Orginal motor....still lovin' her.

 

Well in my case a lot of stuff started wearing out at that exact mileage....but if you keep on repairing things as they go wrong then you'll definatly get 3 years at least. At that mileage i have replaced both front wheel bearings, both cv axles, both lower control arms, both tie rod ends, need new struts but i'll wait a while...If you do the work yourself you will save a ton and it is still cheaper than buying a new car.

Keep an ear out for weird noises and fix them before they get to problamatic or else a bunch of repairs will hit you at once.

 

201 586K miles, second motor because of the 00VI lol. Now new motor is boosted lets see long she hold on to dear life

 

ummm too many lol about 202 ona 97

 

99 maxima
128k

 

My max has 185, somtin thousand miles it runs fantastic i think my injectors are starting to go i bought it with 177k and an automatic trans these things really run FOREVER!

 

change your fluids check for leaks or blow by if all checks out fine HAMMER DOWN!!!

 

blower motor resistor (96maxgxe) that would make you blower motor only work on high

 

284,000kms (180K miles?)

Bought with 120K on her. Just replaced original clutch.
LIkely needs tie rods, control arms, sway bar links etc as the front is a little loose but rides awful nice for all original parts!!

 

lets see my 95 had 274k when i swapped it for a 3.5 and sold it with 34k on the motor
than my 97 that i had for a month had 112k when sold and was stupid strong
and now my 99 has 174k and is gettin a little weak i think that it is time for a big swap!!!

 

155,448 and running strong

 

Just bought one with 108,000 1995

 

326,5XX Original Motor Trannys Got 59 K on it

 

158,000, and pulling strong

 

130k

 

98 172???

 

1996 Maxima SE 141,xxx. Original motor, tranny. Just replaced exhaust, and brakes since i've had it 2 months ago.

 

1999 SE with 102k.

 

1997 GLE Auto, Original motor & transmission, 200,600 miles.

I got it with 189k three years ago and did the following:
Replaced: Alternator, starter, O2 & knock sensors,all suspension (struts, springs, control arms, tie rods, end links, etc), Egr canister in the back+control valve.
Need to replace radiator support , and some body work on passenger side.

 

Around 130k on the original motor. I bought it almost exactly 2 years ago with 83.5k

 

I bought my 97 maxima 5 years ago at 21,000 for $7,000. It has 93,000 on it now and I have never had one problem with it!

 

97 max, registers (stuck) at 122K, but i think based on carfax report it is 200K +, maybe a guage swap already, odometer is declared exempt. Oh well, my mechanic fixed one leak (valve cover gasket) and says she is solid. Running like a champ.

 

97 Max with 222k on the dash and still going strong.

 

202,224....Runs like a champ!

 

Like anovib said just keep up with the repairs and maintenance and you'll be ok. These cars are very well built.

 

1995 GXE-5 312,500 miles original engine and transmission. Trans is starting to click and whine whether clutch is pressed in or not but its still driving excellent for the mileage. Will be rebuilding trans soon

 

1996 Nissan Maxima, 91, XXX miles, all original.

I'm a lucky bastard, I picked it up for 2 grand =]

 

Daamn dude congrats on that one i wish my car had 41k shhhit my car just hit 119k original motor

 

just hit 191xxx on my way up from flordia!

 

347,xxx... 347,064 to be exact... one week from today will be the two year anniversary of purchasing it at 307K. Since then, all I've had to replace are 2 o2 sensors (the norm), replace the original rear struts, a $30 used tire (Goodyear Eagle!! Good deal), and lube the EVAP canister vent control valve. Oh and a new shift boot (the old one had essentially rotted away) and shift **** (beyond "smoothed by the hands of time"... more like worn down to the nub).

A little rust behind the right-rear wheel, and some rust spots are developing on the roof between the sunroof and windshield, but nothing too major yet...

I just did my safety inspection but she failed...needs new front brakes (no biggie) and a completely new exhaust (original is the definition of "rusting to pieces"). Gonna go get to work here soon.

Still runs like a champ though. Did 130 mph about a year ago only 3 miles after it hit 330,000. Hopefully many more miles to come!!

 

i have my 96 max which i paid 1300 for at 159,990

 

98 SE 5 sp will turn 100,000 on my drive home today.
