Almost to 113,000 on my 1997 SE. It's been an excellent car, no problems except a new starter in the six years I've had it.

98 GLE with 204,567.
Traded it in.
Motor and trans strong.
Had Collant leak , most likely water pump and CV boots ripped during last cold spell. Needed struts.
I have no doubt I could have put another 100,000 on it.

I read 143,000 yestorday. And going strong. Actually somedays for some reason when I push the gas paddle it goes easier then usual and speeds up much quicker (like it's a nascar or something). I don't know why this happends but I also noticed at those times it eats my gas like crazy...

I bought mine almost 7 years ago with 32k miles. It now has 112k miles on it. I had an extended warranty on it, so I got Nissan to replace all the stuff that were going or looked like it might go in the future, 5spd transmission, main seal, starter, CV boots (twice), clutch, radiator, ect.

my mom's 95GXE has about 38,000MI on it, everything original... and runs strong no check engine light, only the paint is chipping because its always outside .. My 01 is having more problems than that car has :P..

221,000
Bought mine at 97,000, now it has 221K (97 GLE auto). Replaced: battery, alternator, starter, 2 ignition coils, AC compressor, knock sensor, steering gear(leak), steering pump (leak), both CV axles. All replacements within 6- year span, almost all repairs were DIY, so i invested maybe $2K or so in repairs so far.
Belts every 60K, did not wait for them to fail, just considered them as part of maintenance.
Original engine and transmission. properly maintained, conventional 10W30 oil only, conventional trans fluid only, no additives or anything,no synthetics, conventional everything. Does not burn oil, no power loss, fast response, drives like new. Major brake job at about 210K, all new-all 4 calipers, rotors, ceramic pads, brake system flush and fill, just like doc prescribed.
The car has mostly highway miles though, no bumper-to-bumper traffic, garage kept.
Pros:Maximas are very close to Mercedes or Volvo in sense of craftmanship, this particular V6 engine is one of the best engines ever made in automobile history.
Cons: Maxima is no longer an affordable car, if you buy it brand new plus in my oppinion newer models are not as reliable as those made in late 90's or early 00's.
