Go to autozone and get one for 150. It has a lifetime warranty. I've gotten 2 free replacements so far.

How about the lowest 4th gen mileage? I just picked up a 96 5 speed SE two months ago and it now has 61,750!

I'm not trying to brag.. I sold my 01 Altima GXE that I put 118,000 on in 7 years. I had a 92 Maxima 5 speed SE in high school until a drunk driver turned infront of me while I was doing 45mph... I never saw him or touched the brakes. I t-boned his 86 GMC Sierra almost killing the passenger. My brother and I walked away from the accident, the MAX saved my life--those crumple zones work! That airbag sat in the steering wheel for 10 years and deployed at the instant is was supposed to. My only complaint(besides losing my precious MAX) was that EXACT day I'd just had the front CV joints replaced by Nissan and the insurance company called it rountine maintenance and wouldn't reimburse us the $600!

NO PROBLEMS.

Why is this thread still alive? Furthermore, why are most of the replies by people with 130k? These cars are a minimum of 10 years old, 10,500 miles per year is hardly "high mileage".

Mechanics are really idiots I dunno how some say " certified mechanics"

DrPaulFlammond

Well, can't say for certain as one of the few things that have broke was the odometer. At 100K... 11-12 years ago.

96 MaxGXE, best estimate is a little north of 300K miles. She's been a reliable daily driver, first for my wife when she bought it used in Dec06, then for me when my 99SE got totaled and she got the new car in Jan04.

Easily 50Miles/day commuter + always driving on weekends, used to be much more in years past so I easily clock 20K/year average.

Starter @ ~175K
Water Pump @ ~270K
Alternator @ ~300K+ - died a few months ago . Left for work, smelled something funny. Opened hood - alternators on fire. Blow out fire. Drive 1 block back home. Blow out new fire. Spend day replacing alternator . (I've had a new spare alty in the garage for 8 years that the wife got back when she worked at Bosch - just in case hers died so that was a free fix)

Other than that, O2 sensors, knock sensors. She's been a tank for almost 15 years for us. However, she will not make it thru this winter. Needs a new suspension and exhaust system. Can't justify the cost. It will be a 7th Gen Max for me this winter . When that day comes, watching this old girl get taken away will make me feel like Kirk watching the Enterprise burn up in the atmosphere is STIII .
