Man does this sound..............strange.
He calls it a "Maxima ES". I thought it was a typo until i called him and he told me it has a special V6 motor. it has about 340k km (about 180 miles) on the clock and is being sold as is. Still going to check it out. But uh.....sounds like a scam.

 

It's a trim similar to the SE that was sold in Canada. It's the same VQ30DE, but the seller is probably referring to the VLSD tranny the car is equipped with.

 

Man, I just bought a 97 SE today for $3700. It has 160 on it but has a rebuilt tranny at 120 and the guy had a mechanic replace a ton of stuff in the last 10K miles. I should get it early next week. I'm pretty excited.

 

in the stickies you can find out what an ES trim is...i dont know about a "special V6" though...But 2700 (Canadian???) is VERY low for a 99

 

"(In Canada there is a model called the ES which is like an SE minus the BOSE, leather, sunroof, and spoiler (All standard on a Canadian SE). But, it does include the VLSD trans.)"

From Stickies

 

i bought this for 3k...127,000 miles.

 

That's a good deal. Were the mods done before or after you got it?

 

I bought a pretty heavily modded 5 speed gxe for $1000.

No major problems.. just got really lucky.

 

yeah i just got a SE with 160000 with every single maintance record for 2700

 

I bought my 95 blk/blk SE with all records, and all the gas records for the past eight years. It was already dropped on AGX/H&R, and a budget b-pipe for $1400. Oh yea, it was the motorvate maxima aswell!

 

Ok you guys are pissing me off. Just stop.

 

2k for 126 on the clock. original.96se

 

I'm picking up a 97 with 110k miles for 2500. I'm finally back after losing my old one to an accident!

 

maybe i'll check it out. not that i need another one.

 

I don't even want to say what i paid for mine... a lot for nothing...

 

1900 for my 97 with 180k and 200 for my 96 with 214k

 

I paid 900.00 for my 99 SE-L with 207k

 

I paid $500 for my Max in my sig it now has 125k on it had around 112k on it when i bought it.

 

Someone had to pay me to take the max.......


Amazing how the fourth gen has dropped in value...

 

I guess I can jump on the " I paid" wagon. I paid 7500(too much) for a 98 gxe auto with low miles. didnt like the color of the inside or out, but wanted a max so i go it.

 

I paid $3200 for my '97 GLE with 126K miles in July of 2006. Ever since i've replaced 1/2 the car and put almost $2000 in repairs, and it still wants more.

 

Price is fine.....just get it already

 

Technically, since it's 2008 already, they could lower it !

 

please post pics when you get/see the $2700 car.

 

i bought my 96 se with 110,000 miles for $3200 and got 2 sets of wheels with decent tires

 

I think I got hosed!!

 

not to hijack the post, but i was looking all over for a maxipad and this guy wanted to sell me his 97 se with 170,000 miles for $3700. no freaking way! it was in great shape but not worth even $2500 to me. but yours is not too bad if it just had a lot of work

 

That's the only way I justified it. It has a rebuilt tranny, new struts, new cv boots, new plugs, new alternator, new battery, new tires, new CD player (which I'm removing) and is in great shape with all records and everything. There was just something about it that I really trusted, I guess just a feeling. We'll see, it might have just been indigestion.

 

see, thats not too bad

 

paid $2650 for the car in my sig with the mods already on it. transmission/clutch needs repair tho

 

i bought mine with 140,500 on the body and 70,000 on the motor with a fresh clutch for 2500$$

 

just bought a 97 AT with 127k stillen almost everything on it and the car is loaded with aftermarket other stuff for $400.

 

Nissan depreciation kicks as$

 

Sounds like a fair price id buy it

 

I bought my 97 GXE for 2900$. No major issues except this clunking sound on the front left tire at the driver's side (something to do with the suspension, not serious I think) and an oil leak.

 

i bought a 96 pearl gle with a small antifreeze leak for 1000 at 170k.got 30k miles out of it than replaced the waterpump,now i just bought a 98se 5spd with 164 on it for 2200....just waiting for that waterpump seal to start leaking lol.

 

just to give props the the vq,the 96 gle had overheated till it shut off.....dont ask.i let it sit over night came back the next day and filled the radiator with coolant and drove it home.i had the waterpump replaced and it is still running strong.damn these are strong engines

 

Hey you mean the actual car that the motorvate website used to show "How to"
that's pretty cool at least you see all the work with pictures. That was a good price.........too add to the group $1800 for a 5speed black 97 GXE with 116K took me a long time harrassing family member to sell me. Great car.

 

this has turned into " how cheap did you get your maxima for?"

 

Yep.
