1) What is your car -- 96 SE 5spd black on black, sunroof, electric seats, BOSE

2) Where did you find it? Friends mom's boyfriend

3) How much did you pay? $0 he couldn't pay to have it fixed and wanted someone he knew to take care of it

4) What issues did you have to fix immediately? crank pulley, knock sensor, EVAP vent control solenoid, EGR-C control solenoid, exhaust (was rusted out from the manifold all the way back). still needs sunroof repair kit, both front axles (CV boots are destroyed), BOSE CD player does work. also needs speedo sensor and Evap canister

it was a trade in at the dealership where my dad works.

it needed some body work, a new paint job, and the interior was dirty as all h3ll.

it had 113k on it. it's a maroon 97 se 5spd with black leather.

2) Where did you find it? ex: locally ; autotrader ; this forum ; etc.

3) How much did you pay?

4) What issues did you have to fix immediately?
'96 5-speed I30: $4200, autotrader, tranny, clutch, core support, o2's

'95 5-speed GXE: $700 plus expenses of transporting it myself from 5hr's away, the .org. Engine, brakes, tires, and some minor stuff, also decided to swap in a mint leather interior.

1) 1999 Maxima Se. 149,800 miles. AT Gold with tan and black interior. Comes with the Se features plus all the GLE features that don't contradict the Se features.

2. I discovered that it was at a local dealership. They were asking for 5500. I used kbb.com when I stumbled on the car.

3. $3900 for the car and $4850.85 out the door.

4. I had to replace the radiator. No serious issues other than that.
