1) 1995 GLE Stock

2) Local auction

3) Only a G. I'm a backyard rookie mech though and did all my own work and mods on my Durango and Jeep, so figured I'd give a Maxima a shot. This is MUCH more of a knuckle buster than the D or Jeep, lol

4) Power seats, windows, power door locks, clock, radio, horn, left power mirror, minor engine issues. Seats, front windows windows and horn are taken care of. Clock and radio still do not work even after a swap. Thought one of the rear coils may be bad, but no change in misfire after swapping out the suspected bad coil. I would be posting questions in the 4Gen forum, but its saying I can't start new threads.

1) What is your car (or was it when purchased) ex: 1998 SE Auto, black on black, stock.

1998 SE Manuel Black on Black leather all options you could get besides heated seats. 140k... with Original clutch.

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

The amazing Craigslist.

3) How much did you pay?

Got him to lower to $4200 from like 5.5

4) What issues did you have to fix immediately?

I got lucky finding this car too, cause it was everything I wanted and it only had a few scratches on the trunk and needed a new AC compressor that I just re-routed. The body is mint, a few dents on the rear bumper like maybe from him backing up into a sign? The antenna was messed up but that is it. Noting I needed to fix right away though cause the AC compressor didnt start making horrid sounds after about a month.

Damn, I was feeling good about the deal I got on my car until this thread

1) 1997 SE with 120k miles (purchased a few days ago). Black on black leather with very good maintenance.

2) Craigslist

3) $4800

4) Nothing, front tires a little past half tread.

I still don't regret buying it though. It was the color and interior I wanted. Used car prices in my area are high which sucks, but I should get at least $1500 for my 91 accord.

1) What is your car (or was it when purchased):
1997 Gold (EDIT: seeing how my car looks like IlyaK's I assume the color name is actually 'Pebble Beige' )Nissan Maxima SE with 171,000 miles on it
5 sp manual
SE Leather package with black leather, auto climate control, etc. Leather is in beautiful condition, no rips or tears. Bose speakers but with a high model Kenwood head unit and also two 10 inch subs in the trunk
Cold weather package, heated seats, mirrors, etc.
Sec. and conv. package

2) Where did you find it? ex: locally ; autotrader ; this forum ; etc.
Craigslist, had to drive way the hell out of my way, but the car is in such good condition it probably would have not lasted had it been in town.

3) How much did you pay?
Asking price was 4000, I paid 3500.

4) What issues did you have to fix immediately?
Apparently the whine in my transmission is an input shaft bearing, the diff bearings might need to be replaced too, but at this point don't appear to be too too bad.

The sub's weren't set up right and the amp wasn't using the low pass filter, everything was coming out the subs. Even Tom Shane's voice from the shane company commercials on the radio would make my windows rattle. In about 2 minutes I set the amp properly and tuned it

Both fog lights were burnt out

The knock sensor was bad

Just for ****s and giggles I'm going to add a number 5:
5.) What did you do to your new car after getting it?

I washed and waxed it, got some leather wipes and made sure my leather was moisturized.

I tuned the subs and set my my radio stations and settings the way I like them

They said one of the remotes had a bad battery but in reality it just wasn't programmed, so I programmed both remotes in

checked the transmission oil

Changed the engine oil

Cleaned the IACV valve and TB

Checked the air pressure in all the tires

Did the above listed in number 4 as well as installed a cold air intake, did the fog light rewire into ACC power, and the brighter clear corner mod.
