Found my 95 M/T maxima on cars.com, bought it for $3300 from owner. Had 100K miles at that time (one year ago). My first car, had no idea how powerful this car is until I first took it on highway! 60mph in 2nd gear in no time, that was awesome!
The car ran perfect for 3 months, then I had to change the clutch as it started to slip. Other repairs since then: brakes, valve cover gasket, one fuel injector, lower ball joints.

1997 SE 5-spd, Arctic Pearl White, Leather, Bose
I bought it in Y2K, had 36,500-mi., looked and drove like new, well taken care of
Bought it from an ad by an individual in the Denver Post (Denver is 100-mi. away) who was buying a new 2000 Maxima at the time.
I replaced plugs and two sensors @ 60K miles, then belts and water pump at 120K miles.
This morning it looks like I need another sensor replacement (presently 128K miles)

Found mine at a local budget lot (through autoextra) just last June, after the Dynasty took a s***. The owner's son had been driving it around and was quite disappointed when he had to switch to a Buick Regal after I bought it.

1999 5spd SE, CA-spec (unfortunately), Sterling Mist (also unfortunately..), Bose unit, cruise, bone stock, not a scratch on it, a couple lights out, broken antenna, the only thing I can tell that's been replaced is the starter. Came from Maryland and there's hardly any rust underneath (what it's got is probably from it's short time up here in Ohio). I got it for $4000 just shy of 140,000mi.

I notice lots of guys with bad Knock Sensor, MAF Sensor, Right O2 Sensor and so on.....maybe I'm lucky but my sensors seem to be fine. How would I know if I have a bad sensor?

Didn't finish scrapping that VLSD 5 Speed to me YOU!.... I HATE YOU!.....

Anywho.... continuing on...

97 5 Speed SE @ 130,000 miles over 3 years ago purchased for $2800 at an owner to owner lot. I wasn't even looking for a Maxima at the time and was actually looking at a weak little 94 Civic DX for the same price. Drove both, fell in love with the VQ30. Drove it home. Ran 13's w/ under $1500 in mods. Civic would have taken a decent amount more.

- Had ripped axle boot (Fixed the same day)
- A/C needed recharging (Charged the same day)
- Had Y Pipe and Stillen Pop Charger
