I was looking at carpoint.com and some other car website and they rate the '95 maxima's engine as having major problems just b/c of the rear O2 sensor failing and b/c of the evaporator failing. How does that consitute such a poor reliabillty rating? My '95 maxima has been extremely realiable other than the O2 sensor failing

The website says it gets better after 96+. The O2 sensor was the only problem with my car with 50k+ miles on it. I love it.

 

If memory serves me correctly 95-96 where included in the O2 sensor recall.

 

believe a word MSN says....
I bought my 94 TBird under the premise it had 5 out of 5 bars.......
only often problem being the MAF sensor...
now the POS... everywhere else like Consumer reports "Spotty over all, AVOIDE THE 94 MODEL"
they all have horrible Tranny reliability
wish I'd a known that when I bought it

I like their retail ##'s, anybody want my 99 for 22K??

 

I had the rear O2 sensor and antenna both fixed under an extended warranty so I didn't question it too much. The dealer claims no recall exists for the O2 sensor. I know there is info to dispute that claim.

Maybe those Consumer Reports price numbers are for a GLE, loaded. I bought my '99 GXE brand new and paid only $16,620. Edmund's http://www.edmunds.com/used/1999/nissan/maxima/gxe.html says it now has a dealer retail of $17,420.

 

Sell you my 95 for $14,000 too. Wishful thinking I guess.

 

mines a 95 with 111,890 miles on it..only problems ive had is with the starter.

 

Starting in 1996 they made the engines out of aluminum which made the overall weight of the car 100 lbs. less. I don't know if this had any effect on anything else.

Didn't they start that in 95....
