well not too new im from east bay, bay area, CA. I was 17 when I got my first maxima back in august and now 18 and recently graduated high school (I know has nothing to do with introduction but whatever), I got my first maxima in august, 2008. It was a 1995 SE 5spd She was my first car and damn was she so much fun to drive, I got T boned on January 8th and she was totaled at 133,000miles I looked all over the place for a whole month and came around a 1997 SE 5spd fully loaded with only 76,900 miles! so I got the dude down on the price, actually like $2000 I walked out of the place with my new baby for only $4000. Since then I have loved modding it and just every time I get money from work, parents, whatever I throw it into maintaining and modding my car (mods are in sig)
so that's basically my story. I have been on this site since sep, 08 but never really started looking at it or posting anything until march(ish)
you guys all seem smart and I hope this is the right maxima forum too be in

but yeah that's basically it. BTW I bought my car stock, 100% stock from a 75YR old man who took PERFECT care of it, he was the 2nd owner but since 3000miles or so so basically has owned it forever. its at 83,100 miles and running like a champ!

 

Nice find!

 

nice

 

BTW does anyone know how to take off that white thing with the nissan badge on it in between the head lights?
I wanna paint it black but can not figure out how to take it off.

 

looks pretty good on the outside.

 

I'm sorry but that's not totalling it IMO. That's totally fixable, for much less than 4k. Still though nice find on the 97. I have a 96 with 92k on it.

 

that's what everyone said but apparently the rear axle was completely broken off or something?
I don't really care it was the other persons fault 100% so my insurance didn't go up a dime

 

the interior is immaculate too, not a single rip or anything. Dude took PERFECT!! care of this care.

 

Nice find. I have a 95SE 5-speed with 77,900 miles on it and I've owned it since day 1. I think it will out live me!

 

Could have gone down to the junkyard or something man if it was really busted, but as long as the axle didn't split in half or something I'm sure it could have been re-attached. A sad loss really, but again, congrats on the new one, does it have leather?

 

yup, it has every single option available for the year minus heated seats.

 

...congrats?

Welcome back Pmohr!

 

Yes welcome!

 

I wish my maxima was as good looking as yours. congrats!

 

nice find dude. i bought my 99 with 72 on it...immaculate condition...now it has 88k...still young lol

 

I also got my new to me 99max gle in May 09 with 85k. Also in really great condition with heated seats -foglights tho. Mine's Sterling Mist, but i really like your white one with those wheels, I'm on blades. All in All great Find! I like older people they really know how to appreciate things.

 

Nice Grab.

I just picked up a 99 I30T with 90K on it for 3500. Such a deal.

 

Welcome.

 

Ummm..... ABS? Electronic Climate Control??

Like Pmohr said.........member's rides next time bud. Congrats

 

lol about the acident that you had, that probably screwed up your torsion bar, and thats why it wasnt fixable.


how is everybody getting 4th gens now with such low miles? lol. i thought i got lucky last year finding mine with 98k, but turns out the milage was rolled.

 

my bad, I will put it in members rides next time. Thanks, yes it has ABS, auto climate control, like I said everything minus heated seats

 

damn, that sucks, what was it rolled from?

 

well i looked on car fax, and in 2005 the car had 175k. so i probably have around 22*k, but the car drives great

 

dang that sucks man. As long as it drives good I guess.

 

Wow, this looks almost identical to mine but I am in NC lol. Same battery and intake. Just a 2 year difference. Wow...
