i bought her a year ago for $300. when i bought her she wouldnt start(i fixed that problem with a new starter ot has ran awsome since. she has 444,000 miles on the body(no rust what so ever) and 50,000 on the engine and tranny.
was this a good buy?

still wet from bath. and after i spray painted the hood.




Before the bath and before i painted the hood.

Even to part out it would be a value. As a part car for your other max, even more vluable. But how much fun is it to drive and is it reliable are the true tests of value.

ya, good buy

hey that car looks brilliant for 444,000 miles. mine has 204k and rocker panels and wheel arches are rusted. motor and tranny are excellent though. you got yours for $300? thats a steal. just keep it n fix it up. what exhaust is that on ur car?

you fishing for something? cause you already know everybody will say good buy to this one.... cause it was

this is my only max. i have never had a problem with it yet in the year i have owned it. it rides amazing a has tons of power. very fun to drive with the 5 speed. and theres no rust what so ever

its just a stillen muffler. im going header back on her soon. nope got no rust on it at all anywhere thats y i bought it lol. i live in maine so its rare to find a car with no rust. shes keped in the garage in the winter to keep it that way

nah im not fishing lol. its my dads boat

Def an awesome deal. However. I know I can find rust on your car. especially if you live in maine. Let me check out the car since you dont live that far. I will bet you $20 bucks I will find something. :P

car isint from maine. its from new jersy but if you want to come check i out your more than welcome.

does it snow in NJ? lol Same thing.

yeah but they dont use the salt and calcium chloride on the roads the calcium eat the cars right out.

really???

You cant even rent a car for a week for $300 so, yes.

good deal... how about this.. im 16 and just bought my first car... 1997 maxima gle with 160,000 but it needs a motor... the lady ran it without oil... paid $400 and im currently getting the engine for $400 plus another $1000 for installation...... good deal?

yup

$1800 bux for a max in good shape with a new engine. yeah thats a good deal. around where i live your lucky to even find a maxima let alone a cheep one.

$1000 for install?

I wouldnt pay that, personally...

But yea total for the car is a good price.



As for the $300 max, good deal, but this is the most pointless thread ever. Are you trying to show off that you got a cheap car?
Congrats but this is pointless

naw it was a bad deal .....

cmon man any max for under 1000 bucks is a good buy.

yea i know $1000 for the install is steap but the thing is i wanted to get all the engine work done at one place so i would have warranty at one place... meaning if something went wrong theres no "he say she say" ya know? but like i said... first car

my max is my first car.

thats whats up. i would post mine but i just joined and i have to meet that 15 post requirement :/

yeah i hate that. but your almost there.

Nice purchase!

nice purchase and one more step to MY 15

Impressive, I thought I had a lot of miles, you've got 100k on me! Not feeling the fart can but you also paid 100 bucks less for your Max than I did lol

Keep er' on the road

fart can? hahah its a stillen someone took the original stillen tip off and welded the huge tip onto it.

I don't care for the sound it makes. I've heard the stillen mufflers in person before and it still sounds like rice in my opinion. AND technically, if some took the less ricey stillen tip and put a bigger tip, then I still consider it a fart can

Don't take any offense though, its just my opinion. The Max was an awesome deal for the price you got it and I looks great

i dont know. after you work on it for a few years, it might not be worth it.
paid $1.00 for my 99 in 2006, its worth it so far...
yeah it was from my sis-in-law, had 190+ k miles

Bought a 06 last summer for me and liked it so much I got a 2000 for my son, but not for $300. nice

nice one for the calcium
it's salt dude = NaCl

A friend gave me a DYNOMAX muffler for my 97. It sounds awesome. No fart can sound at all. Its got a good low deep tone to it.

I paid 12 times what you paid. good buy.

Na = sodium
Ca = calcium

excellent buy. My 96 max has 170k, no problems yet. Little to no rust.

what exactly is a fart can?

Its the exhaust like a civic hatch or a celica or something wld put on there cars. It makes it "high performance" but sounds like the car is farting.

Also known as:
Pissed off bumble bee
Weedeater
Leafblower
2 strokes
Gay. Etc.

Quick Question...... When u Change The Engine... Doesn't that change ur odometer also????? I brought my 96 Max wit 183K on it and I'm about to change tha engine to a 98 Engine with 71k.. Hopefully everything works out....

no. there are still that many miles on your body of the car. Just keep track of the mileage on the motor and the mileage on the body when you do the swap and you can keep track of it.

OP:

Can you post some interior shots? The body looks fine based on the pictures you have posted. I guess my 95SE, 5-speed, with 82,200 one-owner mostly highway miles on it has some life left. I had the tranny rebuilt last summer as the diff bearings were shot and replaced the clutch components at the same time, although they had years of life left in them.
