really look that car over before dropping that kind of money. 33,000 miles and 12 years old doesnt add up, check to see if it has a salvage title

 

Good luck with the Civic.

Dang, near PA, and sold the Max already. I would of been interested.

 

I'm taking it to my mechanic tomorrow for him to look over. I test drove it and it ran nice and smooth. A lot better than my 98 Max. I think it was an old lady who bought it to go grocery shopping lol there was one owner and no accidents on the carfax.
I sold my 98 Max a month ago or so whenever I first post this thread. Then I came back saying I'm getting rid of the Honda because of the curse. Ended up finding this beautiful 5th gen on a lot and fell in love with it.

 

dude, my 95's a great runner and looks good too. i just spent 425.00 on her for 2 tires, oil change, and an alignment. but to me, my 231,000 mile max is worth it!!! most reliable car i've ever owned.

 

I definitely miss my 98 but I'm really looking forward to this 2000. 33,000 miles for a 12 year old car is amazing! I'd be willing to spend over 200,000 miles with her it feels good to be back.

 

9k for a 2000 is an awful lot of money, regardless of the mileage. These cars aren't rare by any means, unless it's an AE. Even then, that's a lot of money. If you are happy with it though, meh. It's good to see you back in a Max.

My 97 is about to roll over to 260k. It's still going strong.

 

Really... You think so? Even from a used car dealership? I mean I guess it's quite a bit for a 2000 but I'm new to the 5th gens how can I tell if it's the anniversary editor? Should I provide pics?

you can get a civic transmission for damn near dirt cheap..it's a d series..you can find one for around 250, maybe cheaper

 

I had a similar situation, I first had a 95 maxima, manual transmission, there was nothing wrong with it, no ecl, passed smog first time. I sold it because I wanted something newer, now you guys are going to laugh, I bought a 2004 chevy montecarlo with 61 thousand miles, I drove it 40k while I was in college...needless to say, I sold the montecarlo to my brother for dirt cheap and bought another 95 maxima for 300, replaced the engine with a low mile engine and now I feel happy with a car once again. They're very reliable cars and I sincerely missed the feeling of the max

 

 

that's a very nice GLE

 

Same boat as you pretty much. Almost back in the maxi game. I love these cars and I have a good feeling with this one. Someone told me in the beginning of the thread you can't buy a Max with over 150k miles and then baby it. I went from 153k down to 33k miles.
Thanks! I fell in love with it once I saw it. It's very clean and runs great. I'm hoping I'll be able to afford the monthly payments for the loan. That's all I'm waiting on.

 

Yeah it is...

Make sure your mech takes a damn good look at that thing.

 

Yessir it's getting looked at today. He's actually not a fan of Nissan nor Maxima's so I can gaurantee he will try to pick out every little thing wrong with it haha
