1997 Upgraded Maxima for Sale!

Hey Guys! I have been a Nissan Maxima fan for as long as I can remember. However, I am into Off Roading and need to get rid of my 1997 Maxima so I can purchase an SUV - Nissan Frontier to be exact! Below are the upgrades on the Max:

1. Stage 1 Jim Wolf Racing Clutch
2. Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel
3. EBC Slotted Performance Brake Rotors
4. EBC Yellow Stuff brake pads
5. Jim Wolf Cold Air Intake
6. Stillen Front Strut Tower Bar
7. Progress - Rear Anti-Sway Bar
8. Progress Coil Over Suspension
9. KYB Gas Shocks
10. Cattman Performance Exhaust system - High Flow Headers, High Flow Catalytic Converter and Cat Back Exhaust - $3,500 by itself.
11. Brand New O2 Sensors all the way down.
12. Pioneer Aftermarket Head Unit
13. Pioneer Sub Woofer
15. AMP
16. Rockford Fosgate Wires

The Bad:

1. Front Left Caliper is shot. Needs replacing.
2. Has some issues starting, I jerry rigged a push button start for it so it is fine now.
3. Paint job is peeling apart. - Maaco does it for like 300 dollars.

Make me an offer, and please be fair as I have invested over 7k in this vehicle. I live in Woodbridge, VA and am in the process of taking pics so I should be ready to email them soon. My name is Ibrahim and my email is ibrahim_amra@hotmail.com

Seem like smart upgrades to me. GLWS. I have an extra caliper I can sell you if you need it to finalize a sale or want to sell it with a replacement caliper

1. Wrong forum. Post in classifieds.
2. Per the rules, you must post a price.
3. Pictures, pictures, pictures help sell a car. Post 'em here.
4. Dibs on Progress Coilovers when you part out.
5. Your #8 and #9 conflict with each other....explain.

And you'll never get it back.

Your best option would be to bring the car back to stock & sell the "upgrades" here on the org. Your "sell to" market would be much bigger for both areas that way and will definitely yield you more $$$ in your wallet.
Perhaps you can make a deal and trade (plus a little cash) somebody on here for their stock components. Exhaust, suspension and brakes are the items you should look at.

A 97 Maxima isn't worth much no matter how it's been modded.

Exactly. I have over 15k in mods alone, will I get even half of that back? Nope. Sure won't.

I love when people say "invested". Really they should say "spent" or dare I say "wasted".... haha

I am having a really hard time believing #10. How in the world did that entire exhaust system run you $3,500??


I could be wrong but was Cattman more expensive back in the day or something? Geesh!

come now. everyone knows this isnt true, and isnt even worth it if it was. half the time they run the friggin basecoat, and the clearcoat runs will be everywhere. very hard to get a good job at maaco. the $300 claim is JUST spraying. no sanding. no masking. no primer. no buffing or de-nibbing.

I live up the street, let me know if you would like to recoupe some of your investment in you sub/amp, intake, suspension and exhaust aftermarket parts. Be willing to give you OEM to replace plus $$$. Usually more profitable to part out mods and return to stock than try to recoup them selling car, plus many will shy away from a modded car IMO.
