New member, need some advice

I've come across a '95 maxima with 60k miles on it. The leather interior is very clean, looks brand new. 1 owner, no accidents,No maintenance reports though. The car pretty much passed smog every other year, that's it. I'm thinking this was an "old granny car"

Besides a full maintenance deal, Anything I need to be worried about?

This will be my first car.

Thanks guys!

A 95 with 60K on it? Nice find!
Just go over the whole car, might be worth it to just do a complete tune up.
Check the lower radiator support for rust.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try and have it checked out by a mechanic. As I don't know much about cars, Yet

My friend has '95 with 270,000 miles on it so I know they last!

At 60k it is due for the 60k maintenance check list. Mostly changing all the fluids.

I imagine they are asking a higher than normal price for the car. How much are they asking?

An old Maxima with low miles could be driven for the next decade.
