Finally hit 300k

...and still runs like a champ. Sure it has a few minor issues, like the rear driver's side window regulator that broke the same day I reached 300,000 miles, but hey, that was still the original part. The other three window regulators have already been replaced in the ten years I have had the car.

Once I get settled in at my new place I may pick up an engine stand so I can replace a number of worn / leaking parts all at once and with plenty of room to work. Beyond that it will remain a daily driver. I am now looking forward to 400,000.

Congrats. Great car. To this day that is still one of my favorite Maxima generations. Hopefully mine will hold up for as long.

You have plenty left in her, keep going. We are closing in on 400k with ours. Brilliant machines really. If a family can turn loose of a car with 380K+ miles to their college student with few concerns of mechanical failure its a wonderful thing.

292 here so it won't be long for me. But I just got the car so it's a little different and mine isn't near the condition yours is in.

I plan to sand and re-clear the top edge along the driver's side as a temporary fix. I polished and waxed the whole car a couple months ago, but the wax stuck in all the chips and cracks in the paint making it look even worse. Now that I have the space for it I want to get a 60 gallon air compressor again. Maybe one day I'll respray the whole car.
