Should I Buy It???
I went to look at a 95 Max today and it ran like new and looked great. The only downfall to the car is ithad 223K on the dash. The seller wants $4500 OBO for the car and I wanna offer him $3500. He is a mechanic at a nissan dealership and he did take care of many of the common problems with the car which he mentioned to me before I had the chance to ask about them. Well let me know what you think!

nah, dont do it..i think even 3500 is too much. wait it out until u get what u really want and a good deal at the same time.
As a side note i waited 8 months to get a new car, and now i have it all. 96 5spd max with only 24.5k on it when i bought it

The car is 5spd and the clutch was done 40,000 miles aog...
Yea i think i might save up for alittle and get one with less mileage...its a shame though cuz this car drove like it was brand new...Well what mileage should O look for with a Max...When does everyone have to start replacing things and what should I look for?
Thanks

) ... i guess what you should look for is one with around 90,000 miles if you're looking for a 95-96, if you're looking for a 97-99, you can still get them with less than 30,000 miles on them, but be prepared to pay a pretty penny.( i don't know if my figures are exactly right)

My budget is BROKE 
...no I was just gunna save some money up...make payments to myself, and save up cash then sell my 3rd gen and buy a 4th gen...Gunna take the advice of waiting though...the 3rd gen is running strong so maybe ill just do some more modding on that and save up!

I know $4500 is a little steep for that kind of mileage, but if majority of everything else was okay, couldn't you just drop in another engine with less mileage from a local junkyard? I've seen a few with about 60-80K miles on them going for about $1000.
