i was at ebay looking for some computer parts, i got bored after a while, so i did a search for "maxima". two 5th gens came up, so i checked them out, but i noticed something funny in the description on one of them, here's the link, check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...699534&r=0&t=0

if the link doesn't work, go to http://www.ebay.com, search for "maxima", then sort the list by "highest price" and click on the one titled "Nissan:Maxima 2000 Nissan Maxima SE--Low Reserve WOW"

 

190 hp?? Either the guy modded the engine put out less hp, or he doesn't know the specs on his car....Bid is close to $15k...not a bad deal....

 

He's partially right... ~190 fwhp.

 

And the auto maxes give us what... 130 fwhp? Heh I shoulda bought a stick.

 

either the guy copied this info from another auction or something, or he actually thought the 5th gen has a 190hp engine, its kinda sad when you think about, its also kinda insulting, he probably bought the car for all the wrong reasons. he shouldn't own the car if he doesn't know s*** about it. i'm j/k btw. i got a little out of hand.

 

That sounds like a great deal. Seems like its in good condition. hmmmmm, whats the catch.

 

I noticed it right away when I saw it on ebay. Maybe he's selling it to get a 2001 with 222hp (haha).

 

Diederik dynoed at about 170... or was it 176?
