To be or not to be

My 2k2 just turned 45K, I ws thinking taht since the warranty is going to be over in 15K, should I buy a new car or not. I would love to have my maxima, but I am afraid the car is going to brake. Should my max, stay?

I have an 01 SE, 74K miles on it no major problems other that the SES light which I like seeing there. Code P0240 or something like that. It comes and go so I just don't care anymore.... Maximas are great cars so don't be afraid .... if you try to break it then it will break....... keep it as a girl, treat it good and it will treat you good...

If you trade in you max as a 'financial decision' then you are making a very poor one. Even if you had to put $1000/year in unscheduled maintenance in the car every year for the next 10 years, you would save a he!! of alot of money in the long run over buying a brand new equivalent car($25K-$30K).

No, they'll charge you for tearing your tranny apart only to find out there's nothing wrong with it and then put it back together.

Keep the Max. They are great cars and will last with only minor problems. Such as CV joints worn. Little things like that maybe.
