Any original 2000 owners left in here?
There are so many new ppl on .org, and the original 5gen owners have traded up by most part. It will be 4 yrs in August since I bought my Max. This is the longest I've ever held onto a car. Tell me I'm not alone! lol

We purchased our 2k SE in Nov 2000 with 90 miles on it... now it has 55k. We also plan on driving it either a) rusts apart b) cost more to fix than it is worth c) get irritated and be willing to eat the negative equity and trade it
No really we like the car... it just seems to be the "little fender bender" magnet in the past year.

I just bought my 2001 Maxima SE not to long ago from a VW dealership in Houston. The car was in great condition. The leather seating, BOSE stereo buttons, and exterior paint is in excellent condition.
The only thing that was missing was the floor mats and jack stand with tools. So I bought a new set of mats from Nissan and I'm going to find a used jack stand and tools at a junk yard.
Right now I installed tinted windows, sylvania silverstars, and I just ordered a set of clear side markers from custommaxima.com.

3 years and a month now- 85K miles later.... I plan on probably giving the car to my GF - soon my wife and I'm going to get a shoe box Sentra SE-R mod it till I find it undrivable on da street- as it happened with the last one I owned- and then I will be forced to drive my Max back again....

Got my 2K GXE 5spd on 3/2001 with 7K miles. I now have 88K. It is the longest I have ever had a daily driver, period. The car is a beast, I beat the cr@p out of it, and it rewards me with troublefree use. The paint looks horrible (black and sandblasted) but it runs like a top. Every time I consider getting a different car, I drive it a while and change my mind.
Cheers,
Jason

It has been 4 years this past May, and I am still loving it...Eventhough I have been tempted in trading her in a couple of times. Just under 26K miles, and I am hoping I can pay her off before X-mas.

We have owned this Maxima since Oct 2000. It was a left over as the 01 were allready on the lot. We got a great deal. We went back to the same dealer for our Pathfinder Armada this past March. We also paid the Maxima off so now we just own on the Armada. Since we have paid it off, I have spent $1100 in emissions type repairs (O2 sensiors and downpipe neither of which are covered on the emissions warranty). I really hope this is the last of it otherwise my very high opinion of this car will start to deminish.
The car is fantastic. It is now mine as my wife and son get to ride around in the Armada. My Max is an SE 5-speed with the Meridian package (17 in wheels, sunroof and homelink). The car has 75k miles on it and runs great. The engine does need a cleaning real bad, but other then that all is well with the car (Knock on wood).

I bought my 2k GLE new in November of 2000. I've had it for over 3 and a half years and now has 93K on it. Some original and some modded parts. I will drive it till it runs into the ground...

1100 dollars on emissions equippment repleacement ?? wow.... I take it U took it to the dealer to get it fixed. Word of advice for the guys on the forum- ask some of us locals for help. Instead of going to the dealer and repleacing unneccessary parts. Dealers and techs know less bout Maximas than some average forum members here.
