My Maxi has 113,000 miles, and still runs like the first time I drove it off the lot with 11 miles. 02 SE,113,000 miles, perfect condition, worth about $7,800. Based on kelly blue book value. 11 months more and I get my pink slip. I have a G35S, bought it best bang 4 your buck. $35,340. stay with your maxi, use it for work. Keep the other for the weekends thats what I do.

. The main reason being is that I have countless paint chips and the coating is coming off my hood

(Nissan uses some very cheap paint). My question to you all is, if I am leaning towards trading my Maxima in, should I do it ASAP before I hit 100K (I am assuming that once past that the value would drop drastically) or should I just stick it out (maybe repaint the car and drive it till it dies (if anyone can comment on the life of there maxima so far or how many more good years they can expect after 100K) ....

100k is nothing for a japanese car. and with all that paint job needed, u may not get the $$ u are looking for. I would keep it if i had the space for parking and a good insurance deal.

let me just say that my maxima is an 00 model and it's still running fine after 170+ miles on it. i guess it all really comes down to whether or not you want a new car.
