well as the title states, We (well my sis paid for it, its hers) just got a 2000 max. It is our 8th maxima, we currently have 3. Anyway, It has 122k and cost $5,700. It is a white gxe in really good condition minus a small dent on the passenger side fender and scratches on the rear bumper. Also the oil sensor is leaking that in the lower oil pain(not really leaking, kind of just wet around the area, no dripping) and the passenger axle input seal on tranny is wet but not dripping. Drives great!

Did we get a decent deal?

What do I need to know, look for in terms of things going wrong in the future with this car. Its our first 5th gen.

Thanks,

Matt

 

Congrats!

$5.7k aint too bad.

Not sure what to tell you about what to look for, because my '01 has not had a single thing go wrong with her.... (knock on wood) and I got 84k miles.

 

congrats.
I just helped my friend picking up an 01 maxima gxe with 72k for $7.5k.

 

Sounds pretty good, my friend just bought a 2001 GLE with 157k miles (yikes) for $5k.

 

Knock on wood, but my car has been great so far. I bought it just under 2 years ago and payed 14, 500 but it was a loaded GLE.
Purchased with 64k, now have 89k. I changed brakes, tires and rotors to get the ride smoother and better braking. I did this a couple days after purchase and been blowing $ on mods ever since.

 

Best VQ ever made, IMO. Just watch for bad coils and MAF failure.

 

i kno you gotta be one happy guy, i remember my first day... 41K with 113K on her n im still in love up to this second 13x,xxx lol... any plans???

 

congrats

im thinking about selling my 00 max for 7800
its a GLE with 106000.
a little too high for the price, but if i can get 7800 or near that ill be happy

thinking about getting a g35 coupe soon

 

wow, i didn't know maxima retain value that much, i got my 2000 gxe with 76k miles for 9k back in 2004... it's 120k miles atm...still worth 5k huh, not that bad grats man, what color is it

 

congrats!
Good deal cause here in Montreal (canada, quebec), it cost a lot more than that for a great looking car...

 

I've yet to see a fully working vias, info and fix is in the stickies but will only affect post-5k rpm performance

 

Congrats on the purchase man...
