2000.5 Maxima SE 4AT (A33 VQ30DE-K) -- car #110,111 on VIN, very last of 2000 production run built in 06/2000. I believe they made around 120-130k vehicles of the 2000 model, and around 110-120k of the 2001's for the US market. The 2001 production run started around 07/2000 IIRC.
Sterling Mist/Black Leather/Fully-loaded/90% full bolt-ons (save headers/full exhaust/tranny mods)/E-Manage Ultimate tuned.
80,484 miles -- just in time for my next oil change and 80k tune-up. Pic in sig.

How many miles can a Maxima go until it dies? How many miles do you have on yours?
I have a 2001 GXE that I bought a few weeks ago with 160,000 miles on it. The car has been well cared for over the years. I bought it from my brother who bought it used in 2002 and I know he's treated it well. My opinion is that the car will keep going strong well past 200,000 if I take care of it.
What are your thoughts? And how many miles are on your Maxima?

My 2000 Maxima has 314,498 miles (went and check before i wrote this lol) and still has the stock engine and auto trans. Both engine and trans are strong but swapping a manual trans in it before winter hits i want to do more auto x with it.
I'm a tech at a nissan dealership so all maintence has always been done when needed (but nothing out of the normal that most people would do) and other then 3 maf sensor, 5 ish wheel bearings , 2 pairs of front control arms and tie rods, 3 sets of struts (running koni with H&R springs now) and a few other things that i replaced for more performance like y-pipe , exhaust, intake its been a perfect car.
The wife's 02 has only 146k but she drives her pathfinder now so i dont expect much more mileage on it soon.

2002 Maxima SE, AT
70,320 miles. Got it about 3 weeks ago. Drives really smooth. Just put in a intake and bam, MPG says I'm getting 32 mpg (highway) I commute roughly 65 miles a day. haha! Other than that, it's a pretty great commuter car. Definitely way better gas mileage than the Toyota Tundra I drove.
