Last Thursday was monumental (for me). Max passed 200k on the way home from work. Engine gets the same mpg as the day I drove it off the lot (20). Love my friggen car. 47 oil changes of M1 synth 10W30. Fram oil filters, nissan air filters, and thats it....everything else is stock. Hoping and expecting another 50K. 200k.....thats like 6 american cars.

 

damn 320km that's quite a bit lol how much do you drive? I drive about 60km/day (about 37.5 miles) and my car only has 87,xxx km (54,xxx miles) no problems whatsoever except my alt and my rad both went but thats due to low usage from previous owners

 

Mine rolled over 151,000 tonight...150,000 was about two weeks ago. I deliver pizza :-)

 

190k baby... and going strong... so in 2 mnths I'll be over 200k and keeping my lady until the day she doesnt want ot go anymore....

 

Congras, wish my car will hit 200K someday. 20 mpg since brand new is kind of low? I heard Fram oil filters arn't that good but I guess it did its job.

 

92 miles round trip for work. Heard the same about the frams, but I change oil every 5K religiously.

 

I have over 250k... and mine is a 2000. Also, in terms of air filters, I suggest that you get a K&N Air Filter, I have one in my 05 mustang and they are great I haven't got one for the maxima yet, but I plan to soon

 

Don't know why but I kinda feared 200k as the 'end'

But you guys definitely give me confidence as in, 200,xxx is not 'end-of-life' (granted you take care of your baby)

I've had an eye for newer Nissans but I'm not even close to wanting to get rid of the Max. I'll keep climbing for 200k

 

damn i got a 2000 and mine is about to hit 188k...unfortunately for me a few things are wearing out and getting replaced this weekend...both sides axles...control arms with new ball joints and tie rod ends..i need a precat,abs sensor,hood,fender,and the paint on my trunk above the maxima emblem is cracked to sh*t,not to mention i also need to do the whole suspension over,aside from ALL that...my max runs MINT hoping to hit 300k someday as i drive 1000 miles a week

 

I hope mine will make it to 200K I only have 110,XXX now and she is still running good and strong

 

How funny I just turned 200K last week myself driving home from work. Since I just had to get my tranny rebuilt I'm going to keep it for a while and shoot for that 300k mark. Would expect to get there by 2014.

 

Congrats man! I am on my way up there, i got 177k

 

It is nice to read about the 250K some of you drove in a Maxima.

My 2002 has over 205K and still running great. Never had any problems and all I had to do is repair due to typical wear (brakes, belt, tires).

When the mileage got higher, I started to use premium gas only.

What a wonderful car. I recently bought Audi, but keep the Maxima in case the Audi has problems.

 

As I was wondering why this was bumped from over 2 years ago, I stopped in my tracks because...

That's quite an accomplishment, that's more than my 95.

 

just hit 191k on my 00SE. looking forward to hitting 200k without any major issues.
hey OP, whats the list of things you fixed in your max so far?

 

Come on man, OP? Really?

Original date, and Iw as referring to the thread bumper above me for the accomplishment on his 02 w/ 250k

 

I've got 181K on my 2000, I just had to replace my battery, alternator, serpentine belt, and all four tires. Although, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need new rear struts soon, I think I can hear them banging in the wheel wells when I go over bumbs.

Sorry, I didn't know that we weren't allowed to bump old threads.

 

wow..

 

Im gettin there in a year or two

 

211k and still going stong

 

Had to bring it, well 251K today and still strong.... is my lady and still alive....

 

205k in my '97. Guy at the service department in the Nissan dealer said he's seen them over 500k. :shrug:

 

500K? Can't be original motor.

 

There's a guy with a Volvo nearing 3 MILLION (original engine but I believe it's been rebuilt twice). 500K I can believe.

 

there's a guy on this forum that has over 400k on the original motor, so that's not to far fetched. it really all depends on if it was well taken care of and not beat on daily.

 

My 02 SE is at 148,xxx........just warming up.

 

I couldn't imagine owning the same vehicle long enough to hit 400K miles. You must really have to love your car. I have 181K, and I would be surprised if I make it to 200K, before I get bored and trade up to a 5.5 Gen Max. (6 speed of course)

 

Once you get your gen5.5 6MT, you will want to own it long enough to hit 400K miles.

Only 135K on mine. I expect to replace the engine and transmission well before 200K. But barring a major collision, I expect to keep the shell for a long, long time.

 

With gas price close to $4 a gallon. I have mix feeling about people with car getting higher mileage.

 

I'm about to turn 185K on mine. This has been the highest mileage car i've owned, and it does worry me a bit because of that. However, I'm glad to see many Maxima's are holding up well and beyond 200K, so i'm not too nervous about keeping the car longer since I can't afford to replace it at the moment with my current employment situation.

 

I'm sure your right, and that would want to keep the 5.5 Gen for longer. I just really want the the 3.5L engine for the higher horsepower, and the sixth gear, just for the sake of having six gears.

 

I wish my car had a 6th gear. Turning 3,000 rpm's @ 75 mph kinda sucks...

 

I'm up to 190k miles on my 5.5 (306,000km). Precats were removed a long time ago, so it's running great right now, and I expect that trend to continue for a long time. Only premium fuel is used, and I change oil every 3000 miles.

 

At 194K right now on my 03 GLE and have 194K miles worth of paint chips in my hood to show for it. My only regret having owned it for 9 years now was not getting a manual transmission (oh, and letting my wife drive it ;-) kidding, of course. kind of).

 

Oh yeah, I would never buy a car with an automatic transmission. Just too boring.

 

I was soured by my old 5 spd Mustang after 2 clutch jobs and a tranny rebuild in a fairly short amount of time. I let it get to me

 

We already have a mileage thread, let's let this one die in peace.

 

i got 208k on 01 Se 5speed & i expect to see 300k why you guys doubting the vq? if you run a quality synthetic oil every 6months you will see 300. my 99 had 265k miles and i dawged the hell outa it dailly red line dailly only problem EVER was 4 auto trannys and a MAF sensor the rest was routine maintance.

 

Not even sure thats necessary....just change for regular oil every 3-3500 miles
