$1200 deal ??

I think I did well, runs great, 01 SE with 150K. Only problems, needs painted, the the power windows need(ed) work, and possibly need a MAF sensor, I need to read up on that though, basically once in awhile (like every three weeks or so,)moving from a stop the PRM's rev up but has no power, almost like your slipping the clutch on a standard, but pull over shut it off and start it again and it runs like new for a few more weeks...weird. Did I get a deal??

Great deal. I got my 01 maxima for $1100, but it did not run. Took me 2 minutes to get it running

Not sure if its the trans, if so you think it would be a constant or progressive failure, not just every so often. Drove it all day today, probably about 150m+ and not nary a problem, and it was hot as crap out today! I'm going to search about the throttle body, I'm not familiar with it in this application, can anyone give me the clif notes about it??

The paint looks really nice in the pic because of the lighting and what not, BUT, on the other side the clear coat is peeling on the doors a bit, lot of off debris pitting on the front ect... and there is a dent on the very forward front part of the hood where someone backed into it. I would give it appearance wise a 5/10.

For the price you can put some maintenance into it and flip it and make you a few grand... unless you plan on keeping it.

After a search I have come to find the code I pulled, P0720, is just the speed sensor (RSS) and not the tranny, easy fix, woot!
