Nice clean Texas rust-free MT Maxima.

The emblem on the trunk lid says SE. Could it be a faux SE?

Base model, throw it away. No HLSD = worthless and not worth any effort.

Judging by the shift **** and 3" exhaust, that car has been hooned.

I'll grab the shifter bezel for $5 and the shifter cable for $20. The rims look pretty good too.

exterior pic is of a 2003 GLE and interior is a 2000 SE manual?
oh i get it, it's two cars, the 2nd car is in the background (pic #4)
anyway a car might be perfectly fine looking on the outside but have previously been in a storm surge and salt water got in everywhere making the car impossible/nightmare to fix and a total loss
or even less than that if the transmission or engine on a car like this goes folks just scrap them since they cant afford to fix it
(but can afford to take a 36k$ 12% 144 month loan loan on a new car? anyway)

Ha. 2023 is going to be brutal and it seems like most people are stupid or just in denial. Car loan defaults are bigger than housing (in number not monetary of course).
Dummies are really going to wish they knew how to do anything except except drink starbucks at their now nonexistent job.
Auto loan market imploding is just the first sign. Mass layoffs will really ramp up next year followed by mass mortgage defaults.

I don't know how these ****ty manufacturers plan on selling 60-100k EVs that increase in price every 3 months to a population that has 20-50k in credit card debt, mortgage they can't pay and cars in active repossession.
63% of six figure incomes live paycheck to paycheck.
Meanwhile....the VQs/VK just keep going.
