The 100,000 mile Club thread
 

Our 6th Gen Maximas are aging now and many members are hitting 100,000 miles. I just hit 100,000 miles. I was heading westbound on the 210 freeway in La Verne CA about 200 yards before the Foothill Blvd exit in the slow lane on Saturday April 10, 2010.

Id like to hear where and when you hit 100,000 miles and send a pic of the odo if you took one. Here is mine:

Driving to work sometime last spring, I hit it. I wasn't even paying attention due to a fight with my now ex-wife. 127K now.

My 2004 has 84K at the moment, 18K of that is highway driving from school back home (190 miles roundtrip).

For those of you with 100K +, could you also post your opinions and feedback on your maximas performance and characteristics at 100K and over!

My engine purrs like a kitten. I'm having to replace my six speed next week because I broke first gear, but I couldn't be happier with the engine.

I am at 105k. Owned it from the jump, so they are all my miles. Kinda weird to have it 100k. I was gonna get a pic but it didn't work out that way. Time for plugs and some other maintenance but I still plan on hitting the track this summer!

I hit 100K this summer, getting on the onramp of a highway. It was kinda tough taking a picture while merging but I did, since I knew it was now or never but that was my daily driver my maximas still at 52K.

Is this all thats hit 100k??? :gotme:

6k to go!

WOW my 04 has only 47K and i bought it with 31K

I have 107,xxx. Happy to say no engine or transmission issues since I bought it in 2003 new with 9 miles on it.
Ive put an ABS actuator, a sensor, a rear subframe (recalled), had the roof painted for bubbling paint near the windshield, and this weekend control arms which have bad ball joints ($240 shipped for the pair).

Given its been paid for for 2 years now I have to say I am happy with the reliability in general. Its garaged and parked in a ramp and had a new hood bumper and fenders put on it due to an accident and the new painted roof from 2 years ago, so visually it looks like its only a couple years old inside and out.
When im ready to get something else I will probably put it up for sale myself since its been taken care of and worth alot more then the blue book trade in.

You need to drive your car more ;)

I hit 100k about a month and half ago while heading on 3 day leisure trip to New Orleans. She now got about 102k on her...2006 max :gapteeth:

04' Maxima and racked up 132K miles ...Fresh off the lot

48K. May 03.

2004 SE and I'm at 115k now. Had the water pump and timing tensioner replaced at 110k. Other than that, just regular oil changes and seafoam about 150miles before the oil change. Still gets between 28-30mpg too.

O5' SE just passed 118k, I hit 100k doing 100MPH somewhere in the mdwest so no pic

:rolleyes:

Will get there probably early next year! 05 Maxima acquired November 2004.

Why the rolleyes?

Thats awesome. I thought Id hear some whooping and hollering when it 100K :gotme:

i am already at 122k...



:wall:

I don't know how you guys do it. I mean you guys are averaging 16500 miles a year. That's 320 miles a week or 45 miles a day. That is rediculous. That is about $1786 in gas a year with 28mpg average and at $3 a gallon. That's $34 a week in gas or about $5 a day in gas. I mean let's be serious for a minute that's a lot of miles guys. I drive everywhere and I am just a little above 75k miles.

04 SE with 105xxx

I have 67K right now but im averaging 20k a year so i'll b here by next fall!

05 Max 123k and running smooth

LMAO this is funny... I just made something similar to this not too long ago:

http://www.6thgenmaxima.org/forums/f...es-club-21367/

lol

70k to go or about 7 years to go

About 5k to go, had since new in Nov 0f 2003...

134K today...100K was hit a while back, January 2010.
'04 no major issues ... yet

I should hit 129k tommorrow. On issue is common trans problems. Now i have slight mis fire.

Thats why my next car might just be a Nissan Leaf :cool: Gas is NOT going to be getting any cheaper.

I have 102000 on mine. Still firing like the night I brought her home. The only thing I need to do is upgrade my struts to KYB. The oem struts sucks.

Houston is a rather large city...:(

i was crying on the inside...:p

Also to note...the car still gets pretty damn good milage while cruising on the freeway. I reseted the trip counter when I filled up in town...and got a little over 324 miles at a hair under half tank as shown in my pic. :)

Cuz you live on a little island, lol. In So Cal, everything is sooooooo spread out. Its not unusual to drive 200 miles on a Saturday of tooling around town.

What Deus said, I drive about 60 miles per day. And barely drive on the weekends...

Deus check PM please...

How about 197,000 & counting. Gaining at the rate of 500 miles per working week and 150 -200 miles per weekend. Not had too many problems. Has an occasional oil drip since 100k coming from the drive shaft. Changed front Rotors to power slots at 95k just did the rear a few weeks ago, K&N OEM filter since new. Mobile One Full Syn every 5k religiously. Winter tires are Hankook Icebears . Go anywhere (and I mean anywhere) in the New England snow, often out doing some 4x4s.
Summer wheels and tires are Privat Profil 19" Black with hand polished lip with Toyo 245/40R19 Proxi T1R's for boots
Stainless steel front Grille Winter 03 destroyed the first.

Had shimmy issue from new tried a bunch of stuff from this forum but never really got to
the bottom Deal was clueless . Now is just an idiosync of the car.
Thinking about struts right now since the orginal are getting a bit noisy now.

Average around 26-28mpg from week to week typical ride to work is 20miles across country and 30 on the highway.

Anyway, still goes like hell and has balls to spare ~ not much stays with me across country.

I'll be driving this car till it stops expecting at least another 100k so upto 300,000

Sounds like you have gotten your money out of this car and then some!!!

worth every cent of the $32k I paid:D

My first Maxima was this color except it had dark tinted windows. Wish I still had it as I like that color better than the dark grey I have now. May it rest in peace...

and d#$n the hit and run driver that nailed the drivers side rear and spun my wife into a solid rock wall. Loved the car before...loved it even more after my wife and son were able to just open the doors and walk away after hitting a rock wall at 70mph.

Awesome you've got that many miles on it with so few problems.

100000 miles wow!!
 

Hi everyone, just wondering how many of the 100000 mile club got there without automatic transmission problems? Are most members of this elite club driving a manual transmission?

You hear so much about the auto trans problem that I wonder if it is just blown out of proportion? Are any of these cars modified very much?

Thanks
Walter

Oowe I feel the agony ahhhh it hurts just to look at that. I alway thought this color was the best. Just preference I know, but it appeared very classy to me.

Mines auto. True its a bit wacky sometimes selecting a lower gear than it should on kick down but basically sound. changed the box fluid twice since new.

I have a 5-spd Auto and so far no issues. Transmission fluid was changed at 30k and 60k. After the 70k mark I got into the practice of simply exchanging out 1 qrt of ATF at every other oil change. That's probably overkill, but who cares as long as it keeps running like new.

im almost there, within the next few drives, but my pic will be 160 000 km

121,000 and never a single problem. A weird jingleing noise when braking every once in a while but that's it.

109k on a 2004 with 5sp auto, never a problem

Past 200k now
 

Here we go 200,000 miles

Just went in for split AC hose and came out with two new seals on the drive shafts as well... One was leaking apparently :nutkick:

I have not had any tranny issues. 125k now and only had to do a steering rack in addition to scheduled mx and brakes and tires.

Rolled 100k this weekend on a trip from Austin to Ft. Worth. Still riding nice and smooth.
