04s are no worse than 05 and 06; they all have the same tranny. The 04 SL 4speed has a different tranny eminently less prone to the issues on the 5speed that you have on the others.

Yes, the Elite package comes fully loaded. Is the tranny manual, 4speed auto, or 5speed auto?

The elite package in manual will not give you any issues with the tranny and engine. You have to put into consideration the average person does not check their oil between oil changes especially if it's done by an oil changer. They usually drive the car for 3-4 month or 3000 km and don't check the oil neglecting the oil level which will result in problems.

Honestly 7K for a 6thgen maxima is just a bit pricey IMO. You could try to look for a maxima with a blown engine for around $2000-2500 swap it for a younger one and it will cost around $2000-2500 installed and that would give you a few G's to play with if anything breaks or need replacing. Atleast you can rest knowing you have a young engine with no issues

04 Elite Maxima w/157K for 7000 is a bit pricey. I recently got mine for about the same price, but 90K on it (not elite).

Does the dealer have any solid history on the car? because you may be looking at a timing chain tensioner if it hasn't been done yet
