I went to to look at a '98 Max at a local used car dealership. Has 75,000 miles on it very,very clean car. I believe it is a Maxima GLE,I have already checked the VIN on CarFax.Clean car. No dents,some scrapes that can be buffed out. I live in a town that is primarily Ford and Chevy.I have two Nissans at the moment 1990 300ZXTT and a 1995 Pathfinder SE that literally will die with me. The guy wants $9,700.00 for this puppy. I need opinions.

have you checked it out with a mechanic? If you are mechanically inclined, you can do it yourself, but it sounds like a good deal. I would check for stuff like: coolant ANYWHERE in engine bay other than where it's supposed to be, check condition of suspension (struts, shocks, boots/bushings), check typical things like tire wear, rust spots (body/underbody). Check service records for oil changes etc.

 

oh and BTW, there are not just gentlemen here.

 

Looks like you did your homework, I dont think you need us to convice you to get it. I paid about that price for mine and it had about the same milage. I just got mine last month and reached a point of just getting a car (The other car (92 Sunbird LE) overheated picking up the Max..LOL...) I ended up with a 98 SE 5 spd fully loaded (I wanted to stick with manual) and have not regretted getting it since... im still giddy everytime I get in to drive.... good luck

Sorry Erica just trying to be polite to everyone and Ladies too!


Mechanically inclined ..........I think so Timing belt change on the Z32 and the Pathy also. I do all the work,I'm the only one I can trust! .

 

I know I was just teasing! Excellent that you do all your work yourself! the great part about the 4th gen maximas (except 95 I believe) is that they have a timing chain, not belt. You wont' have to replace that (although some people like to replace the tensioners).
