I'd get the driver seat replaced. The back has been wide-open since the car was about 16 months old, because the dealership fixed the lumbar mechanism. It's not worth it, but with say the powerball, who cares, I'd just fix it. I have to admit though, with lottery winnings, the Maxima probably wouldn't be driven anymore. I'd do a e90 daily driver and then add a 997 to my garage for those sunny days on the Pacific Coast Highway and dinner parties on Sunset. Even though I'd be joining the ranks of those who didn't earn the coyne to buy their ride with their own hard work, I think I'd just deal with it!

Anyone willing to give part of their winnings to charity?
The other day, I saw this POS that was barely held together by wire and duct tape. The windows had been covered up with clear plastic sheeting, the muffler was riding about an inch off of the pavement, the left rear door was pushed in and only closed halfway, and there was so much rust on the outside that I could imagine pieces of the body falling along the highway.
So, I thought, "Would I buy this guy a different car if I won the lottery?" The answer I came up with was, "Yes, but only because I wanted to see junk like this taken off the road!!!"

It really didn't make any sense, heck a 1969 or 70 GTO Judge was sweet, not to mention valuable, even in 1993.
The laws in Cali are all weird!
