From maxima to SVX and back to maxima

Hello all!
I did the mistake of selling my black 98 SE to a friend a few months ago.Then I bought a subaru SVX, which is very fine car, and very rare too.But unfortunately, it costs a lost to fix and maintain. During all that time, I missed the perfomance,comfort, style, and reliability of my maxima.
So I sold the SVX and bought myself a beautiful arctic white 97 maxima for peanuts! The engine purrs, the transmission kicks ***, and the sound system is awesome.
The only thing I need is two front fenders and rear shocks!
800$ that a deal for you.
Happy to be back!!!!

I absolutely loved it. H6 engine 3.3L , 230hp 230ft-lb, AWD, a bit heavy at 3600,but very solid on the road, incredible engine sound (think porsche with Japanese finesse),awesome design and looks from people everywhere...only 1000 of them in canada and 25000 worldwide! Rarity.
I just fell in love with it and it broke my heart to sell it.But the maxima is awesome and its the best car I could buy for now.
Someday when i can afford a sound SVX, I will buy one again. I was even planning on converting it from auto to manual and had bought pretty much everything to do it.
But hey.Money don't grow on trees.
And this maxima is staying with me forever.

The front wheels are locked up?? My front diff was broken but it still drove to the garage a couple of miles away from home with no major problem.
You will probably need to put a few dollars in it before you can even start enjoying it, but once its driveable, its a beautiful and fun to drive machine..

I sold the svx for 850$, I had bought it for 500$, did a few repairs.The next repair would cost around 1000$ and that takes a long time for to come up with unfortunately...went with the unregrettable choice of getting a 4th gen max.
