Question

I'm about to buy a 5th gen maxima 150000k
Now being that I'm not a smart I have a few questions for you smarter guys
1 it's lowered but the back seems to sit lower than the front. Is that normal (lowering springs )
2 the exhaust is a custom 2.5 to 4inch magnaflow. Is 4inch too big for a max
3 cel for 02 cause of exhaust is. My only option replacing exhaust for inspection?
4 is 2500$ too much
Thank youuu!!!

Run away

Most .org members have put on a 3" exhaust but 4" exhaust :|?

Lowering puts more wear and tear on suspension components

What are the CEL codes?

Offer the guy like $500 or run away

1. yes
2. I seriously doubt it's a 4" exhaust, probably just a 4" tip
3. English, do you speak it? Try again
4. How are we supposed to know what it's worth w/o knowing if the car comes with detailed maintenance records, pictures etc.

No, why would you do that? Diagnose and replace bad O2 sensor as necessary.
Now if the previous owner bypassed the O2 and it's just tucked up somewhere and not installed in the exhaust system, you'll need to have a muffler shop install a O2 bung in your exhaust so the O2 sensor has a home.
