IL: 1996 Nissan Maxima SE / Black / Cloth / 5 Speed / 171k
IL: 1996 Nissan Maxima SE / Black / Cloth / 5 Speed / 171k
Time to get rid of the daily driver. Looking to get back into a Civic or a newer Maxima, so I'm passing this deal on to someone else.
It's a little rainy here in IL, so I'll be taking pics in the next few days.
$2500 OBO
1996 Nissan Maxima SE
- 171k, I bought it with 135k 3 years ago
- I've only had to replace a few things during my ownership, this car is a great daily
- oil changes w/Castrol GTX every 3500 miles, always use 91 octane gas, NGK plugs every 10k
- the exhaust rusted out last summer, so I replaced it with a Bosal midpipe, OEM muffler, Warpspeed Y-Pipe, Magnaflow cat
- replaced the shocks last summer w/KYB GR2's
- replaced knock sensor, front O2 sensor last summer
- the tape for the side moldings has gotten loose on the driver side, but I could care less since its just a daily
- tires were replaced last summer as well
- Pioneer CD player
Issues
- A/C needs to be serviced. It worked when I first bought the car, then stopped a year later
- the belts needs to be replaced, just started squealing
- CV boots are torn, noticed this last oil change
- lowbeams don't work, needs a new headlight stalk. I have the headlights aimed down and just use the high beams.
- CEL is on because the charcoal canistor valve is rusted shut. It's the big black box behind the rear bumper.
You can kinda see it in this pic, just so there's a pic in the thread
