FS: 97 RSWD/BLCK 5 SPD LI W/MODS $1600 *FIRM*
So basically here is the deal;
I've had this car for about 1&1/2 yrs. The original owner was a good friend of mine. She bought her in FL, and has driven her until 251k, at which point I took over. I have her complete story (about 2 folders). All the maintanace and more.
The first one with $1600 takes her.
1997 Maxima SE Rosewood
5 Speed
267k miles (original motor and tranny) Regularly Serviced
Black Leather (No ABS or htd seats) was bought in FL
Climate Control
16 inch SE rims with Bridgestone Blizzteck snow tires.
MODS (~5k miles):
* Stillen pop-charger intake
* SS Autochrome headers
* SS Autochrome y-pipe
* Warpspeed Hi-Flow cat (w/*metallic* substrates)
* Custom mid pipe (2.5" all around)
* Flowmaster Hushpower resonator
* Remus single turbo muffler
* 2002 Factory Xenon Bulbs w/ aftermarket headlights (one pice unit)
* Red LED Tail Lights
* 5th gen BBK (D&S Rotors SS lines, Calipers and Pads) ~3k miles ago
RECENT MAINTANCE : w/ Receipts
5w30 Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil Change ~100 miles
BRAND NEW Windshield ~100 miles
Autozone Battery (top of the line $90) ~300 miles
Autozone Starter w/lifetime warranty ~1k miles
Autozone Power Steering Pump w/lifetime warranty ~2k miles
Entire front suspension including right control arm, sway bushings etc. plus Eibach struts and shocks ~5k miles
MISC:
Replaced Bose Radio w/ stock (works completely)
Fixed the LED's on the Climate control w/stock (all light up)
Replaced the E-brake leather boot and the 5 speed leather boot w/stock (looks very good)
THE BAD
Basically everything works. The car runs! However there are cosmetical flaws. The hood needs to be replaced because it lifted up and broke the windshield. There are misc Dings, scratches, and dents all around. I mean I would give it a 6.5 to a 7 out of 10. This is reflected in the price. The CEL light is on, throwing a few codes. Nothing too serious. She needs wheel allignment, and thats about it. She is drivable with Inspection until december. That's all I could think of.
I know you all will be asking for pictures, so pictures will come with interest. I will be taking a few pics tomorrow. I will not haggle over the price. Its 1600 FIRM. I don't want to hear empty promises and BS stories. She could be used for parts or just to fix her up. She was REALLY well taken care of! Nissan did right with this car. I will post more pics and the VIN tomorrow. You could PM me or e-mail me at staplescomp@aol.com
Lastly, I would be accepting trades, maybe for a 5th gen or something similar. The trade would be my maxima plus CASH.
Thank you for LOOKING

around 870 is my payoff...well considering mine isnt perfect by no means either...id prolly want 1900 for it considering blue book the way it sits is 2200-2600 not to mention its got a few things not too much<cleared corners,weapon r intake,hids and ae'ed headlights,i got a set of clear tails with the black "se" trim on them installed once for 3 weeks,need 02 harnesses to use> and as of recent all within the last 10k i got new axles,new battery,MAF,front rotors and pads,drivebelt,idler pulley,radiator> and its got some ebay muffler on it,sounds nice to me but is going to need replacing in the future,needs for sure abs sensors and suspension work(shocks n struts)oh and i forgot to mention its got new control arms bushings and balljoints as well as link kit.i got the factory airbox still along with the factory bose cd player. and oem corners would go with it as well.

I understand, well gl with your ride :-)
I am sure someone will pick it up. I'm surprised not too many people on the org are interested. I give it a few more days, then I'll throw it to the sharks on CL, I'm sure there itll go pretty fast.

yea maxfever1987 gave me a quote... I was looking for something a bit higher. Allthough I do wonder how cool it would be to part her out (I don't have the time nor the place).
Anyway... 1st one with $1k in hand will take her. I am just a bit tired of ppl low balling. It's not that this money will break me or make me ... so honestly PLEASE no low balling

So much body work to be done though....Do you know how much it would be to get some of those dents out? or replaced? I have a friend with a engine and clutch that i could swap out so I might be interested depending on how much to fix the body.
Also what are the codes its giving? Will it pass emissions? Are the dents in the pictures the ONLY noticeably ones? Does it drive strong?
Im only asking these things because Ive been seeing you post and now giving it some serious thought....You PM"ed me about my car i had for trade that im considering just selling now.
