FS: 1997 Maxima SE - Auto - MA

Selling my 1997 Maxima SE. Auto. Black with black leather. $1,500.

The good: I bought it in 2001, second owner, kept up with all regular maintenance and had it reupholstered with the black leather. Engine still runs great, only 128,441 miles. Just put on Tokiko Blues, less than 100 miles on them.

The bad: It needs a new front ball joint and brake lines. Also needs a blower motor (only works on high) and will need a new axle shaft sooner or later.

I haven't driven it regularly in almost 3 months because I don't want to put any more money into it.

PM me if you're interested. Thanks.

Thanks maxspeed96CT!

Infam0usMax - if you want to work something out for shipping costs I'm all ears.

Nismo_Dj - the million dollar question. All I can tell you is what my mechanic told me: the front ball joint MUST be replaced and so do any corroded brake lines. Not sure how bad they are but I drove it in and out of my driveway last weekend and they barely work. So no, not driveable, but AAA allows me to tow it up to 100 or 120 miles if that helps. As for the cost of parts, I checked online and the brake lines were maybe $80 and ball joint $200? I forget, but you can check carparts.com, that's where I've gotten stuff before.

Hope this helps.
