Hi Everyone,

I have for sale a black 1996 Nissan Maxima. I am unsure of the trim but it's either an SE or a GXE. Gray cloth interior with black exterior. The car has about 230,000 miles on it with original engine and transmission. Automatic Transmission shifts good.

Main Problem:
It looks like the Radiator fluid is leaking pretty bad. The car starts up and drive, but unless you remember to put water in it (about 1/2 gallon a day), it'll start to overheat.

The car starts up and is still being driven daily. However, we need something a little newer now. We don't want to see the car to someone without telling them about the problem or claiming it's a car that will run fine because we don't want anyone to get hurt. The car still has useable parts from interior and exterior.

It does have a CEL on. We are located in the Philadelphia area and want to just sell the car as a parts car. We don't have space to keep a car for parting out, so instead we'd rather just sell the car as is to someone who can either fix it or someone who will use it for parts. I will try to get some pictures up soon. Clean title. Stock car, unmodded. Steel wheels.

I want to just take offers but as the rules say, I have to put up an asking price. I'll start with putting it up for $1,000. I am completely open to offers so just let me know, or if someone a few orgers have a better idea of what to ask for, I'll take it into consideration. If you have any questions, please PM me or email me at onoishno0dl3z@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Have a nice day

 

Do you know where it leak is located? Any pics?

 

Same question as above. Its an actual leak and not a head gasket as far as you know?


Have you checked the CEL codes?

 

in for response to same questions...is it leaking right in front of the oil pan? any pics of the car

 

Hey,

I don't drive the 96 maxima, it belongs to my uncle and I rarely see it on weekdays. Haven't been in the car in quite a while so I'm just going off of what I'm told right now.

It sounds like it's definitely a leak (can see dripping) and he the dripping is near the oil pan area. We haven't had a chance to trace it at all. I'll try and get some pics up when the weekend comes around. Still busy with classes.

As for the CEL, I haven't pulled the codes yet. I'll try and see if I can get them pulled over the weekend as well.

 

Sold.
