Bought it last year and spent about $1,000 on parts to make it drivable again. Need to sell due to corona crisis making me unable to complete the project (needs new paint, tires, interior revamp). Full car description is here.

Asking $3,000. Fyi, last year a mint condition unmodified 3rd gen SE auctioned off for $6,000. Buyer pays shipping (~$800) or may pick up if in or near Jacksonville, FL. Thanks.

 

It may help if you listed what you've done to make the car drive able again..

 

Wow, amazing, Matt Blehm's car still going! He was a legend back in the heyday of Maxima enthusiasm in the early to mid-2000s here, and I loved chatting with him online.

Im giving the forum members a shot until May 1st. If no interest it will be put up for auction. Thanks.

 

Is that car still available? Btw couldn't see the pic on the link since it was an old post have no idea what the car looks like

 

Sorry for some reason im just seeing this post. Yes its still available and i have also put it up for sale on autotrader now.

 

Price drop to 1500..someone was gonna buy it on autotrader for 2k then bailed out last minute.

Will give this STEAL price a few days and then its definitely being auctioned guys. Thanks.

 

Looking forward to the auction, I bet this baby goes for top dollar, just like that mint condition SE you mentioned.

 

People are weird bud..they could just paint it themselves and put new tires and backseats on it but would rather pay 6k for a mint condition (unmodified) max..smh

 

Great pictures is what sells a car. Here on the Org, all we have to go on is one picture of the car on a tow truck from last year when you bought it. IMO, you should post up current pictures of the car including the exterior, interior, engine bay and trunk, and undercarriage pictures (if possible). Use a quality camera. The 3 pictures I can find on Autotrader look like they were taken with an ancient cell phone and are extremely low res and poor quality. About 20 high-res pictures should do it. GLWS.

 

You have a point lol my mechanic who fixed the car took it..im in miami and the car sits in jacksonville so i depended on him for pics..didnt think it would matter much at this price

 

 

 

this the windshield crack matt mentioned in the description

 

Does this thing still eat oil like crazy? I remember after getting that engine built up, the rings never seated or something goofy. Been so long that I can't remember the exact details but he was having problems with it - pretty sure with the rings.

It's a real shame what being exposed out in the Texas sun will do to cars. Dang.

 

Its been months since the oil change and i havent seen any oil issues

Looks like ebay takes 10% of auction sell price..i really dont wanna get into a situation where i have to pay the fee and the buyer doesnt come thru like the one on autotrader

This needs to go in the next week or two so i will probably have to junkyard it for $500 unless someone steps up

 

Jesus i wish you were closer.

 

If he’s still got it it’s coming back to Texas. I was just made aware of this last Sunday.

Rip

 

Oh man, this is sad. In maxima.org's heyday in the early 2000s, I interacted with Matt almost daily, and he was a man of high honour and skill with an awesome sense of humour. So sad to see the car in this state.

Someone might as well just grab the shifter **** and boot, and the gauge bezel.

Any other 3rd gen OGs still active on this site? Can I get a hello from DanNY, Kaleb, Uncle Pete from UK?

 

The good old days!

 

oh hai

 

This is sad, I would have drove down with a trailer right then if I'd seen this!
