that is crazy after visualizing about the average drop

 

what you mean?

 

i miss this look

 

as of 2/9/12 its officially over, it's gone

 

So, what happens now?

 

i focus on my beater until i get my next vehicle which will more than likely be a truck

 

dam purple was dope

 

lol out the word works the purple appreciators come

 

Not going back to the maxima game?

I can dig driving a truck. Raised old toyota Hilux would be boss. Even a Nissan frontier

 

i'm done w/ maximas...nissans for that fact. i'm not going back to an old truck either...at least not now. leaning more towards a tahoe z71 package or maybe an avalanche. if i was banking bigger bucks i'd get a ford f250 turbo diesel or a king ranch

 

Interested to hear, please explain. I am somewhat in the same boat, but I'm sure having an auto effects my experience with my "max"

 

naw...when my transmission went out in a manual...that pretty much told me alot about nissan engineering and how they cared about making a quality product. granted, there are good things about teh maxima, but having come from toyotas...nissan left a bad taste in my mouth. if i had to would i own another maxima? yea, it'd be a fourth gen more than likely, but seeing as though i have a choice, naw

 

Didn't your car have a ridiculous amount of miles though?

 

the car was maintained since i owned it w/ 117k miles...i cant tell you of a vehicle i've owned or anyone i know owning that was manual that the manual transmission took a ****, regardless of mileage

 

mmm alright got you

 

I understand what you went through and I'd probably feel the same way..BUT

Since you got it at 117K miles, that mean someone else had it for the first 117K and he probably didn't take car of it like you and I do to our cars you know? You did a nice job with it at the middle/end but the maintenance of the initial 100K miles are CRUCIAL to the longevity of the engine/trans. Nissans, like all cars have their problems here and there. It's nothing compared to some issues that sentras like mine have with engines blowing up and what not. Toyota's are badass when it comes to reliability though, I personally love Nissan because I feel they add a "sporty" element to their line of vehicles, from altimas, to frontiers, and to the z's and gtr's. Which is why I chose to buy a maxima before a camry or accord!

 

Now officially everyone I knew in the max game is out! End of an era OMG

 

i 100% understand that. but especially now that i dont care about something sporty unless its really a sports car, it doesnt bother me, hence why i'm satisfied, if i got it (doubt it), a GS300 over a maxima

hahahah yea man. kinda scary. glad some 'OG's' are still in it though

 

no one wants to see pics of that car...
