It's a nice start for $500 and you can't beat what you paid for it.

thanks for the comments peeps.
the taillights are 97-99. no tape on em'.
core support is in pretty good shape.

here's a little background on her:
(tecnically i'm the 2nd owner, previous owner did'nt register it).
the original owner brought it from texas.
moved up here by elgin.
by 50k wrecked it (rebuilt/salvage title).
replaced front end.
sold it with 165k (ROLLED THE ODOMETER BACK TO 115K also removed service engine soon bulb!!!!!!!) on it with a bad trans to a friend of mine for $1700.
friend drives it with bad trans. runs into someone.

sells it to me for $500.

the only rust if see is by one of the spoiler legs.
only mod i've done so far was the aux input mod on the oem bose headunit.

thanks peep's for all of your comments!!!

maximusmorpheus:
yea she's a concord mist.
i think that color's gonna be a pita to find.

the6spdmax:
yes i have some mods planned.
in fact i plan on getting a y-pipe.
people here says thats the "best bang for the buck" for quick and easy horsepower.

a friend of mine had a cold air intake and just gave it to me for nothing!!
there's a set of wheels at my job 16x7 with an offset of 25!.

and a stillen lip kit.

what was wrong with it...wow!
well the girl that i got it off of never registered the maxima why:
tranny went out.
then the brakes (which is why the maxima is missing a grille).

got a lsd tranny for $45. and replaced one of the rear calipers.
so far so good!!

everyone in my family say's this car is really me. and it's better than the other car's ive had in the past.

lol! funny my mom says that i'm gonna have to put some money into the maxima in order for it to keep up with the q45.

(funny thing is she never floored the max or seen the power of it)
