i bought this car for 650 off of CL bc the guy was told by his mechanic that the motor was shot, long story short, a few sensors cleaned and a new set of battery terminals and a extra ground to the tranny and she runs like a cat with its tail on fire.. it needs a little work but is more then worth it in the long run this is what i was driving before i got this 97 running
and this is my new baby



interior needs some work and engine is dirty right now but that will all be done in the next 2 weeks im redoing in the interior in all black and gonna clean up the bay and maybe put a CAI on it

 

You got That maxima for 650$ If so you aslo had a gun with you..LOL good find I found my maxima on CL the guy thought the headgaskets were blown..not even close it was the rear VC..Idiots..

 

........nice pick up i guess

 

The wheels cost more than the car.

 

it turned out that he had a exedy stage 2 clutch in it and it didnt get a good ground after that so i bought new terminals and a 4 gauge wire and ground the battery to the tranny and it started right up lmfao

 

Nice! Craigslist fail= org member win. What wheels are those 20s?

 

i dunno if i would call this a gem......maybe a piece of coal in the rough that still has some few years of seismic pressure to go.....

 

lol i already sold the rims off of it to his roommate for his 5th gen in trade for him to transport the car to my house ( i was an hour away) and a new xbox 360 and 100 bucks

 

they were 18s i believe

 

smarta** lol

 

he thought it was going to replace the motor and he has a 6th gen max anyway so he didnt care.. he just wanted it out of his driveway

 

Maybe it's one of them retarded gems that the earth didn't want ..

 

Paint, wheels, and lowering will fix the exterior. Interior on the other hand.....It shouldnt take much to get it in good shape.

 

i have my eyes on a set of black leather seats for it and im going to paint the door panels and center console all black and then just dye the carpet black.. cheapest way i know how to make it all black.

 

The cars I've had that I loved the most are the super cheap of free rides that just keep going and going like that one. I get really attached to em'. Nice job sir. I still miss my old 94 Tercel that had a second leaky engine in it that smoked when in reverse that I bought for $450 out of the paper I gave it to a friend and it's till on the road.

 

 

nice gotta love ppl that dont know enough about cars to work on them themselves lol at least that arent willing to try

 

OP, the car is a decent start. Needs a lot of work but for $650 you can't complain.

Enjoy it.

 

hey man i'm only like 4 hours from you. nice pickup for $650...

 

apparently maximas with rattle-can black paint jobs go cheap.....

 

your closer then 4 hours from me your only 234 miles from here to there and i can make it to ft. smith in about 3 1/2 hours

 

k, 3 hours then lol. it's been a long time since i've been out that way. how often do you make it out to ft. smith?

 

i havent been in a while but then again i havent had a reason to be out there in a while but now my wifes brother lives in clarksville right outside of russelville so might go over that way in the near future.. but i doubt it lol

 

no thanks, i got my hands full with my 95. if your trying to save a little scratch then i guess thats the way to go.

 

alot of work ahead of you, hope to see some nice progression

 

Apparently soo....dude was so upset bout the starter thing it wasn't even funny, but when we got it running thats when he really got mad lol.

 

that matte black look might look good.... if it was professionally done

 

Damn cant beat that price!!

 

DEKALB county FTW!!!
