BAD:
-Hood clear peeling on carbon fiber

-Car has been wrecked awhile back, I pulled the Upper radiator support out and put it into shape, the hood latch does not latch but the carbon fiber hood has hood pins so this hasn’t been an issue for me.
R34's are currently zip-tied in because I had previously cut out all the brackets to fit my cefiro headlights lol
-Radiator is leaking a bit, I will fix this issue if necessary.

Its hard to tell what a maxima is worth our car's dont really hold value. Best thing is to partout all your aftermarket parts then sell car as is. But i think between $2k and 2500$k you could get

Ups And downs
Downs: High Milage
When the person buys it its gonna be Bought not Built
Ups: It has Mods
00vi
Intake
Perfect Condition Interior
Has that touch screen
Rims
Carbon Fiber Hood
etc.
You'd Look like a street racer if you just have your car parked in CVS.
Well Look I truthfully couldnt buy this because it has too much mods. I just want the 00vi. I want mine Built not bought.
Price of Your max 4000 +
I find maxs with no mods higher then 4000 so good luck.

The main thing a seller is going to look at is 219,000 miles.
As much money as you have put into it, it doesn't really increase value. Unfortunately :/
Maybe if you can find a maxima enthusiast to buy it you might get a little more because they know what some of the parts are worth, but the prices about seem about right.

priced at over 4000 but nobody buys them at that price. market is tough these days, like most people said... realistically its probably 2k-3k. which means thats what most people will offer you. but list your car at like 4 or 4.5k everybody does that.
#21
$1000 sell it to me now, just kidding my 2000 maxima has like 217000 and to be honest Im not even planning on selling it cuz nobody will give much for it, IM just waiting until engine dies and get a low mileage motor and turbocharge that beast oh yeah!

Keep in mind that I've thrown $$$1,000s in this car on maintenence. Clutch, transmission swap, alternators, starters, batteries, wheel bearings and hubs, ugh when I think about it makes me sick to my stomach!
#24
really??
I paid 3,900 for the car +234 taxes = $4,134 total back in 2004. If I can get half back at $2,067 for the car, back in stock oem form...and then sell all mods for roughly 1K. I'd say that's doing pretty well.

alternatorsss, startersss, batteriesss man how many times have you replace all of this???? lol, well just to let you know and to make you feel good, maintance is something that you always have to do to your car no matter what and is not only you thats everybody, performance is something that we add because we want our cars to sound good and also to make it look good but that is just a personal hobbie, just I will say do a part out and look at the value of your car on kbb.com or whatever, post it at craigslist.com with a price a little bet higher from whatever value your car is worth and that it, good luck, Im DONE
