what should I look for apart from the normal rust, axles stuff?

Thanks, would really appreciate any input.

thanx

3rd Gens still rule Though!

 

Really aren;t many if any red flags for this gen Maxima. Teh 95 had some issues with )2 sensors and other minor stuff, but in the past 7 years those issues would have appeared and been fixed. Otherwise just look for records and enjoy. The GXEs can usually be had for very reasonable prices. I have a 95 GXE I bought new. 120K on it and it runs fine.

 

I would say 97's had bad altenators but actually Nissan is have a recall on them now so you can get it taken care of for free anyway. Overall it is a very nice gen.

Red ones only come in 99 SE-L's

 

True that, but on the cover of my haynes manual theres a red 95-96 max?

 

I dont think it is red though as much as it is a mix between red and brown. Odd color.

dookie colored 4th gen....lol

 

I have the book right in front of me..and ur right. It looks EXACTLY like a crimson blaze but on the back picture its pure maroon.


Anyway...
VQ's last a h3ll of a long time if well maintained.

 

if you but a 4th gen i'll gladly take that 3rd gen off your hands!

 

3rd gen is staying in the family....sisters getting it ....love it too much to sell!

 

i'll be your 'sister' if i can have it. lol

 

Don't make the same mistake I did, get a 5 spd.
