This is my new winter beater. Ad said it was an SE but it sure looks like a GXE to me, no fogs, chrome door handles and trim. But at the same time it's got full Bose, which I didn't think were options on GXEs but maybe I'm wrong. 168k miles on it, car runs pretty poorly right now. Anything under 1/3 throttle and above 2000rpms is ok, but below 2000 it stumbles over itself, and if you give it more than about 1/3 throttle it stumbles over itself also, and you can't really get it above 3500rpm if you are flooring it, but if you back off the throttle it will accelerate as normal. So obviously something is going on with it, but it runs and has been reliable for the guy he drove it about 1800 miles round trip to North Carolina from Michigan. Everything works on it, interior is pretty nasty but a few hours of cleaning could get it lookin good again. Came with two sets of rims and tires (snows and regulars), and a new front bumper which is sitting in the back seat right now.

 

neal, is that the winter beater?

 

Oops how did this get in here

 

is that the Krylon pearl white?

 

nice hood prop and HID.

 

is that how much insurance says it worth?

**** i'd buy it, and fix it back up (if I had money saved up) that would be my pet project max.

 

Not as bad as I thought it would be.

 

Why not use the blue beater maxima?

 

It is a 5spd too

 

95/96 GXE could get Bose, Sunroof, ect....
Very rare.


I could fix that beast up

 

wow thats what 3 maxes so far neal?

 

total sleeper neal.....
good luck w/ her

 

Poor old girl. Some people just have no clue how to take care of a car. Good luck with it!

 

thats a beater wit lots of potential....chrome door handles, no fogs? def GXE. Dude must have saw spoiler and thought it was an SE...do u have the 3rd light in the back? hard to see from pics....

 

I thought it'd be a lot worse than it actually is. Good luck with the fix up.

 

I love those rims you got.

 

that winter beater is a twin too my maxima

 

I have one of those rare models

 

I looked for Maxima winter beater too, but just wasn't happy with what I could find (I wanted something reliable), so now I'm driving a Buick Century

 

1100 bux very well spent IMO.

 

pretty sic.. i want one.

 

the blue beater looks slow........

 

that's a sweet deal for $1100....i'm loving the paint job

 

I would have bought that for $1100 for the winter. Then brought it to Maaco and sold it in the spring. I thought it was dirty at first but I think he was just going for camoflauge style.

 

Like my brother (as some of you know ) .. when I got my Max back from him earlier this year, I was about ready to kill him w/ the condition he left it, but after $1000 spent on mechanical & maintenace items, several weekends on interior/exterior cleanup during the spring, and 9 months later, its almost like new

good luck w/ the beater, Neal .. keep us updated on your progress w/ it

 

Am I the only one who can't see the picture?

 

What is up with you and your maxima's having no grills...........

 

What is really funny is that Neal is missing 4 front teeth as well

 

Not bad at all for a $1100. From the pics it looks like it just needs a new grille, maybe some replacement headlights and a bit of TLC.

 

 

maybe he has a turbo sittin under there somewhere

i think he is just lying about the white max running shyty

 

yea i have a gxe with bose,winter package, security package,sun roof,third brake light and power driverside seat with wing the only thing it didnt come with was nice rims had hub caps

 

Not bad, still looks like most of the maximas around here.. they're all beat up.

 

i agree....mine has 2 big fat dents that i've bin too lazy to fix.

 

are any of your old mods going on the beater?

 

eh not as bad as i thought... treat her well

 

It is a 5-speed? If so, 5-speed GXE's come with nothing better than a tape deck (at least that is how my GXE was) and zero options.

 

yeah me too sun roof and spoiler
nice find 1100 really isnt bad

 

If it Last a year i think you got your moneys worth $1100 is a good deal

 

You should fix it up and sell it and make a profit...
