so yea... after a bunch of pondering... i finally bought the maxima...
a silver 6sp SE maxima... drove it home... very nice power... didnt need to downshift out of 6th for anything... i had no freakin idea how to put the car in reverse... i started freaking out... thought that reverse gear was missing... it almost came to a point where i was gonna step outside and push the car backwards..... but i made it by a couple inches.... i read the manual when i got home n figured it out.


its a 118,000 miles $8600 OTD after tag, title ,tax i think i made an ok deal on it...

did notice a few issues on the way to driving it... seems like minor stuff except for 2... was wondering if you guys wanted to take a pic at it.


1) At night on the AC controls around 3-4 buttons didnt have a backlight... while the others did

2) The backlight on the speado is pretty dim and faded... even at full brightness

3) shifting into 4th and 5th... were a bit harsh... i could feel heavier clunks.. although the stick wasnt shaking... car didnt act weird... just the feedback to my hand

4) when im turning at a semi decent speed 30mph plus... i hear a tiny squeel comming from the front

 

Woot... the pics are up...

glad to be a part of the org family

 

I see no pics.

 

Me neither

 

sorry... i got hit with the 5 max pics allowed rule...



<--- owned.

 

you guys still cant see?

 

Nice,where do you live?

 

Wow. Nice and clean insideout

 

ft lauderdale

 

yea i was surprised... especially for the miles on it... the interior is what i was sold on.

 

Very nice. I have an extra pair of the front clear bumper lights if you are interested. I'll let them go for cheap. I think you got a good deal!

 

Nice! I bought an 03 that looks pretty much the same as yours even the interior. I don't even want to fart in this car it's so nice.

 

the leather looks a bit yellow, might wanna detail it nicely
other than that
congrats

 

Fart....My A/C filter smells terrible. I think I should change it.

 

I think he got a forest leather.

 

you mean a clear replacement those orangeside turnsignals?...


if not... why would i need any other kinda of lights?...

 

hehe..... already farted and broke her in..

but yea... the car still has the leather smell.....lovin it... i feel like a million bucks sitting in there.

 

gonna give it a leather cleaning... and carpet shampoo....

gotta do some thourogh research... dont wanna put the wrong brandnames on her....

 

Congrats and welcome to the ORG! The max looks great.

 

looks nice , by the way drop the 4x4 to the floor.

 

Nice ride. Enjoy the 6 speed. I know I do

 

Wow that a great price considering what condition its in even with all the miles. Congrats

 

Great buy, enjoy it, she/he is a beast!

 

Rule #14...

Read the rules!

I don't think we need a new thread every time someone buys a Maxima, we all know what a stock Maxima looks like.

 

I don't think the emphasis here is on the pictures of his car; Instead, I believe he is stating that he is very happy with his new purchase and he had some inquiries about the small issues that he had noticed on his drive home. The pictures are just a bonus for us while we try to help answer his questions about the issues.

To the OP, very very nice looking max, you are going to love it. You don't meet many max owners that aren't happy.

 

You mean the questions that have been answered 400x and he could easily find the answer if he just searched a little bit...

 

congrats on the Max and welcome to the org

 

Welcome and congrats, sometimes I wish I had that color interior in the summer when my black leather is boiling.

 

Very Nice! I for one like to see stock maxima's, I'm new to maxima ownership and I like to see how different models came from the factory.

 

For the seats, Lexol is your friend.

 

Nice purchase that sounds like a great deal, your car is the exact twin of mine! Does it have the Meridian Package (heated steering wheel, seats)? 4th to 5th is a bit clunky I agree, the shifter itself is pretty clunky and takes some getting used to but it still shifts nice I think. As for the backlight on the gauges, I've noticed they just aren't very bright ever I just think that's the way they are.

 

This site is semi-hard to search for something as specific as the problems as he is having.. It is not as easy as typing "Intake" or "Exhaust", you know what I mean?

 

It's actually very easy... It's called donating.

 

 

nice man, same car as me but i got charcoal interior. as for the dim gauges, its normal. the backlighting on it sucks. the squeel i'm not sure about, but maybe your shocks? cuz that was what my friend's benze did and it was shocks that were the problem.

good luck with the car!

 

I would also agree to that if the donations were priced better. I support other sites becuase they allow payments of 5 or 10 dollars. Anything more is not reasonable to me.

 

Seriously. If you had a problem with your maxima and you didn't want to bring it to the dealership and you found the fix on this site which saved you... who knows how many hundreds of dollars..... 20 bucks is nothing. :stfu:

To the OP, nice ride and welcome to the org!

 

In which case, I would simply ask in the noobie thread, for free. I would save even more money.

 

sweet looking ride!

 

It's cheapness like this that has dragged the Org down considerably...

I have zero problem donating $20 to a web page that has literally saved me thousands of dollars over the years. Between vendor discounts for the Org and the money I have saved from having to go to the dealer/shops to do things this web page more than warrants the donation.
