1999 Maxima SE (5-Spd) :Located in So. California

I am the second owner of this maxima, bought it for $14,500 from a guy in Pasadena, CA. in October of 2002 with 45,000 miles on it. Now has 104,450 miles on it. Very good condition and is a clean title. I bought a Toyota pick up truck for work and don't need the maxima anymore. Can't afford the insurance on both cars and most importantly, I don't need two. Located in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

I took it to the dealership for all its major services until end of 2006 when I realized I was being price gouged on prices. In that time I was taking it there, I had the full 60k tune-up done, new brakes end of Nov. 2005(85,000 miles), a few transmission and radiator flushes, new clutch slave and master cylinders, resurfaced flywheel.

The only modifications I've made to this car were a K&N Air life time filter(cleaned recently), and a stainless steel warpspeed y-pipe (installed January 2007) and a brand new OBDII Calif. certified (installed february 2008). The car passed smog on February 2/23/2008.

I've only had 2 problems with this car: had difficulty passing smog 2 years ago due to catalytic converter gone bad. I replaced it with a new one and the clutch reservoir seems to have a slow leak in it. I have to check/fill it up every 6-8 weeks. I have a brand new stainless steel clutch line to fix it but have not got around to putting it on.

The cosmetic scars on this car are light and are as followed:

-Driver side back passenger door has a bit of a rub from my dad pulling out his truck parallel to me and rubbing against the back door. It didn't cause a dent or any paint coming off but a bit of a rubbing scratch which is noticeable in light. (also this same door has a couple small minor dents it looks like from getting tapped from other car doors in parking lots)

-Passenger side front door has a minor scrape (shopping kart or some a-hole with a key?) it is not thick and measures in length maybe 10 inches. Not too noticeable, looks like someone dragged a key lightly across, right under the window. Seriously hard to see unless really looking for it.

-Passenger side review mirror has a small chip out of it from me backing out of my front yard in the morning time and clipping the recyclable bin with the mirror. Nothing wrong with the mirror electronics or the mirror itself. Just a small chip out of the holder. I was very tired that morning and didn't even notice the chip until earlier last year.

-Passenger side windows have baked water spots in them, mostly back one. Probably very easy to get out but I don't have the time to find out or do it.

Other than these blemishes, the cars paint still looks great and has been waxed a couple of times a year since ive owned it. Car is in real good condition and taken the best care of it while I've owned it. Two brand new front tires 'RIKEN_Raptors' put on 2/25/08. I am asking $4,999 OBO. Need to sell, will take the best offer, thanks for looking.
