FS: 97 Maxima. Auto. Great DD
97 Maxima. Black with grey cloth interior. Automatic. Sunroof.
Pics from the morning after I bought it





Bought it with 92k miles then come to find it out it actually had 192k miles. Currently has 194k. Autocheck showed it was sold with 189k miles a few months ago.
Here is what was done to the car in the past few months of owning it:
99 SE Rims
Tinted windows all around (legal) (Paid $150)
Compu-Star 2way LED Remote start ($300)
New Hood struts ($40)
RainX wipers ($30)
BOTH rear calipers replaced with rebuilt ones from autozone ($250-$300)
Rear pads and rotors replaced. Still have the receipt so you can warranty them out if need be.
Front brakes are HAWK pads and REAL Brembo Rotors. Stops great!! ($150)
Fresh oil change and filter
WeaponR intake pipe. Car had a filter on it already ($25)
New PCV valve ($4)
New fuel filter ($8)
New oil switch ($8)
New battery tie down ($5)
New trans screen and fluid change ($20+)
Corner lights painted orange ($8)
New front grill ($20)
New front Eagle Eye headlights. (2 pair, 1 is retrofitted with integra projectors, almost done) ($120)
Ebay Y pipe and Ebay Headers installed ($160)
HID 35watt 5000k kit ($60)
2 new front tires. Have about 5k miles on them
Suspension replaced all around by previous owner. He also cleaned the maf and egr.
Interior:
Alpine headunit ($85)
MB Quart front components ($55)
Pioneer 3way rear speakers
Blue 5way Gauge cluster lights (no hot spots)
LED Map light. Very bright
LED Dome light. Very bright
Details:
Sounds like I still have a small exhaust leak and rattle.
Previous owner also did a new lower oil pan gasket.
VSS replaced by previous owner.
The Speedo needle stops working intermittently so I would recommend a new gauge cluster. The lights on the hvac control are out, but I have new LED ones. Just no time to put them in. The car needs a radio antenna. I put in a window mount one but it sucks. If anyone can point me to a new antenna I'll buy it.
I have 2 codes, one is for the o2 sensor and the other is that something in the egr needs to be cleaned by the driver tire. I don't know.
Power steering is leaking but not much. I have yet to have to fill it. Few drops here and there.
Sorry no recent pics.

I don't think I forgot anything. I have put a lot of time into this car so far and it runs great. Just needs a few odds n ends.
As you can see I have added well over $1000 into this car. I just threw in some prices where I remember what I paid for parts, the rest I forget what I paid for. Considering how much I paid for this and how much I put into it, I know I'm going to loose my ***.
$3500obo can have it.
And a new red top optima battery.
Looking to jump into a civic or accord, must be auto and 4cyl. "might" consider another v6, but rather have a i4.
