After searching Craigslist for a couple of weeks and wasted countless hours looking at cars that are just complete junk, I finally found one that I like.

The care is pretty clean and at the price range I was looking for, so I bought it right on the spot.

There's just a couple of minor issues that need to be addressed but overall the car is in decent shape. First problem is the giant holes on the driver side carpet :/ Looks like a rat or a hungry bum ate through it (Picture #6). Second is the rear driver side suspension squeaks when you go over bumps. You can replicate the noise by pushing the rear of the car up and down. Does that mean that I need new shocks/struts? As far as the carpet goes, Nissan wants $600 for the new carpet :O












Need to replace carpet but don't have $600 + Labor

 

good pickup where in nj are you? and for the carpet you could get one from a junkyard and while youre theyre convert your interior to i30 leather

 

Looks clean, congrats on your new max

 

damn its really clean! how much did u pick it up for it u dont mind me asking?

 

Very clean. I am also from NJ and bought 96 Maxima 2 weeks ago.

 

I'm in South. Do you have a particular junk yard in mind?

 

$3530 after tax

 

real clean, nice catch

 

Very clean but I hate GXE's with a passion.

 

theres one in new egypt i go to called blaceys auto parts its a u pull it kind of junkyard and they are dirt cheap and what are your future plans?

 

Restore it to as new as possible.

 

Lookds good. Nice paint!...interior creeps me out !

 

Nice pick up! Clean and good mileage! You going to have to clean your battery terminals. One looks corroded. Clean it with backing soda, water, brush, and then apply vaseline....Im originally from central jersey. WAIT! You smell alittle like bacon. Just kidding. Are you a cop? If so, hook me up with a pba card...

 

Very clean maxima. I think you should find some leather seats

 

nice pickup just got a 99 gle black on black good luck with yours

 

I'd love to but i need to find a junk yard that have this car in stock

 

Bacon eh? You're going to need to save some of that Vaseline for yourself when you get pulled over

 

great pickup kroze looking great

 

Just an update:

As far as plans for the car, I just spent $682 ordering parts.

- I am replacing front & rear struts.
- Hood struts
- Both lower control arms
- Inner & outer tie rods
- sway bar bushings
- Antenna (mine's broke but the motor still runs)
- Clock (blank screen)
- Front & rear speakers (Kicker 6.5)

 

LMAO!!! Daaamn you ***ked me up with that one...

 

lmfao ! Good1

Btw, the squeak could also be a bushin.

 

Congrats on the new Max. Body looks clean as hell. Maxima's look funny without leather..

 

man thats one clean maxx! lots and lots of life in that sucker, its barely broken in at 117k miles!

what u pay for it.

 

I'm in south jersey to. There's a junkyard in williamstown on the black horse pike its a pick and pull they got a 99 max there wit good carpet I was just there a week ago. Can't think of the name rite now. But ill find out if u want it

 

I only know one in Berlin. It's on Cross Keys Road, new Berlin Farmer's Market

 

$600 for a new carpet?!?!??!

 

You could pick up a new carpet from stockinteriors.com

There's like 4 or 5 in williamstown just google junkyards in williamstown. Or try in cmd

 

Change so many? Because they have issues? I will watch what you do. I plan to change drive belts and radiator hoses.

 

Junkyard interior is a good idea or you canjust get some nice floor mats and call it a day. Not sure if you used them to buy your parts, but rockauto has some of the best prices for replacement/maintenance parts....inexpensive and ships out quick. NJ here too, piscataway, NJ. I have a buddy on the force. He covers sayreville down to brick I think.

 

I can feel the suspension is getting soft and on its way out. The car doesn't bottom out or anything but I can feel it's not as tight. May as well replace it and be done with it. It'll make the car ride like brand new again and should last me the life of the car (probably 200k miles)

Besides, it's a 12 year old car with 117k miles. I'm pretty sure all the rubber bushings and suspension parts are worn out.

I just went to the junk yard today and scored the Digital Clock (my digital clock doesn't work) and the Cup holders (my cup holder is missing some tabs on the bottom so it's kinda sitting loosely and not secured). Now i'm 2 steps closer to a completely clean max

 

nice pickup

 

New & working clock



New cup holder

 

you should have done the always illuminated clock mod

 

what's that?

 

very nice pick up.. reminds me of the mine when i first bought it (just in black lol)

 

did yuh get it with the full tank? good buy

 

No on the gas. I was sticker shocked when I filled this bad boy up from Empty.

$52!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so used to paying $11 every fill up on my sport bike

 

get used to the gas consumption, i use at least $50-60 a week driving around locally and my lead foot does'nt help either. i see a black leather interior in your future, that gray cloth is hideous. dont know what nissan was thinking, should have put black on black, but i guess joo gotta pay for luxury!!!!
