Hey guys, I'm new to Maximas, I used to drive a 95 Eclipse 5 spd. and I had to get ride of it cause it had too many problems + i needed more room, lol. I just bought a 99 Maxima SE, automatic, with 34K miles, all possible options except for heated seats and traction control. I payed 11,000. Is that a good deal? Will I have any problems with Maxima like I had with dsm?

thats a good deal...does it have a bad title or been in an accident, thats fairly cheap for a 99 SE

 

No, it doesnt have a bad title, but it was hit in the back, the body shop that fixed it did an excelent job, and I doesnt pull to sides or any thing like that

 

Welcome to the club!

i think thats a good deal.I bought my 99 se with 20,275 miles for 18,500 from the dealer last year.The only problem with my car was the back bumper had some scratches on it

 

Good deal.

Nice car too... Welcome to the family.

 

Mitsubishi went through some tough times where quality control is concerned (I don't know the exact period) but the new Mitsubishi products have had their acts cleaned up quite a bit.

The '99 Max is a good vehicle - you should expect relatively trouble-free operation if you drive modestly and stick to the maintenance schedule. Even some guys here who flog their Max's pretty hard have had pretty good reliability. The bottom line is, you're starting off with a pretty high quality package for a car in it's class.

Price depends on where you are located & availability in your local market, but generally 11k seems like a pretty reasonable price depending on how hard it was "stuffed" in the rear and how bad the damage was.

Enjoy!

 

Good deal! Nice choice on color i might add.

 

thats a damn good deal but something sounds funny...go to www.carfax.com and investigate!!

 

Yeah, I checked out carfax and it looks like I'm the second owner, it doesn't say anything about the accident, or the car being salvage, or a lemon. I didnt have time to do lot of research before i bought the car because i needed a car really bad. Thats why I'm asking about maxima after i bought it.

P.S I'm glad I got ride of my Eclipse, even thou it had 20K miles, I had to get a new tranny, power steering pump, oil pressure sensor, new radiator, all of that withing 6 months. Hopefully nothing like that will happen to my new maxi, DSM already drained my pocket a lot. lol

 

well i dont wanna rain on ya parade but if you wreck it in state a and take it to state b you can get a clean title..

 

I got my 95 se fully equiped w/ heated seats, 65k on it for 6k, second owner, clean title.

 

Welcome to the crew man, NOW GET SOME DAMN CLEAR CORNERS(diamond cut)

 

Welcome! ...and that is a real nice lookin car...and I'm with GTRBlkMax97...get some diamond cut clears...they'll look great on your car (or any max for that matter)

 

dont forget the eibachs!!!! oh and the 20% tint..than the ladies will be in your car before you waiting..

 

Good deal. You still have the powertrain warranty left so anything major should be covered.
