One of the best built cars ever. Bought mine back in 97 and i still drive it today. Its got just under 400,000 km and still running strong! GREAT CARS!
smoked halos and smoked led tails would look great on this car. Also you can paint the wheels black with gloss paint, with sanding and priming done first ofcourse. Then adding clear. Saw a dude here to it to his wrangler, probly cheap.
nice thats clean! i have a '96 maxima that ive tricked out, with all the bells and whistles haha! its pretty sweet, i got 207000 miles and its still goin like a champ. i just got its dents and ding fixed and repainted. it looks sexy now! anyways, nice car, never get rid of it! lol
@The1FastGP no video of it yet, its in the shop (i work there lol) im going to hopefully fix it tomorrow... once the rain stops, ill wash her up and shoot a video to put up on youtube.
I just bought one for $3250 for my nephew, it's a surprise for his birthday coming up in January. It's hidden at my friends house, he just needs to get his license which he's currently studying on. The Maxima has 110,000mi I bought it from an older couple (they normally take care of their cars) and it's in excellent shape, I drive it discreetly so he wouldn't see me. I have a 2010 Maxima and I have always loved these cars!
These are great cars. I bought my '97 Maxima GLE in 1999 off a two year lease with 35k on the meter. It just turned 197k and runs like new. Mine is this same color dark brown--they call it rosewood--with black leather interior. Only disappointment was that the Bose system crapped out at 70,000 miles. Had to replace with SONY after market system. Car has been mostly trouble free. Still runs like a greyhound with his tail on fire and still one of the best looking cars on the road today.
My grandfather had a 1996 black and he loved the car, except he went through about 5 batteries. He traded it in for a 2000 silver Maxima. After that, he got a 2005 Maxima, and now he drives a 2010 Maxima. I drive a 2008 Nissan Altima and absolutely love it!
My mom had one of these when I was growing up (hers was a 97 in the dark green). She really loved that car, and so did I! Too bad it was a lease.. Every Nissan she's owned she really loved.
I'm thinking of getting one as my next car... my 17-year old Sunny is rusted now and needs to be off the road (I live in Germany). Nissan has some problems with rust I guess, but are perfectly reliable otherwise...
Did you detail this guys car as a payback for him helping you jump off the battery in ur old Lexus ES350 or did you just tell him you detailed cars and he just asked you to do it? haha
Great review, my 95 Maxima has 252,000 miles on it and drives like a bat out of hell with that 3.0L V6. I'm getting 28 mpg and loving every bit of it. Power + fuel efficiency VQ engine FTW!
nice how do you keep front bumber so clean ? mine is crapy but in good condition i have 200,210 miles on mine and full tank i get 443 miles , wierd to me .
my dad has an '01 maxima he loves, i like it to & he alwasy has to say something about Honda not being up here with the higher quality nissans. most of the time its pretty funny
@thadd05 Im pretty sure you mean the 3.5VQV6DE was the award winning engine, But the 3.0 is just as good i bet.
Here's actualy a direct quote from them.
For the ninth year in a row, Nissan's versatile VQ V6 engine has been named to the annual "Ward's Ten Best Engines" award list by Ward's Communications, Inc. The VQ is the only engine to make the list every year the list has been compiled.
In the 2003 model year, the 3.5-liter VQ V6 is available in eight different Nissan&Infiniti vehicles
That clicking noise is perfectly normal for a VQ30 engine. You can reduce it however with Mobil 1 full synthetic and/or Lucas Oils or Lucas Oil Treatment. VQ series engines are probably one of the smoothest V6 engines around. Trust me I got a 2000 Max.
looks like my cousins 96 used maxima that has SO MANY PROBLEMS, he's had it since... A long time?..., the front of the 96 maximas freak me out, i mean comon! its smiling! i had a night mare it was TALKING TO ME
I AGREE for the most part... ONLY ONE ACCEPTION i have this same car 98 nissan maxima 120 miles. BLACK car with the black bra SO SEXY... black interior leather seats heated seats luxury edition digital temperature control. all black leather / vinyl nothing but black plus my bra has taller windbreakers that look very even and give it a meaner look
I also noticed while you were driving, the temperature gauge suddenly dropped down to zero and then slowly went back up to normal. My '97 VW Passat's fuel gauge does that once in a while.
oh woops, sorry, I used different video clips and flipped them around haha, it didn't actually do that :P it just got flipped flopped the way I had to record it
Kely i think u hate nissan car , aren't u ?
