97 MAXIMA SE FOR SALE, 260K ORIGINAL MILES, AUTO, LEATHER, FULL POWER, PARTS REPLACED DURING ALL THOSE YEARS...MUFFLER (TWICE), BOTH FRONT STRUTS, DASHBOARD, ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM - (NEW RADIATOR, HOSES, THERMOSTAT), STARTER, AXEL, ROTORS & PADS, GOOD TIRES. ENGINE AND TYRANNY ARE GOOD. I USE HIGH MILE 10W30 OIL SINCE I OWNED IT AT 189K. ENGINE HAS BEEN RAN THROUGH SEA FOAM AS WELL AS THE INJECTORS. AFTER OIL CHANGE YOU WILL NOTICE IT STAYS CLEANER LONGER. REPLACED THE DOOR HANDLES BECAUSE KEY TO OPEN SIZED UP, ITS BEGINNING TO START AGAIN. CLUSTER WAS REPLACED TO PASS EMISSIONS TROUBLE CODE. COMES WITH 96 SE TRUNK LID BECAUSE OF RUST ON TRUNK, WAS GOING TO REPLACE THIS SUMMER.....HAS RUST & ROT IN COMMON AREAS BUT HAS BEEN TREATED A FEW YEARS BACK, MAY NEED TREATING AGAIN, WINTER SALT IS HARSH. LEAK IN EXHAUST BETWEEN STRAIGHT PIPE END & MUFFLER BEGIN, I PATCHED UP BUT IS LEAKING AGAIN... EMISSIONS DID PASS BUT LIGHT IS BACK ON, SHOULDN'T COST MUCH TO PASS. POWER STEERING HAS A SLOW LEAK SO STAY ON TOP OF IT. A/C DOESNT WORK, THINK I BLEW SOME SORT OF PRESSURE RELEASE BUT DID WORK BEFORE, COMPRESSOR SHOULD WORK. HEAT WORKS BUT IF IT DROPS BELOW 30 IT CANT AS HOT AS I THINK IT SHOULD, NOT SURE WHY. I KNOW I'M RAMBLING ON ABOUT "PROBLEMS" BUT IF YOU HAVE EVER OWNED THESE CARS YOU KNOW THEY ARE TANKS! IVE OWNED FOUR, 4TH GENERATION MAXIMA'S AND I HAVE NEVER REPLACED MAJOR PART, EVER! SIMPLE COMMON ITEMS, BREAKS, EXHAUST, STARTER, ECT. THE MOTOR WAS DECLARED ONE OF THE BEST EVER BUILT AS A V-6 AND THE CAR WAS A MOTOR TREND CAR OF THE YEAR WHEN IT FIRST DROPPED IN THE MID 90'S. TRULY AN AMAZING VEHICLE, IVE OWNED THEM FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW, BUT THIS ONE MUST GO. KBB VALUE OVER $1,500, (I CANT ADD THE LINK BUT YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT) ALSO, CAR WAS GIVEN TO MY MOTHER, TECHNICALLY THEIR WAS 4 OWNERS, WAS IN OUR FAMILY FOR OVER 4 YEARS. FORGOT TO MENTION THE RADIO HAS BEEN UPDATED TO BLUETOOTH & USB. ANTENNA IS BROKEN, I PLACED AN INSIDE MOUNT ABOVE THE INTERIOR WINDSHIELD BUT IT DOESN'T WORK WELL. :( I USE MY IPOD AND PANDORA MORE THAN RADIO SO WASN'T A NUANCE FOR ME. WILL COME WITH ORIGINAL CLUSTER TO KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE ON CAR.
