honestly I've been getting tired of my max, just because of all the little problems that **** u off, but if u wanted a G35 and all those fast cars, u shouldn't have bought a family sedan in the first place... if u can afford those cars, just go out an get one... if u can't afford it, then thats too bad cause life isn't fair and we have to be happy with what u got unless u want otherwise

I am not unhappy with it. Bulletproof engine and great gas mileage with very good horsepower. Very low cost to maintain. I would get another with lower mileage as mine has 274k miles. Those other cars wish they could last as long.

My 99 is paid for, runs awsome, gets excellent gas mileage, looks great and is fun to drive.
The last thing I want is a car payment just because my friends are driving newer cars.

i couldnt be happier with my 95 gle. 140k and runs awesome.
this is my first car, ive had it for 5 years, and it will be a sad sad day when it dies.....in another 100k. think about that. i dont see very many bimmers or benzs with nearly that kinda mileage.
and in my opinion, the 97-99 SE's are some of the best looking cars ive ever seen.
i think youd find you could tune up your max for considerably less than buying a new car. that is to say, you could match the performance of a g35 without spending the 34k.
my maxima has turned me into a nissan/infiniti guy for life.

If you want the fastest car, then go buy the fastest car. Its not about having the fastest car with a max. Maxs can kick other cars around the block, but can steal be beat. But, your getting wayyyy better gas milage. Plus it looks good stock, and with some mods it looks even better. It lasts forever, as mine is at 203k and still running great. If you want a faster car, go buy one. As for me, I love my car to death, and until it gets too expensive to keep then I'll sell it. And buy another max.

i love mine, even though the ac doesn't work, odometer/tripometer doesn't work, tach doesn't work, makes a loud *** whining noise, hood is bashed up, missing a fog and corner light, rear spoiler light doesn't work has a bad 02 sensor and cylinder 4 sometimes misfires. Other than that it's a great car and honestly all these problems are things I could fix...if I had more $$$ haha It will get me thru college tho. had it for 6 years and have more than a 1/4 million miles on it. don't know exactly cause the odometer has been broken for a while. lol I'm strongly considering buying another one when this dies tho...

I love my 95 Max. Although I wish I could afford to have some minor body work and paint done.. oh yeah and a 3.5 engine.
Think about it for $3,000 you can have the same 3.5L engine as the new Nissans. Thats a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a G35, Altima, Maxima, etc. And I still think my 95 interior beats the interiors of these newer cars.

It's a love/hate relationship. On bad days I want to slap a for sale sign on it and upgrade to something newer and nicer. Then on other days I can't bear the thought of parting with it. Mine has 216,000 mi, is in great condition inside and out, and it never misses a beat. It's been garaged it's whole life and has never been smoked in. I'd feel guilty to let it go to someone else who probably wouldn't take care of it as well as I have.

im unhappy with it cause its automatic, white, and needs body work. none i can change/fix because i dont have any money. i get out of school in 7 months and then will be workin in a shop and hopefully making enough money to finance a car or something. ive put probably about $4500 into my max and i paid $6800 for it. i dunno about for everyone else, but that just doesnt seem worth it to me.
too bad i didnt have much of a choice when i baught it =/ ....ive also learned to NEVER buy an auction car.

Wow,its kinda funny cause I could have bought a newer car but chose to buy the max,when I was 16 I wanted a new 95 max sooo bad but couldnt afford one then.After a dozen or so cars since then,I'm 28 now, I was looking to get back into a car after most of my recent vehicles were SUV's,an Expedition being the last and with gas prices the way they are now and a baby on the way, I had to ditch it.Thought about the max right away and wanted to take the money and put it down on a new max but payments arent what I was loking for and I came across the the 97...fell in love.Bought it about 2 months ago and havent been able to do any of the little mods I would like to but this site has shown me soo much stuff I cant make my mind up yet about where to start.She dont look fancy,its an automatic with 180,000 on her but the interior is pristine and exterior is about 90% clean...it was garaged and 1005 when I got it but I live in South Philly so people have harsh methods of parking so I have a few scuffs on the bumpers but other than that I love it. She needs a knock sensor and an axle boot,maybe an axle by now,been clicking for a few weeks but I absolutely love it.This is the coolest forum Ive seen for max's,I'm not sure what the actual color is called but its beige like,no wing,which I really want,the stock one not some top fuel looking thing and would like to get some better shoes for it,nothing chrome as thats not my taste but something in a 17,maybe a satin finish.Well sorry for rambling as I'm new to here but just my 2 cents

order a nx wet kit. dont tell your friends you have it, and next time they casually hit the gas and go to pass you like they always do, you just hit the switch 
: and give them a nice suprise as you **** all over them 
You'll have them all getting tuneups thinking that something is wrong with their car.

Sometimes I feel the same way, but I think i love the maxima so much because not so many people have it. I like having something unique. Once I make alot of money, Im gonna get more cars, but I wanna make the max super clean and fast. I always dream about insane things, like doing a skyline conversion, making it look like the 4 door skylines. rear wheel drive. Or trying to put a 97 240sx front end on, or skyline. I dont even know if that ****s possible, but its would be awesome to do crazy stuff to it and inspire other people to buy a car that isn't known as a sports car.
