Wanted to change sway bar end link bushings tonight, but the laziness got the best of me and decided to post ***** a bit
Been here since 2001 !!! time goes by quick

Nice! its always good to hear people still have these as dailies. Of course there are the OG modders about but the only mod I have done to mine is change out some lights and threw in a strut bar. 196K and still running. Though leaking oil from the valve covers, easy enough to swap. Keep it running Maxima Brother!

Hey, glad to hear I'm not the only one. Bought her new in Nov 98 and 172k later and still kicking strong as my daily driver too.
Wish I could work on her but the 18" of snow we got on Sunday/Monday stalled the plans for a little bit.

Purchased new in March 1999, 175,000 miles later it's still a DD.
I've only seen a check engine on 2x, both times for coil packs. Other then that, it's like the energizer bunny. Just keeps on running and running and running...

Bought my '98 in '99 with 20K on it and put 225k miles on it. Got T-boned - car totaled.
Bought my '99 in '05 with 70K on it and put 230k miles on it. Got rear-ended tonight.
Not happy.

Yep, still a daily driver. Bought my 99 SE 5 speed in July 2004 with 98k and today has 202k. Still runs and looks absolutely beautiful. Check engine light came on today FOR THE FIRST TIME!! I have a friend who swears by BMW. I hear from a German car owners that they have endless electrical issues..

My neighbor owns a 2000 528i. The battery failed him just DAYS after his warranty expired. Twice he put a new battery in, and each time, it failed him after a month. He moved to New Jersey, but they havent sold their old house yet, and that car's just chillin since no one would take it from him. What a shame...
Simply one more reason to own a Maxima.
