1990 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"GREAT first car and VERY reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver side power window would go down, but I had to manually pull it up. Others worked fine, but got stuck every once in a while when it rained. Power antnena broke. Clock stopped working (i had to bang on it to get it to come on). Needed new alternator. Besides that, just had to replace tires and that's about it. Repairs were cheap since I bought the parts (clock, antenna, power window regulator) at a junk yard.
General comments?
I bought the car for $1,800...I beat the crap out of this car and it still ran like a tank. After I was rear ended and side swiped in a 2 month span I didn't feel like repairing the car or putting any money into it. I drove it without a oil change for over 20K miles and it still ran good. One of the best investments I ever made. Great for a first car. Steering was good, but needed alignment. Very roomy and dependable. I drive a prelude now and I put more time and money in that car in a month than I ever did with the maxima... If you want a car for a very low price then GET A MAXIMA!!! Don't worry about high mileage because these cars can last well over 200,000 miles without any serious mechanical problems. A+++++
