1999 Nissan Maxima LX review from North America

"The best car ever built"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission changed at 300k when I changed the clutch. That's 300k though, so I guess that would be expected.

Never had problems with the coils like everyone else, but I maintain the car and have changed the spark plugs regularly.

The arm rest leather wore out, once again 300k+, so that armrest has seen a lot of elbow.

Replaced the windshield wiper arm. I tried to clear snow off the windshield, so that was my fault.

Blew the alarm fuse and thought it was the chip in the key. I was about to tow it when I checked all the fuses and found that 35 was blown.

Honestly there has not been too many problems that aren't regular.

People stop crying about the coilpack change; it and the car will last you a good 400k.

General comments?

400k FOUR HUNDRED KILOMETERS and counting. This is by far the best car I have ever owned. No oil leaks. Changed some parts like the tranny, but come on, 400k. My friends are always in shock when I show them how many k's are on the car, and it still drives and looks new. There's some minor rust in the front near the wheel, but nothing major.

These cars go for under $5000 now, and are worth every penny. My car is proof that a Nissan Maxima will last forever. I am still driving it at 400k. I will update when it dies to give the actual life of the car.
