1992 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"Affordable performance, sporty looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission @ 102000.
Basic consumables (brakes, hoses, battery, etc.)
General comments?
Overall, I am generally happy with this car. I experienced a complete transmission failure at 102K miles, but since the car was a "hand-me-down" and didn't cost me anything, I chalked this one up to actually paying for the car. I read many of the reviews, and haven't seen anyone else complaining of tranny problems. I couldn't spring for a complete tranny rebuild, so I opted for having a used tranny installed. ($900 vs. $2200). Was just looking for any input from people who own this car and have had similar tranny failure, or if anyone has ever had a bad experience with a professionally installed used tranny.
