Replaced front ball joint, air conditioning marginal, the clear coat finish this model year was very poor.
This has been a great car. Totally reliable and fun to drive (manual transmission).
I bought my 1990 Maxima 5 years ago, now have 122,000 miles on it and it runs flawlessly.
Yes, of course the digital clock only works when I'm in a bad mood, and the power antenna stopped retracting last year, but, what an awesome car. I take a 700 mile trip every other weekend up the Columbia River Gorge to Eastern Oregon, and with a good set of Michelins, the only way to travel. Even on snow and ice!

I have an SE 5 speed Maxima and I have put 100,000 kilometers on it in the past year.
The only thing I've changed is the tires, alterator, and heater fan. This is the best car ever made (maybe beside the new ones) and I am planning on buying a new Pathfinder or a 2001 SE Maxima. I love Nissan!!
