1990 Nissan Maxima M 3.0 V6

Summary:

DEFINITE chick magnet!!

Faults:

Power antenna broke

Heater not working.

General Comments:

A Great car, fast and handles great!

I got mine at a young age pretty much, the car will be 16 years old this year and has only done 154,000 KILOMETERS!! God bless ex company cars ;)

Can be thirsty so I'm always forking out money for fuel on this bad boy!

Other than the costs involved with this car, Its great value for money for its styling and level of luxury.

Last, but not least, this thing is a DEFINITE chick magnet, especially when you dropped it on 18" chrome rims with a dark window tint ;)

1990 Nissan Maxima Ti 3 litre V6

Summary:

Has a monster of an engine

Faults:

The main problem is the speedometer. It has a mind of its own. Sometimes it will work or get stuck at a certain speed or completely drop out all together. Have spent over $500 trying to get it fixed and it still doesn't work right.

Alternator died at 165 000km.

Parts are very expensive as they have to come from America.

General Comments:

This car is extremely quick - cost me my license.

Have had it up to 180kph and it was still going.

Handles extremely well.

However, when you give it a bit coming out of a corner, the front end feels really light.

1990 Nissan Maxima M 3.0 V6

Nice car but not worth the expense

Cam belt (expected), plastic radiator tanks burst, water pump replaced, digital clock broken, power antenna failed, brake master cylinder failed, steering shaft boots split, cruise control failed, windscreen seals have perished, upper door trim rubber strips perished, minor rust in door.

Way overpriced parts due to full importation to Aust. Try $536AUS dollars for a genuine digital clock. Thats about $332US!

I agreed that they are an expensive car when it comes to maintenance. I have spent nearly as much fixing my car in the 4 years I have owned it, as the purchase price.

The electronic windows have been the last straw - it recently cost $652 to replace the regulator in the electric window panel and my front passenger window stills goes down by itself in the rain!

I have had the windows fixed numerous times, not to mention the brakes (calipers and discs), CV boots, master brake cylinder, alternator.. the list is endless. I am now about to sell it as it has a terrible shudder (I think coming from the transmission) which I can't seem to get fixed.

Bye bye Maxima. You've been a great car, but I am broke...

Well, I assume you folks at least got more than 70,000 miles out of it? I am not so lucky = (
