I own 2 Maximas. A 1999 GLE and a 2001 GLE.
I like the 1999 with 175,000 miles much better than the 2001 with 55,000 miles. The only major problems I have had were shocks and struts (on both cars). The factory stuff did not last very long.
I would buy the 1999 again. It still runs great and has a much better ride than the 2001.
Rememer, these cars have timing chains rather than belts. That is what I think you should consider. Timing Belts need to be replaced every 60,000 miles. That's expensive.
