JUSt bought a 2000 Maxiam, SE, AT, 17" alloys, Lthr. interior. Car has 59k. on it with the original factory warranty in effect up to 100k. Is very clean in and out and has been well maintained...paid $12,500. How did I do in respect to actual value of the car? What if anything should I be on the lookout for as far as potential problems; any areas that need attention other than routine maintenance at this mileage. Any one with experience and knowledge on care and feeding of this car please fill me in!!!
Check out my review at: http://www.carsurvey.org/review_58956.html
b.t.w., expect the back brakes to go before the front every time for some reason I haven't learned yet.
I too shall be a new owner for a Nissan Maxima 2000 SE. What are the defects associtated with it, I am actually worried about the transmission, the car is an automatic transmission what are the maintainance options do i have.
The car has about 67K Miles on it
Well the car actually has a couple of problems
1) Passenger side window doesn't come down
2) Belts need changing
3) Transmission needs flush
4) Wierdest part .... The front windshield at the top driver side corner does not have the rubber strip ( a 2 inch length ) . Which is wierd.
5) It might need a tune up
( how much should I take off the price for these fixes that I will need to do )
He is offering me 4 snow tires...
I have been doing some researching on the internet and what I get is the starter coils and the transmission problem and some brake problems.
It would be great if you guys had some input and what are the fixes I would need to do get it to work.
the engine is the same from 95-01 VQ30. so expect the same probs as b4. injectors, knock sensor, auto tranny, coil packs, bose stereo. nothing major (Except for the tranny)

12.5K for a 2000 isnt that bad. you could have gotten one cheaper on ebay maybe, but you didnt get shafted on the deal. i got mine fully loaded for about 17k, a 2001 though. with 30K miles on it, precertified, which isnt bad. i jumped onmine because it was 5 spd, and its tough to find.
coils and pipes are two big problems. keep up on your maintenance. weak window motors, bose head unit/speakers, sensors all are potential problems. but i wouldnt worry about it.

Not a bad price. That was originally the budget I wanted to keep to when replacing my trusty but dying 1990 Maxima SE.
Couldn't find anything nice and reasonable at dealers. Ended up paying $14.5K private party for very clean 2002 5.5 Gen with 60K miles.
No problems right now, but the guy did little other than change oil. I needed tires immediately, and I'm going to do trans fluid, battery and brake pads shortly.
How did you get 100K warranty, it ends at 60K I thought?

Coil packs indeed. Mine went bad last year. Gave me all sorts of false readings. Check Engine, ABS and the car choking on me were all part of the bad coils. I believe they set me back about $800.00. I'm getting ready to change my Ball Joints & Shocks/Struts, but this is 6 years and 115K miles later. Good car! I really shouldn't complain. Enjoy.
whats goin im also new to the site i got a couple questions for you guys. first i wanna know if i got a good deal on my max, i just bought it end of january its a 03 se auto silver black leather n bose, im pretty sure its fully loaded. its got 84k on it. i got it out the door for 9500. so basically i wanna know if you guys think it was a good deal or not, and i also checked the car fax and this guy took it to a dealer basically every 3k miles. and just to let you guys know i got the mod itch already so ur input on what upgrades to do would be cool...
