all they need is love
 This model is told to be the best maxima made due to the body style as well as the engine and transmission found on these models. Its a Very fun drive lots of power and stylish than most cars you may find during this era i received my Nissan maxima as a graduation gift from my dad he had it at it prime, i borrowed it once or twice on a night on the town before owning the vehicle myself The car did have many sensor issues my dad must of replaced all of the oxygen sensors, as well as replaced the alternator  by the time i received the car. Upon receiving the car it had 80000 miles on it two years with the vehicle  im currently going on 94k the car has had many repairs done to it usual wear and tear. i put about 4,000 dollars into the vehicle with new brakes, rotors, back calipers, tires, struts, new front transmission mount along with a radiator, muffler, new headlights,spark plugs, a new battery as well as had to change speed and knock sensor for it to pass inspection. The wiring which connects the radio was so corroded i had to fix the connection that connected the radio to the battery,  but these issues are something you can expect from 15 year old car. Even though the car is a little long in the tooth she still runs great in the city or highway. Especially on road trips there is minimal blind spots when changing lanes, as well as enough power for you to move in and out of traffic.  Pretty strong in the snow but it not awd so you can get stuck if your not careful. This car can hold its own against a 2016 Honda civic and gave it a run for its money.  This car is notorious for holes in the exhaust, as well as rust near the back right tire, and to give you sensor issues sometimes they go away but sometimes they don't. These cars can last a long time if you put love into them by investing your time, money, and willing to get a little dirty to fix some of the problems yourself. The resale value is very good considering the age and I'm confident that i can get 3,000-4,000 dollars especially since i have been offered that price now for it. This car would be a great first car.
