1997 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 4dr Sedan
Better Brakes but otherwise solid
 Bought used in 2002, with 60K miles. Replaced muffler, brakes, wheel bearings, tires.  Redid alignment.  For an old car, seems to be doing okay. People claim that these cars seem to go forever.  A/C stopped working, power steering seems to have corroded. However the dings and scratches from life seem to be doing it in rather than mechanical things.  Maybe now that Altimas made in the US, replacement parts might be cheaper.
