Gr8 Car Over Time
 I have a 2005 Nissan Maxima that I purchased in 2013 with just a little over 121K miles. The first thing I noticed was the transmission having erratic behavior. After replacing the valve body car shifts as smooth as butter. People please do yourself a huge favor and don't grab a brand new tranny unless it's completely gone out and even if you have replaced transmission please at some point replace valve body as this is the "brain" of the transmission. Had it tuned up and had brand new tires put on and new cats and cv axles. Car rides like brand new. Maximas are a car for great reliability over the years but as with typical cars with age things happen and have to be replaced at some point. I'm more of the 2002 and 2003 Maxima fan because they're more sporty looking on the SE but my 2005 SE suites me just fine.
