people, the 2000 nissan maxima is an infamous lemon. my car wasn't flooded according to my insurance company. otherwise they would have totaled it out. when I say it was flooded, water got into the interior, but it wasn't anywhere near under water. google the 2000 nissan maxima "check engine" light. it's not just my car, it's a nissan problem. add "ignition coils" to the google and your computer might explode.
The final say is right. I always thought those years of Maximas were still good, but I was wrong. Look at what other owners have to say...
lmao. that check engine light is the freaking worst. it totally has a mind of its own. ignition coils, alternator, o2 sensor, mass airflow sensor. you name it, I replaced it. then the POS blows an engine. can't wait to pick up the honda I test drove tonight. F-nissan.
At the moment, one of the local dealers is having a $3000 "push, pull, and drag" sale.
I wish I was in the market for a new car, I have a clunker sitting out in the pasture I could load up on the trailer and get $3000 for on trade!
It happens about once a year.
They have even been known to allow a horse to be traded in!
putting a new engine in this car is like pouring perfume on a pig. it's been nothing but trouble. I guarantee you if I put a new engine in it, it will need a new transmission in a month. it's like that. the electrical system in the car is shot, and the check engine light has been an ongoing problem for me. by the way, I wouldn't buy a $30k car. I would pay $15-$16 for a honda or a toyota. something that will get better fuel economy and last much longer. also, I have the cash to do this so monthly payments aren't an issue.
Not all the time. I had an Acura RL that got a new engine at the 47k mark and I owned it for 8 more years and another 204k for a total of 251k...
As for the car in question, it is worth nothing as a trade-in. Any value of the car will be lost in the price negotiation. You can sell it as is on craigslist. If you like tinkering with cars and have a garage, you can strip it of all usable parts and then send it to the crusher. Then sell the parts on ebay, craigslist, etc... I have netted over $2k selling parts from my old Acura...
Location: I currently exist only in a state of mind. one too complex for geographic location.
