I have a 97 Maxima GLE with 135,000 miles on it and I failed
inspection b/c the evaporated emissions system no longer works. It is
going to cost about $1,000 to fix. Any input on whether it should get
done or not? Or just trade up to a new Maxima.?

Consider having the 120,000 mile service done instead. New fuel
injectors, fuel filter, clean delivery system, etc. I also changed
over to a K&N air filter. I had this stuff done to my car recently
(140,000 miles) and it's young again (honest). If you really are
looking for a new car, why not do that instead? I'm investing in a new
car for my wife, and keeping my fast, young '96 Maxima.

evap problem, thoses valves had a bunch of leaves stuck in them.

What does the check engine light say? Usually it tells you which part of
the evap system is failing.
