Default Purchasing advice? - 09-04-2003 , 09:47 PM






I'm thinking about purchasing this car but I don't really know what it's
worth. The Black book website only goes back
to 1994. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

1991 Nissan Maxima
250,000 km
3L V6
climate control
cd
some rust, not much... no holes, just surface rust.
overall decent shape

BTW - I'm in NB, Canada so please tell me if your price is CAD$ or
USD$... thanks!

Check out www.kbb.com. My guess is it's worth around US$2000-2400. That car
is high mileage (155,000 miles). You will definitely have some maintenance
issues if certain things haven't been replaced by now, e.g. window
regulators, alternator, cv joints/axles, clock, radiator, hoses/belts, fuel
filter, exhaust manifold studs, power steering pressure hose, brakes of
course, transmission, struts, timing belt & tensioner, water pump, coolant
temp sensor.
Otherwise, it's a great car (if it's a GXE) If it's an SE, be prepared for
some expensive work to the VTC camshaft sprockets. If it's been well
maintained, you've probably got another 50,000 miles left before you have
MAJOR engine issues, as most cars have at this point in their lives!
