With 10+ years under it's belt with me, it's been an amazing car. It hasn't failed me yet! I know it's getting close to retire my old Max (yes, I named my car!) And I already know I am going to be so sad to let it go. I have always said that I loved the body of 4th generation Maxima's.. I like the "round squareness" of it.

I purchased my vehicle about a year ago from a couple who had just bought a new car. We looked at this one, and though its a bit ugly with a pattern of faded paint on the hood, and just a gold color, thought it'd do us well for driving around the country. After almost a year we've had to take it to the mechanic only twice, once for an oil change and the other time one of the cam belts needed replacing. I'm a little concerned about how much longer all of the individual components of the car will last (some cords poking out the steering wheel, the radio is a bit finicky, the boot must be opened by key), but as a whole car it feels solid.
