Thanks for the comp, just wanted to let you all know...
that my car can be viewed under the 4 sale section of WWW.CUSTOMMAXIMA.COM I am asking for the best offer, and would love to get somewhere around $15,000 for it due to the fact that I have spent well over $21,000 on it. My loss is your gain. Take adavntage if you want it. Miles are high, but the car is in perfect mechanical shape. It starts right up and gets serviced every 2,500 miles which is when I change my spark plugs and change the oil. Email me if you have any questions. DAVE

Just to let you know, Mods on a car don't increase its value, they usually only descrease it. A car is in its most valuable form in stock and mint condition. The only mods that will make a car more valuable is if its been to a renowned pro-shop like Hennessey, Rouche, Saleen, Callaway, or Cosworth.
Its rather interesting, because the mods that were done appeal to the younger crowd, and they are the ones that can't afford it. A new windshield, alternator, clutch, battery, tires, and spark plugs aren't mods that should be factored in what the car is worth. Those things are expected to work and are basically maintenence items, and if you made them better, they aren't going to help the car be worth more than stock blue book. They will only halp the car live up to the blue book value. The ones that should matter should be the body kit for the ones who want it. I hope you get $12,500 for it, that would be great, but don't count on it. When you mod a car, you mod it for yourself. The mods aren't worth anything to anyone else unless its a kid or other enthusiast and the demand for cars with existing mods is fairly low making the value comparable. |

Good Point, But you are wrong...
This is a show car, and when I changed my clutch, I didnt' put a factory clutch in, I put a stage two Exedy JDM clutch in it. Also, because of the fact that I have a Yellow Maxima (with a sweet paint job) I changed the battery to the Optima Yellow Top Gel Battery. That is a mod because it isn't just any battery. Platinum spark plugs perform better than the copper ones you probably have in your car, therefor making it a mod. Let me guess... every car has pedals, a steering wheel, some sort of shift knob, and seats, so they aren't mods either to you. RIGHT??? I spent the extra dollar to upgrade all of my stuff because I own a show car. You don't have to go making negative comments towards me because you are envious. I am a nineteen year old college student who probably drives a nicer car than you do. It doesn't matter to me what you think. I am well aware of the fact that modifying a car decreases the value IF YOU ARE TRYING TO TRADE IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP, which I am not. Do me a favor and don't post again on any of my threads unless it's to same something positive. DAVE

don't get mad. he's right
not to mention you drilled holes all over the car to put on that hideous front bumper and the kit to boot. you can't ask money for stupid shit like a battery, shift boot, and shift knob. and max can respond to whatever thread he likes, at least he ain't whoring up the whole forum trying to make money. if you're selling some shit put a 4 sale thread and list it all there, stop filling up OUR forum with shit and mellow out he's looking out for your best interest, ask someomne for $15,000 for a 97 "so-called GTR maxima" (non-existent) and you're gonna get laughed at. not to mention you can buy a used maxima stock and do all that shit to it for less than what you're hoping to get. |

It all comes down to the demand there is for a car that is already modded, which there is very little. Modded cars tend to be run harder and the mods tend to be someone else's personal touch. I'd personally rather start with a stock car and mod it myself or have a shop do it (if I don't have the equipment).
I'm just telling you how it is. I'm not telling you your car is a POS or hating or anything. This is just how the market works. Like it was said before, you'll be lucky to get $12,500 for it, and I hope you do. Like Paonessa said, there's no such thing as a GTR Maxima in the US and to claim your car is one, is laughable. |

You obviously Misunderstood my ad
If you look down to the bottom you will see it clearly says Nissan Maxima SE. I am SORRY that you are all making such a big deal that I had GTR in the Heading. I admit it, I have a wannabe SKYLINE and that is ok because the car still looks nice. But when people talk trash about how ugly my body kit is and shit, I want to just flip because it doesn't make any sense!
