95 Maxima - Excellent car, probably one of the fastest years built. It's the lightest of them all. The 95 year had starter problems. The starters would experiance spin on. Basically they wouldn't release the bendix gear and it would make this noise after you released the key from the start position. It's an easy fix. Basically it just needs to be regreased. DIY instructions are on www.motorvate.com That was the only major finding with 95 years. All else is just basic stuff you would look for on any used car. Shocks, breaks, tires, engine maintenance ect... I think they were also knows for 02 sensors going too. Again a DIY job.

A good web site for some info is www.Maxima.org It's a great community of Maxima owners with many MANY modifications that make the Maxima fun to drive. Keep in mind the Maxima motor was voted one of the Best V6 motors ever made by car and driver. And it still takes awards year after year.
