99 Maxima speedometer problems

:confused: I'm really bummin' here! The speedometer/odometer in my 99 Maxima SE stopped working 2 days ago. It's got 39,500 miles on it so it's out of warranty. The dealer says the speed sensor is OK and says that replacing the cluster will cost over $500! Does anyone know where I can get a used cluster (analog speedometer/digital odometer) and where I can get the odometer calibrated to show the correct mileage? I DON'T want to pay $500 for this!

I'm not absolutely positive about this but unless you order one from the dealership you can't get a used one and adjust it to read the same number of miles you have. If you get a used cluster you can get Nissan to certify the mileage so that when the time comes to sell or trade the car at least you won't get slapped with odometer fraud. You could always just put a used one in but expect the resale value to drop drastically.

Search the Maxima.org forums there has been some discussion about it recently.
