Maybe it can be painted yellow, that way the buyer can't say they weren't warned...

Re: Nissan's Reliability

about a year ago i bought a 93 Nissan Altima for $1500 with 109k miles on it. It hasnt given me one problem since. Maximas and Altimas are pretty solid cars as long as they have been kept up.

Re: Nissan's Reliability

i've personally seen 4 maxima's hit well over 100,000 miles, one even went to 255,000 before the timing chain snapped.

Re: Nissan's Reliability

My mom had a 1990 Maxima and it never had one problem up until we sold it at 125,000 miles. Older Maximas and Altimas are very, very reliable.
