I’m selling a 1996 Nissan Maxima SE. It’s black with a black leather interior, has 163k miles, and runs perfectly. It’s got a sun roof, ABS, Bose stereo (with CD), power everything.
I’ve owned this car since 2000, and the only bad thing that’s ever happened to me was a flat tire once. I’ve had a few sensors replaced as well, to quiet a check engine light, but it’s never left me stranded. This is a smooth dependable ride for short commutes and long drives. I’m only selling it because I’m going to travel for a year, and don’t think it’s worth paying to put the car in storage.
The car has a 5 speed manual transmission and a 3 liter V6 engine. It’s a lot of fun with the windows and sun roof all open. The back seat seats 3, or 2 very comfortably, and there is plenty of trunk space. Definitely enough for 4 people going on a weekend trip, or 3 people going on a week-long camping vacation. It also gets quite decent gas mileage.
