Hello, My First Car, A Nissan 1996 Maxima 5-Speed. Purchased in December 12th of 2003.
A Brief History of my Max. At a Nissan dealership bought a 1996 Camry LE Auto. Sadly days later was leaking oil, and shaking at high speed. Took it back to the dealership found out there were many problems with that Car, after some talking they let us trade the car for a 1996 Nissan Maxima SE 5 Speed.
Few days later notice my millage had not changed. Took the car to another Nissan Dealership, and found out the Clutch was almost dead, same with Axles, Speedometer head was bad, KS was bad, Camshaft Position Sensor was bad. Since the Cam shaft and the the Knock sensor was faulty it would make the car fail emission. In the State of Georgia it is illegal for a dealership to sell a car that wont pass emission, so this is what they fixed
New Clutch, Axles, Speedometer Head, KS, Camshaft Position Sensor, and more about $2k in repairs, all FREE, thanks Sutherlin Mall of Georgia Nissan!!.
