I purchased my 90" five years ago w/76k. Since,I have had to replace all four window regulators, six injectors,the manifolds and a transmission at 165k. The car now runs as good as new w/orig. showroom look. Im going to keep her another 100k! Racing Red/charcoal cloth & Bose in TX.

Only complaint I have is the power windows don't hold up. I've replaced 3 or 4 over the years.
Miss my '90 SE

I purchased a 1990 SE loaded with the CD & ABS the only options available that year. I drove the car for 5 years trading it in at 115,000 for a 1996 Millennium S. The Maxima was so reliable. Went back to dealer once for the CD button sticking (Dealer Installation Error). I got a hole in AC condenser at about 90,000. That was the only trouble I ever had. Changed the brake pads my self & the timing belt. Easiest modern car I ever owned to work on. I ran 115MPH for an hour & she purred. Consistently got 32 mph highway. Best car ever
Most fun per dollar

I have owned 1990 SE manual since 99 and put 202,000 on it. Fun, fast, geared low but still gets up to 32 mpg highway. Average about 26mpg and as low as 22 city. I have replaced timing belt, alternator 2X. Rack and pinion, clutch master cyl. brake master cyl. two fuel injectors (change all 6 and you will get some great gas mileage if they are flow matched/balanced), two front struts, all 4 window regulators (get OEM for fronts and aftermarks for back), flex pipe 2X (the second time I just cut it out from J-pipe and clamped an aftermarket in. Make sure its a full braid not corrugated inner). All tires- General Ameri G4S, Bar.Bravaris, BFGood traction T/A have been great. I prefer 215/60R15.
Live on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought my Maxima brand new in '90. As of today (6.26.02) with 143k miles on my MAX the engine still purrs !!!!! Certainly one of the best cars I have had the pleasure of driving every day.
