Used 1998 Nissan Maxima Sedan Consumer Reviews
Most bang for the buck
I've owned the car for 2 years and put on 40,000 kms in that time. The best car i've owned. The HP and torque make for snappy performance and the interior is luxurious and comfortable. The driver side airbag module was replaced under warranty (~$500 CAD), and the alternator was replaced under a recall. Other than that I haven't been to the dealership for anything.
Updated Review 3 yrs & 150K miles later
I was just looking back through the various reviews when I noticed one I wrote in August 2002. Three years later, I still own the same Maxima which now has 150,000 miles on it. The car rides like the first day I got it and basically requires little other than basic maintenance. The vehicle has aged very well and I still highly satisfied with this purchase.
Great Car
Bought this Maxima in 1998. Got the top of the line (GLE) version with all the additional options (side air bags, heated seats, heavy duty battery, sunroof, spoiler, leather etc). It's a great car, I am still enjoying the ride and I don't even dream of trading it in since they will only give me around $10k and is definately worth a lot more.
Terrific Car
Bought this car last year with about 92000 mi. very dependable, crashed the front passenger side quarter and it still runs as good as the day i got it. haven't had any trouble with it so far except an oil change and new brake pads.
Best car I ever owned
Never broken down! Not once in coming up on 8 years! That is impressive. Such a stylish car for being a '98, I still get compliments on its appearance. It still looks cutting- edge in design. This car has such superb stability and it has even more manuevering ability. I can turn around in the tiniest of places! We have gotten excellent customer service from various Nissan dealerships for maintanenece. Cannot even speak a bad word about anything about this car....not one thing comes to mind at all!
