About 268,000 kms. Waiting for more info from seller, once I have I will update. Aware some of these cars had coil pack issues. Any general thoughts about the 1999 Maxima?

Edit: I saw this car running on the street about a month ago.

Should go for $300 as junk metal. I'd drive it until that point.

For $200, it has no issues.

Even if it has issues, for $200 it has no issues.

Unless it was involved in a murder. That's an issue.

Owned a 95 gls auto sold it at 179k miles and a 2000 SE manual that I ran to 145k miles before i sold it(basically same motor) and sold that one to a buddy that passed 180k before letting it go. Did have 2 coil packs go on each but easy to work on easy to diagnose and lots of cheap parts available. O2 sensors like to go a lot on that motor 3 total I believe but also easy to fix and now that every auto store does the scan tool easy to diagnose. If its stick clutch's are somewhat short life expect 80k tops from what I've read/experienced. If its auto all depends on who beat it but there know to last pretty well.
