Such a good car (anyone thats ever driven one will know what i mean).

I am a fan of the A32 Maxima (the one in the pics).
I owned one for 7 years. Mine was a Gold A32 Series one GV spec.
The one pictured is a series 2 or 3. Different grill tail lights boot garnish wheels etc.

I purchased it for $7000 with 99,900 kms on it.
It went to Melbourne from Adelaide many times. 3.0L V6 quad cam.. it used to return 6.6L to the hundred kays at the speed limit using cruise control all the way.
Top speed of 211 kays, and quicker than a v6 commie at the time.


Fully loaded, adjustable suspension, sun roof, climate, leather, 6 way adjustable power seats, premium sound system... If you held the unlock button on the remote for 3 seconds it would roll down the two front windows.. great for letting the hot out in summer.
Cost like 60k new...
After i clocked up over 350,000 kays on it it still did not leak or use oil.
Why don't i have it now? So dumb MUTT turned right on me at an intersection and killed it. I am still spewing about this 15 years on.. /rant off/

IIRC, the Nissan 3 litre V6 in the Maxima was awarded engine of the year in the early-mid 2000's.
