I sent my son out to search for a good used car. He thought he was getting a killer deal by way of a 91 maxima for only $650. Later my daughter tells me the guy selling it was wearing sunglasses at night and talking about how he needed money to pay off some guy for last deal..so we have dubbed the car tweakermobile. The thing was leaking oil so we've spent $250 on getting gaskets replaced. Alternator was bad, another $55 for a used one. Now we find out timing belt job mechanic says will be $550, tranny is no good that will be about $1200 and still not passing smog due to exhaust problem. why is the story of the magic beans coming to mind? The car looks great, black with sunroof, so that's $2700 not including however much that exhaust deal will be. So I'm trying to decide if I should cut my losses now, or since I'm a big maxima fan myself(have owned 3 but all 80's models and ran them way over 300,000 mark but I did maitence and these folks obviously didn't) Car has 205,000 miles on it.
