| Oh, dear.... huge photo! From what I can see, though, it looks like it was once a Maxima. My aunt had one of those cars (dark grey), and it was quite a lot of fun. | |
 And here is the ad copy. Price is $850: 1987 Nissan Maxima This Maxima is a one of a kind. Build by Erebuni Corp. in 1987 as a show car. This car was on the showroom floor in Queens, NY for a long time then abandon outside for a long time after that. The Title says 79,971 miles but the dash says 51,000 miles so I’m not sure which one is correct. This car was running about a month ago until the fuel pump broke. Now the car is located on my driveway. Body also needs work as you can tell from the pictures. Special Gotti deep dish wheels and tires included. New battery and exhaust. Car must be towed away. Please contact me if you have any further questions |

Surfing while on standby here at work... Only costs $64 to fix! Ok. Tell ya what, I'll give you $100 to fix it for me. You can make a profit! Its not uncommon to hear of these engines going over 500,000 miles. Huh. Must be in some other car cause these bodies don't last 500k miles. Hey stickguy! Weren't you looking for a FWD V70 2.5T? This seems like a good deal. Too good, actually.

I may be a dyed-in-the-wool Volvo enthusiast but that Craigslist ad from NJ was just too much for me. "It is not uncommon to HEAR of these engines going 500,000 miles?!" What is the seller on, something I haven't tried yet? I can safely tell anyone here that those B230F engines do need quite a lot of TLC just to keep running - constant timing belt changes, anyone? No, those bodies will not last over a half million miles - even though they were galvanized post-1986, they are still prone to rust. Those 240s have little nooks and crannies where gunk can accumulate and contribute to the tinworm. Shifty will probably attest to this too.
