| Oddly enough and by pure coincidence, it's yet another metallic-red Nissan V6 =) I just needed something for work and around town since the Z is down for the rest of the year. I also didn't want to spend more than $5k since most of my savings tied up on my house/Z32TT projects. While there's no turbos on this one, I still scored with a very clean 2002 Maxima SE 3.5L. -255hp 3.5L V6 Sports Edition
-120k miles
-One owner, bought locally and dealer maintained.
-Full service records (including religious oil changes every 3-4k)
-Runs great, drives straight. More nimble than I expected!
-Mint interior. She must have had no friends...no seat wear or anything.
-Exterior has some minor scuffs/dings. 90% of which I removed yesterday with some rubbing compound and other tools.
Price paid: $4,500 Part of the reason I got it as cheap as I did was that the exterior needed some work. As mint as the inside/engine was, she seemed to have rubbed/scraped every wall in town. Beyond that, she had tried to touch up the paint using some sort of garbage "paint pen" and it really looked terrible. It also needed a clay/polish/wax badly...but I knew it'd clean up well. For example: Before
 After. Already it looks better but I'll touch many of these up with a tooth pick and color-sand it.
 After six hours of rubbing compound, clay bar and micro-polish here's how she came out.
