Please don't post your miles if you are under 50,000. I want to know about mechanical issues, interior/exterior build quality, etc.

Im just over 60k
I change the oil every 3k
Interior has held up well, even with bashing on it with the subs I have. My only problem is the plastic covers that cover the hinges on the seats. They are going to crap from getting in out.
Exterior is fine other than the rock chips from road miles. Other than that, exterior is fine.
I think I am due for new coil overs here pretty soon.

Car is running good (aka new). I change my oil from 3-7k miles. I run full synth.

Ive only replaced front brake pads.
Paint is thrashed from road frag, rocks, pebbles etc.

Mine had 135,xxx miles on it before I sold it.
Problems had: Dull paint, misfiring, oil leak in one cilinder, overheated once, camshalf seal leakage, reverse gear locked out, and windows' motor slowly died.
But that Maxima was fun to abuse though

Replaced engine, transmission, driverside window motor, rattling passenger side visor under warranty. There are probably a few other things I've forgotten. Most of above took place at about 25k miles and were handled very well by my dealership.
I drive her hard. Im at 53k now with no complaints. I think she'll stay as solid far over 100k miles. She's a keeper.

Ol' "Marilyn" and I will roll over 73,000 miles this week. (72,642 today).
She still looks good and is still a strong runner and paint/finish is excellent. Drivers window motor @ 65k and replaced rear brakes (Touring) @ 68k. Two sets of front pads thus far.
All is well in Z land!
Regards, Jim

That is some mileage Jim! I have 25k and the pass side window motor is getting replaced. 36k miles is coming up! Which means warranty is up.How much was to get yours replaced?

Well,,, I have a little over 71,000 miles with 11,000 of those with my APS TT pushing over 400whp.... Before the turbo, I have had about 270 to the wheels... The car is holding up well... I have had motor and suspension mods since the beginning... Being an early 03, I have had almost every TSB known to man...Including 2 new transmissions(both warrantied).. I have run synthetic since 3k and have changed all of the fliuds in the car with synthetics.... The car is running stronger than ever, and I just installed a new clutch and flywheel.... Best ET of 11.67@119 hopefully to be inproved this weekend with the addition of the flywheel..... So yes, 71,000 HARD miles!! And probably roughly 100 trips down the 1/4 mile..

I have the 75k extended warranty and it only cost me $50 under the warranty.
The total invoice was ugly! It was $478.00 parts and labor. If I had not had the extended warranty I would have choked somebody.
