My car has 8000 miles and runs great (besides common '03 350z problems. tranny, idle etc). I picked it up with a few hundred miles on her already. But I did buy her brand new. I do have fun with this car. However, I take precautions. I use 5w30 mobil 1 syn w/ nissan oem filter. I also change oil every 3k. I dont start driving hard until the car is fully warmed up. I dont redline it everyday, but I do floor the car a lot. I bought it to have fun.

My car runs great now at 8000miles. My concern is that it will run like $hit down the road considering when I purchased it, it had 700 miles on it already. What do you think? I did buy a 6 year bumper to bumper warranty just in case. The car also runs very fast.

Should I be ok? Am I over reacting?

 

I wouldn't worry too much about the engine. Some people on maxima.org have a ton of mileage on their 02+ Maximas which have the same engine. I wish I could give you an # but search is fricking disabled for non-paying members. My vague memory tells me somewhere beyond 70K miles already...

 

thanks man. Yea my concern was that the car was purchased new, with 700 miles on it already. Like what if it was beat on or something before I got it .ya know? Thats what I was thinking.
Thanks again though man

 

Hmmm... oops, read too quickly and didn't see the 700 miles on the clock bit. Well, I posted a thread on maxima.org and it looks like the record on a 2K2+ Max is 74K miles.

I guess if you want more reports, look for a Pathfinder forum. The engine made its debut on the 2K1 Pathfinder.
