i have a 92 maxima with 239000 miles on it. I got it from a family member who took care of it perfectly for about the first 200,000 miles. All it has had replaced was the starter and a few of the fuel injectors. Ever month I am putting in fuel injector cleaner now and getting oil changes every 3000 miles. I am young so i drove it hard for about 5 months but now i drive it pretty well not treating it bad at all unless people like to go 60 in passing lane on the highway. But somthing with the front brakes is wrong and I need to get it fixed with in a few days. However other then that there is nothing wrong. How much longer do you think this car will last?How much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
yes, i agree this car is very very old. i wonder if the transmission has ever been serviced. if not, problems may arise with that. i had a 1990 maxima and it lasted until 135k until the transmission went out. it seems like you are taking good care of it though and older japanese cars like that will hold up for a long long time but 239,000 miles is a lot and its probably time to just throw in the towel and get a new one to be on the safe side.How much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
My suggestion: Make sure you have AAA coverage. You're on borrowed time.How much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
It is died already. What about buying a new car? Your is very old!!!How much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
You Nissan is an Asian car and will last forever if you take car of it. Get your brakes checked and keep doing what you are doing. My father in law has a 2001 Tundra with 323, 000 miles and aside from changing the oil and other preventative maintenance, he just had to replace the motor for the driver's side power window.How much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
I think you have time until 300000 miles Don't worry about itHow much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
Back in 2001, I bought a Nissan Maxima 1989 model from a friend of mine with around 150000 mileage. Now, mileage is around 290000 and is still doing good and in great shape. All I am doing as maintenance is making sure that I change engine oil and gear oil every 5000 miles or after 6 months whichever comes first. Below is my schedule:
1. Oil change every 5000 miles or every 6 months (synthetic oil).
2. Radiator overhaul every year. By the way, I use rain water.
3. Brake %26amp; Clutch maintenance jobs every 2 months.
4. I always make sure that all oil levels are on maximum level.
5. Sparkplug change every 6 months.
6. Alternator and Starter checkup every 6 months.
7. Search and repair car body for any new defects.
8. Replace shock absorbers every year and coil springs as needed.
9. Replace , balljoints, tierod ends,booshings and fittings every 6 months.
10. I use premium gas, not unleaded or any other else.
If you do the above, I am quite sure your car will go a long way. And oh, don't overload your car with passengers especially in long drives. 5 persons including driver should be the maximum.How much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
there is no answer to that question. u are asking how long until something breaks. just never know. just follow the recommended maintenance and u will do the best u can expect. the real question is: when something breaks is it worth the price to replace it given the higher probability that something else will break after that breaks and so on. i scrapped my nissan stanza when she was about 14 with 239k on her because the clutch went out at the exact same time as the fuel pump. i could have dropped 500 bucks in her but i decided it was time to say sayonara. the engine still ran strong and used little oil and the body was in good shape! jsut be sure to keep your cell phone with you in the car. being the fatherly type i would like to see u in a newer car with better airbags and abs. happy motoringHow much longer will my 92 nissan maxima last?
Don't worry. I understand your preoccupation, especially if you haven't had much experience. Issues with brakes are common. I have a 90 nissan sentra, and I recently had to replace the head gasket because I drove it for like a three months without water. Have the brakes serviced, and then get the compressions on the engine checked. This will tell you how the engine is running. If you start to see signs like too much black smoke, or if the engine is starting to burn too much oil, dump it before you have to pump a few thousand dollars into an engine orverhaul.
