A completely loaded Ford Focus and an Infiniti that's just a Maxima underneath? That's what I just bought for $800... but neither are in great shape and one only wants to drive in reverse.

Holy smokes an I35! I had one back in the day. It was a 2004; blue outside but the same tan interior you have on this one. I put 160k miles on mine before moving on, but it was an absolutely wonderful car. It really was a Maxima in a tux (for its time anyway), and it made both daily drives and cross country road trips effortless. And even at well over 100k miles, that Nissan VQ v6 would still throw you back if you floored it. One tip though: Be wary of the in-dash 6disc changer. It was notorious for glitching out and just permanently skipping no matter what you put in there. Back in the day Nissan was warranty-ing them like crazy after a few years, and ofc the hardware vendor who built them was like "oops our bad".

I almost bought one a couple years ago... im in the rust belt so when i found one with little to no rust i was so excited. Black over tan interior.. i wish i had picked it up! always liked the style of these fancy maxima's

@donmynack 27 күн бұрын

Also, my old QX4 had the brake light issue. It's the little plastic piece in the pedal that hits the switch - once it's fallen out, the lights are always on. Another annoying side effect of this is the cruise control is tied into that switch - basically if the light is on, cruise control thinks you are breaking and turns itself off.

@anangryoldman8469 25 күн бұрын

JR, check the brake pedal lever for a little black plastic button that probably isn't there. They dry-rot and shatter, and the brake switch plunger stays extended. If it is the same setup as the G37 I had, the brake lights stay on - and the ECU thinks the brakes are on, and puts the car in 'limp-home' mode. Which may explain why it runs fine in reverse, but not great forward.

@bakechef781 27 күн бұрын

My mechanic lent me an old Maxima while I was getting an oil change/tire rotation this morning. It's hilarious how little they changed for the infinity. This was a loaded model, so the same sound system, HVAC controls, pretty much everything. It had 290k on it, still ran great, first gear was a bit rough if you accelerated hard from a stop, but shifted through all of the gears.

The brake lights stuck on is super easy to fix. The brake switch tip breaks easily and then it's on by default (it's above and the pedal being up contacts it). Probably what killed your battery too. I fixed ours with a trim clip from another car that I jammed into the switch to give it a new "pin" and the brake pedal hit it.

I had an issue with my old Tacoma where the brakes would only lock in reverse. Turns out a caliper bolt worked itself loose (no idea how, never seen this before) and was missing, When you put it in reverse, it would pull the caliper up and engage the rotor. Moving forward, it would push it down and disengage. Weird but easily fixable, at least.
