This is a solid car. It has a few quirks but overall, she is a great ride.
Needs a few things to maintain her & I am ordering those items this week.
Still getting offers to buy it weekly - from people driving brand new Maxima's. Imagine that...Jul 16, 2013

Very Reliable, Easy to work on as a back Yard Mechanic Very Happy with this car would never sell it. Gas Mileage I can't complain about at all, Its a bulky looking car but people ask me about the car everywhere I go Bought the car for 450 can dollars and was purchased with 118,000 Kilometers what a steal never had to do anything to get it certified passed first time and don't have to get emissions on it because of the year VERY HAPPY with this carOct 04, 2010

This car is the best I owned an 84 810 Datsun/Nissan Maxima an then a 91,96and 99 this 87 is the one I missed when it was new. I bought it 2 years ago for my son he didn't want a 5 speed good for me bad for him this car has 270K and still runs out of #s on the speedo every morning. every thing works. I just bought a 87 300zx turbo engine Stay tuned May 05, 2010

4 door, White Sedan, SE Trim. Best car I've ever owned! Bought it used in Jan '87 (had 8800 miles on it) and have owned it ever since. At 275,000 miles, it still has great acceleration, good gas mileage (27.5 highway) and great reliability. Other than replacing the fuel injectors under a safety recall early on, I've only had to replace one water pump and 3 alternators in addition to normal maintenance. I did replace the a/c compressor when it was 17 years old and after 273,000 miles and 23 years, I had to replace the manual transmission with a used one (found one that only had 40,000 miles on it). But, still not bad for a car that old. The car still has the original paint job and looks great. It has been, and still is, a fun car to drive. Mar 21, 2010

I love my car. It runs like a gem. I make sure to keep it up. Had some problems due to age, but now it is so reliable. I am very fortunate. It was my mom's car before she passed, and I take very good care of it.Dec 09, 2008

vg30e great motor and sport suspension very simple
to work on power distribution was great nothing really
to complain about except for sun roof leaked wasn't
the best gaskets for oregon weather great car to drive
very quick throttle response another negative was
power steering pump went out there were three hose
clamps that nissan had initially put on and they didn't
tighten them on the way out of the factory so you
would have a burnt up pumpAug 15, 2008

I own a 1987 Nissan Maxima that needs major work. My primary car however is a 2002 KIA Spectra- I love this car and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, gas efficient car. I traded in my 1998 Chevy Camaro and bought this KIA. I have owned several cars in my life, this KIA is the best thus far.Jun 26, 2008

they made a wagon version, The REO Speedwagon. Loved that car, only got to drive it a couple times when i had my learners permit. Miss it very much because it ain't much worse than the PT.Feb 20, 2008

This is almost always the underdog. Any one who ever has owned an Maxima period, would know its a hard car to give up. Its a hella fun to drive, a lot quicker than one would think and you can fit friends in it!Feb 17, 2008
