Thinking of buying the 2004 Nissan Maxima?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2004 Nissan Maxima for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2004 Nissan Maxima in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
The 3.5L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 11.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 34 litres of fuel. That works out to about $17.36 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the Maxima suits
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Space, size and seats
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 453 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the Maxima answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Maxima answers the big questions.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
Send a request
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
