| I have a 93 maxima SE with 135K and it's purring along just fine.
even the 93 says it needs premium gas, but the knock sensor works just fine to control the car with regular unleaded. I've been running this was for 12 years and no problems - the power is a little less, but for city driving it doesn't matter.
maximas have little electrical quirks like bad BOSE stereos, dimming clocks, and such, but nothing vital and nothing that can't be fixed with a little solder.
how well the car has been kept the is best indication of future drivability. also, check with your insurance on which is cheaper to insure
I generally stay away from fords, but if you do go with it, make sure the focus was built after the years of recalls they had after intorduction. |
