So, I'm in two minds about whether to sell the Maxima. My mate has decided to sell his car (which I have always wanted), and I have the resto on the Stanza to pay for. But, it's that age old dilemma. I love the car, truly love this car, and would never find another one. First world problems I guess, but problems nonetheless. Some pics taken yesterday. Love it.           Obvious why I love it really. Luckily, if I do sell, I'm not one to regret things for long, as everything is sold with that next car in mind, whether it turns out to be a good decision or a bad one, and life's too short to end up with lots of 'what if's' |

I doubt you'll have any shortage of interest if you do decide to sell! I'd have had that white one for sale if I hadn't just bought a 740...

So, you now have
1983 Datsun Stanza
1994 Nissan Maxima 3.0 V6
1997 Saab 9-5, 2l turbo
1999 Toyota Corolla 1.3 16v
2007 Discovery 3 TDV6
and a new one coming? What is your mates car?
To be honest, I would get rid of the Toyota. I presume that the Toyota a daily driven car is but I am sure that the Nissan or Saab will do that job quiet easily.

I have the answer to your problem!
Sell your Max and buy mine for less. You get some money left over, you keep a Max, I get one car out of the drive to keep the wife happy and I know it's gone to a good home. Everyone's a winner and I am a genius. 😁

The Corolla is being handed down to my son as a first car, as it's only a 1.3, so that's not an option to sell. |

Silly kids!!
I had the same (luxury) problem. The boy got his license, we moved to acreage, so, he needed a car and gone was my trade in on a car I was really keen on. (to be honest I bought that car anyway....)

To tie this one up, after buying the E55 AMG, I had to put this one up for sale due to lack of space. My friend bought it earlier this week, so I know it's gone to a good home. Last pics of it with me...   and driving away with it's happy new owner...   And reunited with some of my old cars, which were also bought and now owned by it's new owner...  I'm happy it's staying local too, as I should still see it at some shows I loved my 19 months with this car. Great motor, but time to concentrate on the E55 and Stanza. |

That mate of yours has good taste. Bet his neighbours love him with three cars parked at his front door.

Happy to be the new owner of this, what a great car.
I also bought the Saab last weekend as my new daily. The S Class I bought from Chris earlier in the year but now belongs to my dad, where the above picture was taken.
The Maxima and Saab join my Rover 620 Ti, 2 BMWs and 2 Talbots alongside my MK4 Cortina (soon to be for sale)
I do take some satisfaction that the proceeds from the Maxima will be invested in the Stanza that was bought from me so that's a positive.
And as long as Chris is happy for me too, I will continue documenting about the Maxima in this thread ?

That'll be good to see the thread kept updated. Being a Saab man maybe you could do the same with the 9-5. Also looking at your list of cars some nice machines. Need some threads on those as well.
