The NISSAN MAXIMA QX (2000-02) 4DR SALOON 3.0 V6 SE+ AUTO is a spacious, full-size family saloon from the turn of the century, sitting above ordinary compact cars in comfort and presence. Its automatic gearbox and smooth V6 suit relaxed journeys, while its four-door layout makes it practical for passengers and luggage. mycarcheck.com has recorded five look-ups covering four distinct VINs, so this is a snapshot rather than a broad reliability picture. In those checks, average recorded mileage was 70,000, with 3,000 miles a year and 4.8 previous keepers on average; the average private-sale valuation was £300. Given the sample and the car’s age, treat that figure cautiously. The Maxima QX suits buyers seeking an uncommon, comfortable saloon for commuting or family trips, not the cheapest running costs. Compared with Ford Mondeo and Toyota Camry rivals, it offers a V6-powered, easy-going feel, though fuel economy may trail smaller cars.
