 Bought My Max in 2005 w/118K (now 214K). I have averaged about 1000-1500K a year in repairs. The exceptional VQ V6 and transmission combo in these older model maximas is even better then the 2004 Avalon legendary V6 I recently purchased to replace it.Problem is everything around it is falling apart.I'd fix one probem and two more show up. I'd fix two problems and four more show up. You get the idea.Whats more, I got tired of having to feed it premium gas-tried regular, but the knocking sounded like someone was trying to break in to my house.Despite my gripes, I still own her. I'm hooked on the powertrain.I'll keep it through winter and then it's good bye.
