Have you had to replace your direct ignition coils yet? I've heard they're ~$100 a pop! I've also heard you're supposed to replace them at 100K, but others have told me that I don't need to replace them till they go bad. I'll stick with the latter of the 2. 
I went to the junk yard recently and bought a sunroof wind visor for $10 and got a new-looking set of floor mats for FREE! Brings some good life back to the car. Now all I got to do is get the tires & struts replaced and get the thing buffed!
Thanks for the info guys! |
I've heard so many people say they like the 3rd Generation better than the 4th, and I can understand why (mainly IRS and much more solidly built). I am looking to buy a low mileage one since I'm sort of a Maxima freak and I know they can be had cheaply.
Anyways the ignition coils should never need to be replaced, however the 1999 year was infamous for having them go bad. Reason be that they used different coil packs than in the older cars, either Mitsubishi or Hanshin it slips my mind now. They are ridiculously easy to replace, so I would just wait on replacing them if I was you. From the dealer they are about $80 a piece, however you can buy a
set from a junkyard for that price. Also just because one goes bad it is absolutely no indication that the others are going, so in that respect you may just want to buy 1 new one and hold onto it until time comes that one of yours goes bad.
BTW that SE-L model sure is nice with the perforated leather and tinted gauges/wheels.. hold on to it!
They will run hundreds of thousands with few small problems (such as your coil packs).
Good luck,
