Goodbye LNF

So i have traded it my 08 HHR SS on Friday for a 06 3.5 Maxima in Alpine White. I will miss the van for sure but im done with the issues i had with it and it was throwing the P0436 code now and there were other misc things wrong with it. I got 11500 for it with 53K on it. You guys might say it wasnt a lot but i owed just a little over that so i said **** it. I will keep hanging out around here though.

I don't mind the Maximas just stay on top of the oil changes and you should be fine. I have seen a ton of those engines have valve guide seal issues and rocker issues. Other than that it should be a great car!

ya definitely. It's a great car and I really liked the styling of the 2006 I just hate the way they make their engines. The CVT should definitely net you some good MPG if you are doing mainly highway
