I guess you are asking because you either have a 2014 Maxima or you are thinking about buying one .

It is 6 years old so have a shop look at it and give you an opinion because people on the web can’t see it or drive it .

It’s a used car. Flip a coin. A pre-purchase inspection is a must but even that is not a guarantee of having no problems. It simply swings the odds a bit more into your favor.

The best cars made can be quickly turned into rolling junk within a year or two if the abuse and neglect begins on day one.
