We came across this 1995 Nissan Maxima GLE on Cars.com in October 2022, listed by a dealer for $5,991. The ad is long gone, but we keep the record here. Clean fourth-generation Maximas are getting hard to find, and a real asking price helps anyone trying to price one.
What this car was
A black Maxima sedan in the GLE trim, photographed in a dealer’s indoor studio. The paint looks deep and even, and the alloy wheels and trim are all present. Studio photos flatter any car, though, so the lower doors, sills and rear wheel arches would still need an in-person look. The listing described the car as undamaged, with comfortable seats and a clean dashboard.
The GLE came with these white-faced gauges, a nice period touch. Inside, this car had gray cloth seats that look free of tears or stains, and an automatic transmission. Under the hood was the 3.0-liter twin-cam V6 that every fourth-generation Maxima used.
Was $5,991 a fair ask?
It was a dealer price on the high side for a 1990s Nissan sedan, but the car looked unusually clean. The VQ V6 has a good reputation, and tidy, unmodified Maximas from this generation are much rarer now than they were. We didn’t record the mileage, which is the number that would decide whether this price made sense.
A little Maxima history
The Maxima name started on the Datsun 810 Maxima in 1981 and became Nissan’s flagship sedan in North America. The fourth generation arrived for the 1995 model year with the new VQ30DE V6, a 3.0-liter twin-cam engine that earned a strong reputation for smoothness and durability. It was offered in GXE, sporty SE and more luxurious GLE trims. Nissan built this generation through the 1999 model year, and the car that followed kept the same VQ engine family.
