TRY THIS. Turn key to first click only. Then move shifter to neutral. And start car. Should shift fine until it's placed back in park. Check brake lights or abs
Mike, I sent a link to your email for a 2008 Toyota Sequoia $6995 in Oklahoma City. You can stop by and check it out to see if you like it. It is basically a Toyota Tundra pickup truck with a covered back and independent rear suspension. It has 381 horsepower and will tow 8000 pounds. It rides a lot smoother than a pickup truck and the seats are super comfortable. I have a 2012 Sequoia and get 23 mpg on the highway. It drives like a dream. You don't get much pickup truck for $7000 these days. Thanks for the entertainment.
Changing directions to make things different. Looking forward to watching you repair the Maxima, Mike. Interesting challenge that I would be willing to take on myself. Thank you for the great video. Every time I see people dragging ramps out to load a car in videos I think to myself you should get one like Randy has.
My last Nissan (an Altima) left me stranded in Austin with a broken shifter. Shoved a screwdriver down the little hole at the top of the shifter to release the shifter and got home to Dallas. Bought a new shifter for $345,, installed it and solved the problem. There is a little solenoid that went bad and is not replaceable. That was the last Nissan product I will ever buy. I have had 5 and they all caused problems. Took me 5 to learn.
Something also to check on this one is the break light switch behind the brake pedal that also works the release of your transmission selector that might be causing your issue just throwing it out there🙂
Once you daily that Maxima you won´t go back to the Mercedes they are really smooth and good on gas it´s a nice ride take it to Randy´s friends at Maaco they´ll fix it nice and cheap
Hay Mike, I was shocked at how clean that was apart from the little bump at the back, the interior looked almost new! What a fantastic deal, really looking forward to watching the videos on this, keep up the fantastic work
I have a motto for my life. "Friends don't let friends buy Nissans" But since Randy didn't know you were buying it, he gets a free pass. I hope it doesn't give you too much trouble. And also it was really nice the way you helped Randy with the house. You're a good friend. 👍🇺🇲⛽🚙
these arent that bad. I have a 2011 that just hit 200k, all ive changed was plugs and coil packs @ 120k and new vacuum lines, rack and pinion and power steering pump @ 150k. original CVT and it drives smooth
Definitely brake light switch that will stop you from shifting every time either that or the shifter is busted. I think you got a great deal and if you can source the parts cheap enought borrow Randy's porta power push out that rear quarter. You can definitely make some money on this one.
Not with 200,000+ miles on it. Looked at the prices they're bringing and I'm guessing $3500 max and he's likely to have $2500 in it if he doesn't find any big problems. Just like in real estate you make your money when you purchase. Hopefully the videos will make up for his paying too much.
You got me excited. I thought Randy had actually driven the tow truck. Hey, Randy's giving you a truck so why do you need a truck fund! LOL. I had a car that you couldn't put it in gear if the door was open. I like it!
Hi Mike I own four maxima. I have a 2003 maxima with 228,000 miles on it. But the maxima I want now is the maxima you just brought. I'm looking for one to but. You are going to like that car a lot. It might changed your mind about your Mercedes . Lol
Mike, that things was definitely worth what ya paid for it.. although just like Randy said watch out for the CVT. Enjoying the content so far for how long I’ve been here. Can’t wait to see what’s in store. 🫡
Half of the problems are related to the brake switch and probably a abs light lol you get like 7 lights on the dash that only actually means 2 problems you got a good one Mike 👍
Good deal,under the brake padal there is two micro switchs one for brake light ,the other is for delaying start , check those two always giving us problem in starting the car,good luck.
I think the problem with the gear lever is the switch on the brake pedal, that's why it won't let you shift to D and the light bulb is on. Greetings from the Island of Puerto Rico
You will love that car I owned 1 for 6yrs till someone tboned my car back in June 🥺😭 very very easy to work on as well I only went thru 1 transmission with it I sure do miss her I had her nice an a lot maintenance done right before it was totaled
Excited for you to get one of these cars! I feel like you’ll love this car, if you fix the back, but I do wonder what’s up with the transmission not shifting because that is a little worrying to me. I hope you find a fix for that and hope you fix it up and keep it for awhile!
I had the same shifting issue on my 08 pathfinder. Inside the center console I bent a clip back that presses on the brake switch. Never had problems with it afterwards.
Not a bad car. A little bit of tapping out the body to allow the light to seat properly and adding some paint to keep the exposed metal from rusting and a bumper replacement should make it look nice
Fun to watch like allways guys! once i get back from germany 🇩🇪 to cold Canada i will restart my own channel already got 7 cars for it hope you guys enjoy the channel as good as i enjoy yours both Randy's and Mike's ceep up the good content 🍻
Looks good.I'm waiting on a purchase to be delivered from copart also but I don't think my purchase is in that good of shape as yours is.I'm in minnesota ya know .
Great car,can't wait for the next video on it, if I remember correctly I watched somebody with the same problem of not going into gear and it was the brake light switch that was faulty.
Good purchase! Santa can bang out most of the damage in a few minutes possibly. BTW, the one I emailed you about sold for almost nothing and was a flip top as well.

Wait... It's NOT a Mercedes?!?!?! Mnd is BLOWN!!
I'm surprised just like you
True😁😉
Me too
I would like Mike to finish the 190.
#whenmikewhen?
I’m just as surprised as you are
One owner 2009 maxima, 194k miles. Transmission has never failed 🙏🙌
The CVT is always the weak point on those, but that VQ 3.5 is a very smooth and reliable power train.
Yes, get that serviced and the fluid replaced regardless of any factory recommendations and/or mileage.
With the CVTs they NEED to be SERVICED regularly too last longer about EVERY
10 000 kms NO more ( thats what i have heard anyway, i am no expert )
nice Mike!! U got an amazing deal!
i dont think so not because do to the cost of parts
That’s a steal fully loaded 2010 Max ..in Memphis $5000 allll day
17:09 Test your brake lights. I’d be guessing it won’t shift due to a failing brake switch.
Hey those Maxima’s are awesome, they get up pretty good and are pretty reliable!! Happy motoring!!
TRY THIS. Turn key to first click only. Then move shifter to neutral. And start car. Should shift fine until it's placed back in park. Check brake lights or abs
This car is push to start
Nice purchase. I am looking forward to seeing how you fix the rear end. Owned a Nissan Maxima.
16:26 "A lot of gas" That mean you had Taco Bell for lunch? 😉😂
I couldn't get over how clean the trunk was.

You got to love when they put flappy paddle shifters on a car with a cvt transmission.

You need a Porter power to push out dents
Not bad at all Mike, I look forward to you finding out the shift issue! The interior does not look bad at all.
21:07. That should be your signature move right there! The official Mikey Likey Car! ^-^
LOL on the truck fund keep it up mike!
Looks like you got a good deal on it Mike. Nice to see a different flavor of car. 😁
The valve body needs to be changed out for that transmission. I have the Infiniti of that version. 200K Miles
Something also to check on this one is the break light switch behind the brake pedal that also works the release of your transmission selector that might be causing your issue just throwing it out there🙂
Once you daily that Maxima you won´t go back to the Mercedes they are really smooth and good on gas it´s a nice ride take it to Randy´s friends at Maaco they´ll fix it nice and cheap
Mike great purchase fix the car and then flip it to get nice truck for similar year👍🏾
Hay Mike, I was shocked at how clean that was apart from the little bump at the back, the interior looked almost new! What a fantastic deal, really looking forward to watching the videos on this, keep up the fantastic work
I bought a 06 theft recovery with only 68000 OG miles on it. Wife uses it as her daily They’re really fast. Gotta love those paddle shifters.
Thanks for the great content,it's always fun watching you and Randy.
I have a motto for my life.
"Friends don't let friends buy Nissans"
But since Randy didn't know you were buying it, he gets a free pass.
I hope it doesn't give you too much trouble. And also it was really nice the way you helped Randy with the house. You're a good friend. 👍🇺🇲⛽🚙

Check fuses it's a locking mechanism for the shifter I think but it's probably a simple fix
Easy fix. Take the console panel out and there’s a little switch (button ) push in and out easy fix.
Nice one Mike and with good help with Randy😎🔥💪
Nice buy. I'm sure you can fix er up nice! Looking forward to the next video on it! Awesome video!
That's a fully equipped maxima too, aside from the sport spec model that's got basically everything. Should be worth 5-7k all done up I think.
Not with 200,000+ miles on it. Looked at the prices they're bringing and I'm guessing $3500 max and he's likely to have $2500 in it if he doesn't find any big problems. Just like in real estate you make your money when you purchase. Hopefully the videos will make up for his paying too much.
@@rickhmason true, I forgot that it has that many miles on it. It makes a big difference for sure.
Mike hope you can fix and flip this car. So, you can get what you want. Thanks for sharing!
I have a 2011 Altima I've been thinking about doing some videos on. The transmissions are pretty good in the newer ones.
You got me excited. I thought Randy had actually driven the tow truck. Hey, Randy's giving you a truck so why do you need a truck fund! LOL. I had a car that you couldn't put it in gear if the door was open. I like it!

hi Mike, that's a very nice car. I love watching you and Randy all the time. all the way from UK.
Mike, that things was definitely worth what ya paid for it.. although just like Randy said watch out for the CVT. Enjoying the content so far for how long I’ve been here. Can’t wait to see what’s in store. 🫡
I owned a 2011.. loved it! Never had an issue with it! This one’s a good find!
Try replacing the brake like switch to get the gear shift to unlock. Ran Into that issue with my 2011 Armada.
thats a great Maxima Mike, I hope you get maximum enjoyment with it 🤣🤣🤣
It's probably your brake light switch that's keeping it from going into gear. I had that problem with my Expedition.
Nice car. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
I’ve owned 3 vehicles with that VQ35 in it and love them all. Currently drive a 2018 Maxima SR
Half of the problems are related to the brake switch and probably a abs light lol you get like 7 lights on the dash that only actually means 2 problems you got a good one Mike 👍

Nice car Mike . Congrats 👏
I think you got great deal... Congrats
Love love love a freekin NISSAN had an altima 02 5speed v6 loved it miss it so much great direction mike with the channel yes
It’s about time, Mike;; great deal with the Maxima.
They are good cars I had one the back seat has a radio control to I think that one does but it is nice
You will love that car I owned 1 for 6yrs till someone tboned my car back in June 🥺😭 very very easy to work on as well I only went thru 1 transmission with it I sure do miss her I had her nice an a lot maintenance done right before it was totaled
Excited about your new purchase. VIP very nice car I want to see more content on it, Till then stay blessed both of you
Excited for you to get one of these cars! I feel like you’ll love this car, if you fix the back, but I do wonder what’s up with the transmission not shifting because that is a little worrying to me. I hope you find a fix for that and hope you fix it up and keep it for awhile!
You made a good choice love it
Mike check the fuse for the brake lights . It probably shorted out when it got smashed . You just have a bad fuse
Maximas are good cars. That was a good price. It has a ton of miles but shouldn't be a difficult fix. Looking forward to it.
There ya go , Mikey ! Cool choice 👍👏👏👏👏
Hey buddy good luck you need a truck buddy see you soon
I had the same shifting issue on my 08 pathfinder. Inside the center console I bent a clip back that presses on the brake switch. Never had problems with it afterwards.
Not a bad car. A little bit of tapping out the body to allow the light to seat properly and adding some paint to keep the exposed metal from rusting and a bumper replacement should make it look nice
For $1,700 I think Mike got a great deal on the Nissan that's fully louded!😊
Ur tripping that car is a money pit I had one
@@phillyboyrealtalkvideos943
I think your tripping bro,😅
Nissan are great cars...
BMW are money pits like BMW= bring my wallet...😅
Bought a 2009 Nissan maxima and the transmission slips here and there. But a smooth ride when it doesn’t!
Something 'sploded. Hey Lucy! That's entertainment.
Nice purchase.
Mike, what happened to the 190E?
Check the brake switch, if the brake lights don't come on that could be your issue. I know you checked the running lights
Might be the switch at the pedal causing your shifter and brake light
Good purchase mike
Nice
Fun to watch like allways guys! once i get back from germany 🇩🇪 to cold Canada i will restart my own channel already got 7 cars for it hope you guys enjoy the channel as good as i enjoy yours both Randy's and Mike's ceep up the good content 🍻
Mike humming Industry Baby is fire
Now this is great looks like it's gonna be a great car for you to flip keep up the great job you do
Looks good.I'm waiting on a purchase to be delivered from copart also but I don't think my purchase is in that good of shape as yours is.I'm in minnesota ya know .
Can your brake light fuse if it's blown change it out and it will go in gear
Nice score Mike!
Yes nice find needs a little work and I think you will love it yes sir 😊. Fixers up and make a profit for your truck you want.
Yea mike it looks like the button on the shift knob is not working but good looking car and great video
Check the fuses under the hood, I had a Acura rdx that wouldn’t shift like that and it ended up being a fuse
Wow excellent choice can't wait to see how it turns out .
Not a bad car except for the transmission. Good luck with this one.
Pretty Good Deal.$ How many miles are on it?
You might get a new appreciation for Mercedes shift issue is probably brake light switch. Most newer cars are the same way
I've had alot of maxima's. In the past. My last one was a 2014.
Great car,can't wait for the next video on it, if I remember correctly I watched somebody with the same problem of not going into gear and it was the brake light switch that was faulty.
Always interesting to watch ur channel @monkey wrench mike and @Auto action Rebuild great team work
Good purchase! Santa can bang out most of the damage in a few minutes possibly. BTW, the one I emailed you about sold for almost nothing and was a flip top as well.
TRY THE FLAPY PANEL GEAR SHIFT CAUSE SOME CARS YOU CAN HAVE CHOICE USE THE SHIFTER OR THE FLAPY PANEL
Love my Nissans. You got a really good deal! Fix the little stuff on it it would go for 4,500 all day where I live in Tennessee
Excited to see what you do with this out of the norm project! I’d love to see you do a Lexus someday as they are the “Japanese Mercedes” haha
Nice car looking forward to it on the channel
Randy is such a big help rhe car looks good 👍 😊
That's a nice Maxima I'm surprised it it drives good I'm scared of Nissans cuz of the CVTs but that seems to be running good
1th you need a scan tool to reset the tran ! i cannot believe no one pointed that out
If the brake light is on it with activate the shifter lock had I happen on my altima
You did an awesome job find 😊 nice car
you did well nice find sir
Good job on the Nissan
Mike u still AAR head quarter have Randy put on the left to see the unside of the car
