For those who have that generation Maxima and have taken the 90,000
mile service plunge, can you give me idea what I can expect to pay. I
know that the car will need a new fuel filter, belts, hoses, air
cleaner and fluid changes. Brakes are fine. Is there anything else
on the schedule to be changed/inspected? I'd do this myself, but I'm
just too busy with the day job to get to it. Thanks.

Seriously, I'm looking for an estimate because that's exactly the point.
As a consultant, time is money. If I take time off to get the parts and
do the job, it's sometimes cheaper to take it in and have someone else do
it.

Hope you're making $75+ an hour after taxes/expences doing this
consulting..

The real question is whether your car needs the things they will do in
a typical 90k package. If you are convinced it does, then the only
way to find out how much you can expect to pay is to contact your
local dealers or favorite shop. The all have their own idea of what
you should do, and charge what the local market will bear..

You might could save yourself a bundle by asking them to do specific
things instead of asking for a service package. The things you are
concerned about as a start.

By the way... the official schedule is in your warranty booklet. You
might be surprised to find how little is actually on it compared to
what the dealer will be pushing.

My dealer charges just under $500 for the 90K maintenance for the 4th gen
maximas.
