You can try and sell them on e-bay or CL, but they are not really worth anything. You can be sure that any auto parts store can buy a set of new shocks for next to nothing.

I saw somewhere that an Altima owner had the Maxima ones on his car. I can't remember who though. It looked pretty good though... Just didn't seem right having something that says Maxima on an Altima..

my review of the weather tech all weather mats I just got

Quote:
They don't fit...... No place in the description does it mention that these are "general fit" mats. and "some vehicle specific" means probably not your vehicle. The service rep kept repeating "out of the thousands of mats we have found these to fit your vehicle best" then told me they would only refund me the purchaser price and not the shipping cost. After I asked for a supervisor I was granted a full refund, but still got stuck with the return shipping cost. this is my first bad experience with weather tech and their products and my first terrible buying experience iv ever had. very upsetting.
yes this happened..yes i posted this review on their site
