with 50k mi......this may sound nuts, but i'm planning to get my 3rd maxima. I already owned an 02se auto and a 97gxe. The 97gxe seems to be on its last legs with 177k and our family needs at least 2 cars, so i wanna get rid of it soon. We just bought a house so we really can't afford a new car. Wonder what prices you guys think i should pay. I've checked edmunds tmv but the dealer pricing is like 2-3k above tradein, i'm thinking if i offer 1k above the tradein price to a dealer, would that still be reasonable. thx.

 

specs? 5 speed? What numbers have you come up with so far? bone stock? condition? clean title? etc. etc.

Asking how much with just a car and mileage can vary thousands of dollars depending on features, condition, etc. etc. etc.

 

it's an auto gxe, am/fm cassette, keyless entry, power driver seats, air con. I haven't check the condition yet, but assume it's excellent-good, mechanically and exterior/interior and clean title.

 

What are they asking for it? Our dealers advertise 11-13K, 13K for 50K miles, less money for higher miles-but those prices are high because there are few used Maximas. I bet they sell cheap at auction (5 years old) and with the depressed used car economy, I doubt the dealer bought the trade in for much. I wouldn't worry about being fair to the dealer. Start low and work your way up slowly. Although the local area that you are in, may have higher prices.

 

The one i'm interested in w/ 50k mi is asking for 9.9k from an small dealer, the average around here for 99gxe/se is between 8.9k to 11k w/ mileage in the 60-70k range from the larger dealers (nissan/mitsu/honda)....thanks for your advice though.
