Found a 97 SE, sapphire blue w/ black leather, 38k miles, 5 spd., Bose, sunroof, climate control...absolutely flawless. Talked the dealer down to $16k. Is this reasonable?

Sounds like a fair deal to me. Here in NC the Max is a hot used car. Can't hardly find one even on a Nissan dealer used car lot. Bought my 95 GLE from a friend who got him a 01 Maxima.

Be sure to get the previous name and number, give em a call and ask if the car had any problems. The seller should do that without any hesitation. If he won't I would be leary.

That is a bunch of bull&%%^ on the dealer's part. If they won't give you that info go buy from somebody else. They are trying to hide something.

Sounds good... cept I'll take mine white... WITH BLACK LEATHER>.. god why can't I find a white one with black leather... GRRR and also with auto and less miles for 16k hee hee
Whats the saphire like, is it a very metallic dark blue or sorta dull? There's a color ford had on TBirds & F-150's called Midnight Blue it was a dark Royal/Navy Blue Metallic that was absolutely gorgeous at nite... anything like that?

LOL I see your from Buffalo... what dealer? Mike Barney or Southtowns? I hated Southtowns, I thought they were so rude... that's where I offered 14,500 for the white SE. MB Nissan had a white SE but sold it...

I dont know if sapphire blue is the name Nissan uses for it, it is the name of the factory blue paint on my 300ZX TT.
Its a dark, midnight blue...very nice.
The same dealer has a white 97 SE 5 spd., 44k miles, exterior is totally clean but the leather is pretty beat. $16.5k.

You can get the free basic background check from http://www.carfax.com all you need is the VIN number. If the dealer is reputable, tell him that you are willing to buy it if they show you a complete carfax history report. It only cost $15 or $20 dollars.
My sister bought an altima and the dealer had a full carfax report for every car on the lot...nice selling helper.

Run the V.I.N. through carfax.com. If it comes up legit, sounds like a good deal to me. Also, check the retail value at Edmunds.com or KBB.com
