Buying 2k Max From Dealer Tomorrow

HI,
I AM BUYING A 2K MAXIMA SE TOMORROW - AUTO, SUNROOF, NO LEATHER, 28 K MILES - MINT CONDITION FROM THE BAY RIDGE NISSAN DEALER - WE MADE A DEAL FOR AROUND $18,500 - GOOD DEAL OR NOT ? IT WILL COME OUT TO AROUND 20 k ... WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

THANKS.

I personally do not think it is a good deal. I bought my loaded 2k in June of 01' for 18,500. You could probably find a 02' for just about 20-21k.

check www.kbb.com

Personally, that doesn't sound too stellar of a deal.

No way should you take that deal. Look around autotrader and classifieds for a better deal on a 2k2. That's way too much for a 2K.

You'd better change your sig..... It looks like it'll be Anaheim and San Francisco.

$18.5K, no leather no Bose. I'd say the dealer is making a killing of you. I have a 2K, Bose, fully loaded, leather, comfort & convenience, fully loaded. I'd be lucky to get $15K for it, it has 58K on it. Not only is it a three year old car, but, you'll have to replace the rotors(all of them), factor that into the cost of the car. Good luck, happy hunting.

I've seen used 2k2's for around that price and you get a more potent engine. Do a little more research, and I am sure that you do much better than that deal.

Just my opinion..

I'd say you should pass too or negotiate a better price. If the car was a local trade-in, the dealer probably has no more than $15k in it, so he may end up making a killing on you. BTW, Hertz regularly sells 2k2 SEs with auto, no leather or Bose with ~20k for $18-18.5k.

An example of what we are talking about. This is a 2k2 with all of the equipment that is in the one that you described minus the sunroof for $18,988.00.

Check it out for yourself...

Here we go again! Bay Ridge Nissan to the RIPOFF!!!
Bridgemax, do not take any of the comments te wrong way, the guys here are 100% right. Why not add another 2-3 thousand and have a brand new car with 3 year warranty instead? More importantly, the car you are about to buy is just not worth that money??
Why don't you go to an auction anyway? I am sure you can get the same car for around $15-16K.

Before you do that, buy mine

Equipped with everything you said above except my six has 11.6k miles. Bought late 09.2000.

Cared for by me and a knowledge base backed by the .org. Can't beat that, not even with quantity of the bull**** that is churned out by nissan service dept.
