I think thats good deal. Some guys will give you some bs about how the average price is below that for a 2k2. My thinking is since the market is flooded with ragged on maxima rentals, lowering the going rate and the fact that its a 6-speed with only 9k for 20.5 after taxes, that its a good deal.
Also depends on your area really.
I paid 20.5 for my 2k2 6-spd, w/leather, sunroof, bose and 12K miles a few months ago. But before taxes.

I paid $22.5 3 months ago for a 2K2 SE 6 speed with moonroof, leftover on the showroom floor 11 miles on it. The great deals on 2K3's ($20K) are few and far between...All in with tax, title, finance and extended warranty I paid $26K.
So, I am driving a 2K2 with 3,400 miles on it...less than most 2K3's.
I don't have leather or Bose but I put my own system in and after much thought decided that I won't be putting in aftermarket leather. I would rather spend the $1300 towards the future SC or some other performance upgrade.

I am not going to BS but will tell you straight up, 20.5 is a lot for a used 2k2 with no options but the sunroof. Cmon guys the invoice on brand nwe 2k3 SE 6spd is 23.8 with delivery+tax and tages (about 25 on the road). A moonroof adds 800 to the invoice. And thats all for 2k3 not 2k2 dammit. A car that is 2 model years old should cost at least 3 grand less than invoice.

It's used private party....no sales tax. It blue books at $21,500 (private), $23,700 (retail).....
Also, one MAJOR factor to consider......
After doing a NATIONWIDE search on Autotrader.com, there are a total of FOUR 2002 6 speeds available, ranging in price from $21,900-$23,400.
Automatics are a dime a dozen......but I'm not looking for an automatic, especialy one that has been a rental car.

"A car that is 2 model years old should cost at least 3 grand less than invoice."
So invoice on this 2k2 was $23,800 + 800 (sunroof) = $24,600
The car is being sold for the fabulous price of $20,500
So that's $4,100 less than invoice for a car with less than 10k miles that will be one year old on April 26th of this year. And yet 20.5k is paying too much!

I agree with Matt, 2k2 at that price is a good deal, some members on this board will say that this car can be gotten for 16K, show me one that is selling for that price. That is not a prior rental auto, 2k2 autos are going for 19K here in the DC area and that is for a car with a sunroof and standard features.
Andy this is a good deal and I would do it, all those saying its not haven't a clue, so all those saying this is not a good deal, just shut your holes and zip it.

Buying from an .org member carries a special risk of a car to be raced. C'mon show me a guy calling himself a car enthusiast who had never opened the full throttle. To each his own, but the same car in just 6 mos. will cost 16 grand.

Taking a car to full throttle is healthy for the car
Not changing the oil regularly is not.
Not letting a car warm up is not.
Not taking care of the paint is not.
Not being aware of how to save a clutch is not.
Letting bird crap sit on the hood is not.
Need I go on?
YOU try looking for a 6-speed maxima. Come back and tell us how easy it is to find one.

Hey Asu..bottomline...you seem like a smart guy, you should know what you want and know what you are willing to pay for it.
Hey if it was me, I'd go new, at least pay a couple extra grand, and have the piece of mind knowing it was you and only you driving it, knowing how yourself drives....
But to me, 6 speed is not a consideration being the fact that I live in NYC and traffic is horrible enough, I don't need to complicate things further...
Make a decision and be happy with it.....thats the only rationale in my mind...

Of course the car was redlined. Heck, you should have seen Andy test driving it!!
I can guarantee you he's gonna be driving this car harder than I ever did!!! I was sitting there thinking... "geez... this kid only needs a 3 spd transmission... 4th - 6th is going to lock up and freeze from lack of use!"I'm sure Andy will be happy with the car and I am happy to be rid of it.

Believe it or not, I was actually testing the VIAS to see if it kicked in. And I am happy with it....having trouble getting the damn taillights out, but I am VERY happy with it......
By the way, in case any of you were wondering, it's sitting in my garage right now.
