Should I get this 2k2 maxima?
its a blue 2k2 maxima fully loaded with 13k on it. tan interior and looks like new from the inside.
I test drove it alone and what can i tell you, that car is a beast compared to my 2k1. i didnt like that drive by wire throtle, you dont feel a 100% connected with the gas. but it will grow on me.
steering is softer and easier but i love the HID lights. the interior looks a lot more refined and the car feels like it was built with a lot more quailty to it.
the dealer wants 23.5 grand for it and he wont go down, i checked the KBB and that's the price for the retail. you got to consider that its really low mileage car, 12.8k for almost a 2 year old car.
should i go for it?

check www.autotrader.com or www.carsdirect.com and check similar cars in your area to get better idea. That dealer is a joke.
Good luck

'03 SE/GXE/GLE generally available (what's left of them) for MSRP-$6000 in north coastal California. Many SEs went for $22,000-24,000. Hertz has literally thousands of '02 SE for $17,000-19,000 with 20,000-25,000 miles and 100,000 mile warranties.

edmunds.com TMV is bull!
23.5 for that max is robbery (by the dealer). you could get a new 03 w/everything but nav for 24-25K EASY!
hertz is selling 2k2's for 16K!
a 2k2 w/low miles, lthr, etc should not be over 19.5K!!!
good luck

GA Auto Trader has a few good '02-'03 Maximas in there right now, and they'll come off the price a good bit over what's listed. They have a fully loaded (that's every option available) '03 SE 6 speed for $22,900 and I talked them down $2K over the phone. They are willing to make deals if you know what you're talking about and have your research done before you get to the dealer...

Where can I buy one of those Hertz cars for 16K?
Also, I am having trouble finding nice 02 or 03 cars (ie with options) for any reasonable price. prices listed on websites are around 25 K I went to a dealer and I told him I was in the 15-18 price range he told me that I'm looking at 2000s not 01s or 02s they're more in the 20-25k price range

I'd suggest you don't listen much to the advise you get about buying a car from a rental place on this forum. Do your homework. I was totally against it until I did a ton of research. I couldn't have made a better decision. Plus, I got an 8 month old car for under $16K. Yeah, it had 25K miles on it, but so what? I'll be keeping it for a while ...
Good luck!
