Im thinking about picking up a 2001 Maxima SE with bose cd, 17" wheels and no leather with 18,500 miles in nyc for $12,500. Going to take a final look at the car tomorrow.

1 - Is this a good asking price for the car?

2 - Anything i should look out for, in terms of common problems with this year, make, model?

3 - What are some general maintenance costs that i am looking at for this car?

Thanks in advance

I own a used car lot in Mass, and I can tell you that that's a low a$$ price. At the Nissan auction in CT they do a lot more than that. I got someone an 01 GLE with 31k and I paid around $15,500. And that's at a dealers only auction. If it's a dealer, it could be a unibody/frame car. Do a carfax. If it's clean, buy it.

By the way, great price, great deal, no problems to look forward to other than new rotors pretty soon.

around how much will this cost me? and is this frequent, as in not something that is fixable in terms of ware on the rotors?

how easy is it to fix the car on your own? i am a diyer so i like to fiddle with things.

thanks for compliments on the name

I have a 2K1 and the only problems that i've had are warped rotors and MAF problems like everyone else. The MAF problems may be due to the K&N filter that I had in there. That's still up for debate.
