This is my first post here, so I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum...anyway...

I found this Maxima at Yahoo, and this was the link to more info:

http://www1.getauto.com/search/car_d...CA31D7YT749727

It seems to be really cheap, especially for the mileage...does anyone see anything that is obviously wrong with it or no of anything that could cause to be so cheap?

Thanks.

If you're interested in it, try to obtain the service record for it or run a lemon check on it. Go inspect the car and look for panels/seams that doesn't quite fit together right or off color paint...that would indicate body damage. Otherwise, that is an awesome deal...unless it's a miss print.

It think it is a typo. B/c if they were selling at that price someone who worked there would have purchased the car just to resale to make profit. You should call the dealer to find out and run the VIN# through carfax.com. Keep us posted.

too good to be true....

that looks to be an obvious misprint, and if it isn't, then its probably gone. you should call the dealer up and ask about it. glad to see another patel on this board

I e-mailed the person and gave him a call, but he wasn't available so I left a message for him. Thanks, David, for helping out.

I was just looking on Yahoo! and saw that this car had been posted 3 different dates with the same price of $10991. Here is the link:

http://classifieds.yahoo.com/display...cs=time+2&cf=1

And the price is also posted in this other ad:

http://carstreams.com/Forms/YahooInf...&StockNo=T2268

Including the first posted link, that makes five places where the price is $10991, so I think its a legit deal. Hopefully there's nothing wrong with it and no one's bought it already. Man, I want this car! It will be a great upgrade from my current 1991 Nissan Stanza.

I'm not positive if it is the photo or what, but the front fenders look darker than the rest of the car. Anyone else notice this?

Do that. Print it off and take it to the dealer and tell them that you had to drive so far to get there. It is illegal to post one price and sell it for another. It is almost like bait and switch! Their loss your gain!
