I'm thinking of going to test drive it, and maybe lowball the sales guy and see how well that goes.

What do you guys think about it?

 

Price is fair IMO, but that is a lot of miles for a used car. The one thing going for it is that it is a 6 speed.

 

That's a lot of miles for 03....
I just picked up an 03 Polished Titanium with all options except NAVI. It has the HLSD package too. I got it for 17K....and it only had just under 15K miles. Maybe try to get one with like 40K miles....90K is a LOT

 

One thing that i considered when i got mine is how many miles per year were put on the vehicle... 98K/3 Years... thats 30k a year which is a LOT! But to get that many miles, your going to have to be doing a TON of Highway miles... Plus its a Nissan, they keep going and going... My sister has a 85 with 383K last time i hear with original engine/transmission.

 

At that price, Go for it

 

yup 90K is too much for me too

 

Did you pick up your car from a member on the org? I believe the same car was being sold in NY?

 

As always... before you buy always run a Carfax.... just to make sure it wasnt sitting in like 3 ft of water in Katrina or anything if ya know what I mean, but thats a good deal for the year and milage...

 

actually bought it off someone on nycmaximas.org
And it was in NY.

THere WAS a maxima on www.autotrader.com with like 10K miles....same options as mine but SHEER SILVER....he was in NYC also ....but the guy never called me back so I'm assuming it's sold...

 

I purchased mine 2 weeks ago from the nissan dealership with 57k miles for $17k...2003 6 speed. damn 90k miles is alot for an 03 though

 

Too many miles.

 

went to go look at it, its long gone

 

...............

 

Heheh. Nm...

 

lol its alright, i maybe have another one lined up

 

damn 2 year old car with 90,000. WTF

 

Most 03's were manufactured in 02, and sold in 02 as well. The last 03's were made in January 03.

 

just keep looking.... that one wasn't the right one....too many miles....

 

Hey 'So' it's funny to see you on here, didn't realize you were. I inquired about your 240 when you had it for sale a few weeks back. Hope all is well, so you're wanting a Max now?

I like my 6-speed too much and decided not to sell it of course. That was a real good deal regardless of the miles I think. You shouldn't be concerned of those miles.....it's of course a Nissan basically in it's breakin period.

Good Luck on your find, and you'd def like all the options that one had.

p

 

almost 100k miles.. lol.

 

I have 80k on my 02 and would never sell it that low!

 

The miles reflected the good price.

 

not off the kelly blue book price i conjured up online..

 

Are we looking at the same book? If anything, I'd say better than on the money.

Since we don't have more pics and description of the condition, I took the mid point. Since the retail states that the dealers are expected to recondition, then you could assume it's in good shape.

Not to mention that it doesn't state HSLD anywhere either.

Judging by these numbers, he'd be screwed if he would have bought it and traded it in.

Consumer Rated Condition: Good
"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history , the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category.

Trade-In Value List Your Car For Sale Online $8,480
Trade-in Value is what consumers can expect to receive from a dealer for a trade-in vehicle assuming an accurate appraisal of condition. This value will likely be less than the Private Party Value because the reselling dealer incurs the cost of safety inspections, reconditioning and other costs of doing business.

 

haha, yeah its sold, I'm just on the hunt for another vehicle.

these things are pretty hard to come by though

 

yea when i did the entry, i put 'good' condition and ended up under 10k and looking at your list, they are pretty similar... dunno your entitled to your own opinion just as i am. i did the kbb entry, and off that decided too many miles.

 

no worries, i was just letting you know i came up with different numbers with the information i put in. i really still don't think 100k is high for a nissan, for a 2003 yes, it's definately high. for something as reliable, it's really not. then again this is coming from a guy that drives this much, so if you drive 10 - 20k a year, i can see how that would be different.

 

damn sizzoooo you are everywhere, Im looking to get one too. I just sold my 240sx

 

got my 03 TE polished titanuim 6speed. loaded with everything cep navi for about 17,000 with about 40,000. Keep looking. I just searched autotrader and there are not many 6speed out there right now for some reason. When i was looking i had lots to chose from
