3rd gen to 5th gen ftw

 

drove the car today..****ING BEAUTIFUL. super black with black leather, all the options; in the process of getting the best financing; looks like ill be driving it home tomorrow!!!!!!

 

Private sale or lot?
Ballpark price?

I am thinking of selling mine (at times) and curious as to what they go for in real life versus the crap shown on KBB.

 

from a nissan dealer. $13000.

they lowered it to $10,888 because i am getting $1000 trade in for my 92 gxe, and i still owe $2000 after that on that car (refinanced auto transmission), so it comes to 12,888, which is a hundred dollars less than what they are selling it for. im actually getting it for the $10,888 since im upside down on my 14 year old car.

my dad bought his 2000 gxe 2 years ago for $12,000.

they generally sell for $12000 with the 50k miles on them. lots look at mileage on them like theyre domestic or something....my gxe has about 190000 on it. and it still runs like a beast...just too slow to keep up with the newer cars, you know? lol.

 

Thanks for the input. I have 47.5 on mine. So that give me a good idea.
