worth buying?

Hey guys. I came across a Merlot red 02 maxima today. Its auto with no options but the sunroof and spoiler. 68k miles for $12,999. Should I go for it or are there most likely better priced cars out there?

No no, I used to have the 03 Titanium but I ended up selling it like a retard. Im driving an accord right now and am DYING to get back behind the wheel of a Maxima, the 7th gen accord sucks.

I'm a used car dealer in Canada and i think thats a decent pricedepending on model, but if you look hard enuf there are better prices out there. I saw about 7 or 8 03 maximas go up for auction last week, all GLE models, with km ranging from 80-130k kms, prices between 9800-14,000 dealer prices. If it feels right then get it

My friend just got a 02 same color as the one you are looking at for 13,000. It's a GLE and has every option, and only had 75k miles. I think you could do a little better, but like R1C3RCKT said "if it feels right then get it."

Man., the price is in the neighborhood. If you think it feels right, get it.

I payed 11200 for my 01 about 11 months ago. It had exactly 50k and was in impecable condition. Also had every option available, but it FELT right.
