Should I buy?

Hello everyone. I've been out of the Maxima scene for a while, my last Max was a 95 SE 5spd which I owned like 3 years ago and loved that car Well, I'm looking at a new(er) car from my 96 Pathfinder and came across a pretty nice Maxima. It's a 2002 SE 6spd with ~75k miles. Here's the ad. I went today to look at and drive it. It was very clean inside/out/under. Ran a car fax and came back with a clean 2 owner history.

The dealership was firm at $12,000 but I told them I'd do $11,000 and at first said no. I got a call from them saying $11,400. They need a 'yes' or 'no' answer from me today. What do you think, is it worth $11,400?

stick with 11..they will agree. $400 for a dealership is nothing and its not worth losing a car over (from their end). Dont be afraid to hang up or cut the convo short. Say $11 and be firm with it...g/l

KBB listed the car at $13,130 for dealer.

I'm just asking to see what you guys would do in my shoes.

Lets just say, I paid 11500 6 months ago for an 02 silver 6speed w/leather (showroom condition interior, and 8.5 /10 exterior [crappy nissan paint ]) 58k miles, w/o LSD, w/o NAV but everything else. One owner car, garage-kept, accident free. So, I don't know if that helps, but 11k sounds fair
