Well, im in a market for a car again, and was wondering what i should expect to pay for a 2002-2003 nissan maxima 6 spd. With about 70-80K miles at a DEALER???

I see many for 8K price range. Autos go few grand cheaper though...

 

yeah thats about the range for the price 8-9 for that low mileage...

 

8 otd shouldnt be that bad...

 

Depends what addition options does the maxima has though.

 

i never realized how scarce the 6 speeds were... but thats the only option i would need + abs haha

How do you guys like the reliability of 3.5's???

 

I bought mine used with 39k miles in early 06 it now has 86k and I've only replaced the valve cover due to the 03 allowing oil into the rear sparkplug down tubes. Very dependable car, but I now only occasionally drive it hard, (getting older) although I still like to see 90+ mph every once in a while.

 

Yeah i gave up on the 6speed hunt and went with a auto but great car and engine I have only notice a couple of supension issues like wheel bearings and shocks/struts

 

also condition...all the ones I see down here in the Carolinas are about that price range...could vary somewhere else.

 

I purchased an auto 02 with 108k today fully loaded and clean for $5500. Runs and shifts great but it threw a ses while driving home, auto zone pulled a p0037 and p0138 faulty 02 sensor. If that gets rid of the ses then I guess i got a pretty good deal.

 

im a vw guy.. just bought my first nissan today. an 03 blue se auto for a daily. paid 3k for it. has 104k miles on it

had to have something reliable because vw's are JUNK

car is perfect in every way

 

3k for an 03 is a steal.

 

The Car business is pretty bad. People are giving cars away.
Great price on a 03

 

thats a hell of a deal. Does it have that start up clatter in the morning or after it sat for a while? If so they may have thought the engine was going out.

 

sorry but I don't believe you got it for that cheap unless somethings wrong with it, but if everything is clean then great buy man and welcome...... for the 6spd at the dealer with that many miles it will be hard to find with that milege but price would be over 7500 in my opinion

 

Stop it, you guys are depressing me! Now I'm starting to seriously doubt whether I want to put any money into my 02 with 85k.

Maybe I should take that money and put it into my 01 pickup. It's a diesel and worth $10-15k.


Ahhhh, screw it. I'm not planning on getting rid of either one anytime soon.......and it's only money!

 

2002 Infiniti I35- $6100. 96k miles. More features than any of your maximas. (besides 6spd)

Paying $8000 for a maxima is like paying $30,000 for a Honda Accord when an Acura TL goes for $26000

 

I have seen some 04/05 maximas running $9995 to 11995 with 60 to 70k miles on them (granted they have the trans issues) so I would consider that before paying $8k for a 02/03 model.
