Just to give you a perspective, I got my 02 in August 2007 for 11,500 with 38k miles.

 

If your paying cash, I think you can do better IMO.....

The Max IS clean thou and great miles!

 

I'd say no more than $9k for it.

 

I agree. Somewhere around $9 for a direct sale. I could see a retail lot (like this) asking over $10. But either way, $13 is way too high.

 

gotta remember, its 2009 now.. so somewhat of an "older" car.. even thought the milage is great, the most i would pay is $9500

 

I recently bought a 02 dark brown Maxima SE with 65,000 miles, one owner, clean title, no accident for $7200 from a private party. It doesn't have any options but is in good condition.

 

GUYS! Its got the STOCK NAVI!! (I think)

How rare is that?!

Make a deal and get that car.

Woodgrain sux tho...

 

So? It's rare because on-board nav is lame. Well, unless your business has you driving your personal car to unfamiliar cities.

If you need nav in your own city, you probably shouldn't be licensed to drive.

 

I'm about 15 miles away from that car. OP, are you close to it?

true.

 

I think its too much. I saw a few things in the discription that are false... like it says the car has a tire pressure monitor... they didnt come with. Also says it has heated seats, from what i see it doesnt have the switches. I think i would pass, especially for that price.

 

Oh, nice catch! The heated seat buttons are missing.

This dealership is throwing it out there, looking for a big fish. Unless they catch one, you're going to see that same car for $11k in a few weeks.

Can't fault them for trying. But don't be that fish.

 

If you want the car go offer them $9,000 for it and see what they say. Keep moving up in very small increments like $200.00.

One thing to remember when negotiating a car deal. Your offer should have nothing to do with their asking price. There's no formula or rule that says you have to offer them colse to the asking price. You figure a value and start below that. Even if it's way below what they're asking. Car lots leave a lot of room to negotiate and still make money. They have to, and they don't overpay for cars so they have a lot of room in that car.

 

12 is WAY too much, it's 09 and I just got a black on black fully loaded w.o navi with 65k for 7 FROM a dealer... 6mt also.. prices for these cars aren't what they were. Offer 8.500.. unless your a hardcore enthusiest.. Don't let the navi make the buy for you. I heard they SUCK, and sure as hell aren't worth 2,000.gl

 

Ditto

 

The nav is good for a factory system but I sure wouldn't pay a premium for it. These days you can get a really nice portable nav for a few hundred dollars or less.

 

Looks clean but like everyone else said they're asking to much.Try offering around $9500 and make sure it has all the options that they're advertising.Also run a carfax on it to make sure no problems exist.

 

lots of replies thanks for the advice guys, i do think i am going to pass on this car and just wait for a better deal.


thanks for all the help.

 

How do you know if it's a good deal or not? Did you make an offer?
I've spent the last 6 years selling cars at large dealerships and I'm telling you this. Forget the asking price. Find the right car and make an offer based on what you think. Not on their asking price.
I can't tell you how many times I've made 3 to 4 thousand dollars profit on a car then turned around and sold a similar car for a few hundred profit.

 

thats alot for a car pushing 7 years old

 

I just bought on friday a 02 with 87k 6spd, with nav, SE no leather and much else for options. 7k. well I payed $5500 and traded him my 96 for the rest.

Ha wow now thats funny.
