2003 Maxima only 58,000 kms - is it worth it?

Hey guys,

I found a maxima with only 58000 kms selling for $7900. I really REALLY liking the low mileage but I'm wondering if its worth it based off of the price. I prefer driving a manual and was also considering down the road, how much a manual conversion would cost me.

What is your take?

Omg I didn't realize there was a sticky in this thread! My apologies

I guess it may be cheaper for the US market considering the CDN dollar is really, really bad... Its more like $6250 USD right now ughhh

Still over priced at USD equivalent.

Then you want to spend more on converting to a manual trans. That could be another $1000 with you doing the labor.

I don't know this is kindaaa tempting, if you could negotiate for $6700ish I would get it
But I don't think I would do a 6MT conversion

If you're interested I might have a 2003 maxima 6spd hsld 138k available soon.

It's been garaged for the past 4 months and has the p300 code so needs a tuneup.

It has Jic coilovers, a34 rims, cattman Catback, stillen lip, ionic rears lip, nwp spacers...

Was gonna put it back to stock and part out but if I get the right offer I'll sell as is.

Pm me if interested.

Considering that it books for $8,034, I'd say that's a fair price. http://www.kbb.com/nissan/maxima/200...=private-party
I would offer the person $7k if I were you though

In the Canadian market Maxima's don't hold their value as well as they do compared in the US.
They generally go for less than the USD market

Hmm. I didn't even know that. I just figured it would be the same all around.

Looks clean, perfect for 6spd and other things. 36k miles should be brand new like.
