Traded mine today -- Real Value
Well, KBB is not what the dealers go by, so your only hope of minimizing lost is by selling the car yourself.
I got 21,400 for my SL, while payoff was 24,000. That's a hefty loss for a car I've had one year (almost to the day) w/ 10,040 miles.
Oh well, live and learn.
BTW--I loved the car. Just had a new baby and trying to drop montly outlays...

Yeah maxima resale sucks severely, which is why they're so great to buy a couple of years old.
I don't know if I'd trust those numbers. An 04 sentra spec v with 15k miles and excellent condition is claiming to be worth $14,700 private party, but in fact I almost bought a brand new one in december and it would have cost me that from the dealer. I seem to recall I could have gotten it for about $14,500 in fact or $15k.

Below is a link to an interesting article. Kiplinger listed the Maxima #1 for retaining it's value after 3 years over 42% of other non-luxury cars. Higher than a Honda Accord. I've never owned a Maxima before, but I've owned 3 other Nissans. Never had a problem with resale value, but I keep my cars like brand new. My last car, a Pathfinder, I kept for 6 years and got top dollar for it.
If you're someone that trades in every 2 years, then you're going to get screwed, not just with a Maxima, but with most cars. I sold an Acura after 9 months and I got screwed royally, but the loss at the time was worth it to me. I guess I'll never know until I actually go to trade in or sell, but as of now I have no immediate plans to do so. I love this car!
