Traded the Maxima
It has been a pleasure to chat with everyone on the Org. Today I traded in my 2004 Maxima for a 2005 Q45 Touring Edition with 17K miles on it! Got the car for 27K and they gave me 10K for my 04 Max with 91K miles on it. The car is certified for 100K warranty both powertrain and bumper to bumper. It was a good day to buy this car, I didn't have to give them my 19" HP EVO rims either!!! I will figure out something to do with them later.
The car is immaculate, I will post pics tomorrow, it is Ivory with chrome rims. the car has reclining rear seats and power sun shades on the rear and side windows. The V-8 is powerful!!! Again it was a pleasure to be on the Org and read and participate in the conversations.

I think if you catch those guys when they want to sell cars they will give you what you want for your trade. I was thinking they would offer me around 8-9K but they surprised me and I jumped on the deal, especially since my timing chain tensioners were making noise ($2500 repair).

Congrats on the purchase, what made you switch over though? I thought I read in your part out post that you were gonna go with something with a smaller engine. You surprised me and went the other way.
Post some pics of the new ride.

Another selling point was giving my 10K for my 04 Maxima with over 91K miles!! I really enjoyed the maxima, great car, only real problem was the suspension and I swapped that out a while back. I wanted a RWD sedan but didn't want to pay 60K to get one.

Yeah man you gotta super good deal for both of ur cars. But the only thing that I might have problem with is that V8 engine. You know that this car is not gonna be an everyday car with that V8. Gas is at almost $5 a gallon and the price of it is only gonna rise. but I will wish you luck and stay away from the cops.

Sweet trade, one I would have made, enjoy the new car and post up some pics, and gas for the Q45 should not be that much more, on fueleconomy.gov in a side by side comparison the Q is 2-3mpg less then the Max, so granted it's gonna cost an extra 100-200 more a year to enjoy a car that flies in under the radar behind the 7Series and SClass

I always liked those cool round lights on the Q and it is loaded with features too. Man that was indeed a steal of a deal you got! Plus that low mileage...Who was driving it? A grandmother? Does you car have that intelligent cruise control with the radar thingy? They have some of the nicest interiors I have ever seen in a luxury vehicle...does yours have the leather stiched dash too? Enjoy your new ride and Felicitations!
BTW, I've been to Virginia Beach 2 times since I've been married in 1989. Love the beach...There used to be an all you can eat seafood (more like all the food that I see I eat LOL) restaurant called Captain John's ...is it still around? I remember visiting Chuck Norris's Gym and there was this great amusement park that had the best GO Karts and GO Kart track I have ever seen since....like little Indy cars! That was cool and fun too! Actually all of VBeach is cool and fun come to think of it...especially to a frozen Canadian popsicle! LOL!

Thanks Xorbitman,
I've been living here for 13 years, I'm in the Navy. I love Va Beach, and yes the all you can eat seafood place is called "Captain George's" and the go Kart park is called Ocean Breeze, my youngest daughter works there. The car has the intelligent cruise control and back up camera, voice activated controls, reclining rear seats with heat, electric rear sunshade on so on... It has so many features for the 2005 model year. I couldn't let it go at that price, even if it is a V8. Have a great Sumer!!

Yeah that's it, Ocean Breeze...nice place.
Cool! Imagine voice activated controls and a back up camera on a car from 2005 when most cars didnt' even have a screen yet too! Does it also have GPS? With that low mileage I would have been really tempted too! Did you make sure they didn't tamper with the odometer? BTW, sometimes a V8 could be as frugal as a V6 as it will run on lower RPMS on the highway. Remember the Cadillac with the Northstar engine that would shut down a bank of cylinders on the highway to run like a 4? Nissan should have had that trick too.
The price of oil went from over $150 a barrel to under $128 in one week...hopefully it will go back to where it's supposed to be...under $100. Then we good all go back to our favorite pass-time....driving!
Have a nice summer Mike!

Damn congrats on the purchase. WTF They only offered me $11,000 today on my 04 with 60,000 miles. They told me they would give me less if I traded it in with my exhaust and 20" rims.... and I said don't worry everything will be stock if I decide to do the deal. And again as everyone said. PICS!

^^$11,000!!!! And they will turn around and sell it for $16,000!!! Damn stealerships. It's strange that back in 06, I traded my 2001 Max GLE with 87K in for the 04 and got $12,000. I guess i'll be keeping the 04 for about 2 more years.

I posted pics a couple of days ago, they moved them to the "other cars" section. I was at the dealership yesterday, my best friend bout a 06 M45 at a hellova price and my max was selling at 13,8K. Those guys are really shady at the staekership.
