Not too bad, I'd see if they could come down a bit as mileage is somewhat high

Yes, I would say, try to get them to lower the price. The KBB value is the start of the negotiation price...if you can get it for less, that's even better for you.

Make sure you check the service history, they can be found on carfax report or in the user manual in the golf compartment. If they agree on the price, don't forget to inspect that first. Usually around $60-80 if you bring it to the Nissan Dealership or lower at independent shop.

I disagree....I don't think that it is a good deal. $12k for a car that has 90k miles on it. That is a lot of money for that car.

You also want to check the service records. Things you want to know are, how has the tranny be taken care of, when were the brakes and struts were replaced, and when were the tires replaced.

I would say save your cash for another year and get a 07. At least it has the CVT with the 120k warranty on it.

If you can afford the '07, of course it is better. 30k less mileage and 2 years newer for only $3k more...sounds like a better deal.

But definitely get a car fax to make sure the maintenance was done properly. Also keep looking I found my Max it was a 05SL over two years ago with 20k on the odometer they tried to sell it for 20k and I let it sit there and then checked again 2 months later went to the dealer and paid 17000 for a fully load car.I am at 60k on the miles and I had to have the tranny replaced under warranty but no other problems than that. I love the car rides very smooth and has great power, same color as the one your looking at.

not bad man -- as some of the guys said, it all depends on how the previous owner/s took care of it.

you could be like my buddy and end up with an 06 Mazda 3 that is pretty much a piece of junk now thanks to the previous owner who just destroyed the poor car. Just be careful and you should be fine buddy
