I'm fed up with this car. I've had fun with it, but time for something more reliable.

More details about the car:

2004 Maxima SE 6 speed manual
55,000 miles
Fairly clean, body is nice with a very small amount of clear coat peeling off by the tail light from when my neighborhood got egged.
Eibach springs/GR2 struts
Cross drilled and slotted rotors
Continental extreme sport tires on the front
Nexen N3000 or something like that in the rear
More details in my sig.

Let me know if you guys want to know anything else about the car to help give a somewhat accurate estimate.

Thanks guys.

 

You'd be better off with parting out mods. You wont get anything extra for them and people don't care for them in general. With that mileage and condition warranting there are no interior pics you'd be looking at anywhere from 4-5K
It also depends on what options you got. If your car just plain maxima, 4K is pushing it.

 

I wouldnt pay more than 3k kowing it was tracked. Plus, repairing the transmission is going to be expensive.

 

I would say 1,500.

 

See if it drives and take it to CarMax. You might get an offer.

Personally, how much do you think it is worth?

 

Don't bother going to places like carmax, they will low ball you so hard. They'd give you 1-1.5K at best.

 

I was thinking I might be able to get $4k for it.

Any more opinions? Thanks guys!

 

At this point that I know you have a price for it, I will suggest you post it on craigslist and see what kind of responses you get. That is a start. It is good that you do have in mind what you would like to get for the car.

Try that. I hope you get what you want for the car.

 

$4k for a shell basically? A bit high if you ask me. Not sure hows the used car market in your area but around here, prices have come down quite a bit over the last 12 months. Even a 6th gen with low miles, when you consider it needing a new engine AND the transmission....Id say $3,500 would be pushing it. Just my $0.02.

 

Where are you guys getting your prices? No offense some on this board know nothing of the prices they are throwing out. Seen used engines for this car in the $700 to $900 range and transmission around $900 to $1500

There's always a buyer that will pay for what you are asking for it make some time but it will happen

 

Not everyone is good with a wrench. Add another 1K to actually put in said engine and transmission.

 

I understand that I am not a wrench in either but what've seen in Az is they will install for under $500, most places in towns that can get you a used engine will install it for you for a deal

 

$500? Sounds too good to be true. $700 bare minimum. Besides for $500 il probably get a half assed job with me spending days troubleshooting later.

 

Offtopic but how'd you blow it up?

 

I would guess on the track...
