I've been seeing various prices for the Nissan Maxima - Sometimes all the way upto $8500 and sometimes as less as $4000.

Considering a Nissan Maxima from 2009 - 2013 between 100k to 160k Miles - What do you think the cars are worth? Or a rough range of cost?

Just want to hear people's opinions! Thanks!

 

Sam, I have a 2010 in great condition body, mechanical, and interior wise, with a ton of new parts I replaced just because they were original and for the mileage. If I'm being realistic my car is worth $2500 - $3000, with 195k miles.

If I found a 2013 with 100k - 120k miles I would be willing to pay $6500 - $7000 for it, anything higher than that I would say $5000k. But that's just my opinion, it would need to have all the major services done, no rips in the seats, and no rust spots. And that's because my car has none.

 

There’s two answers to that, the value of what someone is willing to sell for and the amount the buyer is willing to pay. Those answers can be different ! Find someone who is willing to sell for that is less than what you think it’s worth!

 

I've got a 13 SV with 93K on the clock. Excellent condition and excellent maintenance record. Nothing yet needed other than normal wear parts. I think your assessment of 6.5 to 7K is accurate. To a knowledgeable 3rd party buyer that is. Probably try to give me 5K as a trade-in car.

 

Really boils down to condition, mileage and location. The cheaper cars are either people trying to get rid of a headache, or looking for a quick sale. The higher priced cars are either in excellent condition with low miles, or people who are in no hurry to sell and are hoping for top dollar.
