Anyone just completely rip somebody off buying their max, or find a low low price at the dealer? Let's hear some good deals you guys have gotten.

 

In Oct 2000, I bought a 2000 GXE with aftermarket HU, 17" Konigs, and Eibach springs, only 12K miles, and all for....... $19,400

I bought my 99 almost 2 years ago GXE 5-spd, with no options with 19000 miles for 13.9 including Tax title emision and plates.

 

i got raped. stupid kid that found a good car but payed too much kinda story. what are ya gonna do?...i'm happy with it though so, once it's payed off, i'll say it's money well spent.

basically: buying from a dealer + automatic + not too high mileage + no dealership experience = lots of $$...well atleast i got a maxima!

 

i wouldnt say i ripped the seller off but.... my mom is an auto financer and goes marketing and doing contract at a bunch of dealerships. well after the years she became friends with the owner and finance manager. they friends of the family now. about a week after my last maxima was totaled he told me he got a nice maxima SE in. i guess some kid traded it in for money towards a new altima. well they gave him a crappy price bacause he was so excited to get an altima. so i got the car for real cheap. its worth about 12 and i got it for 7100! its a 97' 60k miles, black on black, with heated leather and all option and a few pricey cosmetic modifications thats my story, and a long one it was

 

beeyatch!!! just what i was looking for, and i was getting quoted 12k from carmax!!

I have a 91se, got it for 2800 close to 2years ago with 120kmiles....currently have 177k and going strong

 

Everybody who bought a new 98-99 got at least 5500 off list price, with the average in the high 5 to low 6 range, some probably got as much as 6700 off list. But just when we thought we got a good deal, the joke was on us when you see 97 SE's with high mileage going for 8995 at authorized Nissan dealers. It's hard to say what's a good deal on a Nissan.

 

sticker price on the car.. 27,600

i drove the car off the showroom floor and i left.. total price 21,600 including tax title and other stupid fees

 

sticker price $28,900 out the door including extended warranty, taxes, tags, blah blah for $25,000.

 

Got a 2k Black SE. Loaded with every option. 15k miles on it for 18k and 100,000 mile warranty.

 

I had a pretty similar deal to redmaxpa007. $27k sticker, out the door for $21,600. This was back in 99 for a 99SE 5spd. I've seen slightly better deals, but I can't complain.

I bought my 97 5spd GXE 2 1/2 years ago for $10,000
my cousin just bought a 99 5spd SE for $12,400

 

i got the 2k2 infiniti I35 with only 10 miles on it this feb. for 28000.00 walk out

 

brand new 98 gxe for $19k including tax, etc...

 

bought my 97 SE 5spd with 50k miles for $11.5k last november.

 

Last December, got a 98 GLE for $11,500 with 20,000 miles

If I knew the Auto SE's had LSD at the time, I would have opted for that

 

I was offered a 2K3 Maxima SE Auto, Leather w/heated package, Digital Climate, Moonroof, BOSE, Titanium Package. In other words every single option except Navigation for $25,000. However I still wouldnt do it because of the NYC HID theft problem, as well as the horrible resale and huge hit I would take.(2K2 SE's go for an average price of $17.5K at dealer auctions), about 60% of the original sticker price.

 

My 1996 Nissan Maxima GXE had 40k miles when I got it and was owned by old folk, which to me is a bonus.


$9,000

 

the sticker on mine was $21k(13k miles) got it for 11,395 with a trade in of a svt contour but only got 3 for her she wasnt even worth that....

 

In may, I bought a 95 SE Max, leather, bose, 5spd, 73000 miles, fully loaded, V2 SC, 370CC injectors, custom CAI tubing, custom intercooler, reprogrammed ECU chip, blitz blow off valve, 2.87" pulley, EGT and boost guages, HKS twin ignition system, stillen FSTB and RSB, stilley Y, straight pipe, greddy catback, brand new volk te37 wheels with brand new kimho ecsta tiresa and stock rims and tires, tokico struts, eibach springs, stillen cross drilled rotors, stillen metal matrix pads, stillen SS brake lines, centerforce dual stage clutch, and more... all parts with less than 1000 miles.

Total price: $10,500

look on face: priceless


no a scratch on the

 

I got my 97 SE 5 speed with 115k miles a month ago for 6,400$..

My 98 GXE auto w/ sunroof, comfort & convenience package with 57k miles.. 11,700 or so with taxes and other fees.. in august 2001. Thought it was a pretty good deal, considering it's blue book was around 14,500$ or so at the time..

 

Bought a White 99 SE 5-Speed with 38,000 miles, for 13000 in July. It had a stillen intake and was loaded.

 

2k2 se auto maj blue with leather, non-bose no s-roof for 24,500 with t^3 (tax, tag, title. bought april 30, 2002. its now a holiday for me.

 

I paid $19.9K for my SE 5speed brand new in 1997. No options at all on it.

Unfortunately my car is now worth about as much as the 6.4K NYCe Maxima paid. Then again, I'm not selling mine any time soon.

 

i bought 95(100k miles) gxe (jan/2001) for $6800,much better than previous car.

 

Bought my 95 GXE 5 speed for $17,000 new. Bought my 99SE 5 speed with sunroof and c&c package new for $20K even, Sold it 2 years later for $18K...got rid of it before the market on the 4th gens went to hell. STill got the 95 and will run her until she or I die.

 

Finally bought myself a Maxima 3 weeks ago. Here's the details:
1997 GXE 5sp
Bare bones, no options, except floormats (I hate the antenna!!!)
96,000 miles, mix freeway/rushhour
100,000 mile extended warrante, all work done @ dealership with documentation (damn...gave me a huge folder of receipts!)
$6000 cash, no tax.

Anyways, She's about 28ears old, bought the Maxima in 1997, which was her dream car. Now she makes big $ at a movie studio and bought a Bimmer 528, also her dream car. She doesn't want to do her own maintenance so she wanted to sell the Maxima before the warrante expired. The car's seriously like new, inside and out, and smooth/quiet engine (original clutch!) I must agree with Wards saying 1997 Maxima is a top 10 most reliable car.

Thanx to SweetSound2001 on this forum for the hookup and to my dad who checked the car out for me. Lady was crying as I drove the Max away!
