Looking to buy this Maxima, is it worth it?

Hello all, long time reader first time poster here.

What do you guys think of this deal? He is asking 9650 for it. I'm just alittle bit iffy on the fact it was a lease vehicle.

I started by leasing my Maxima, then I baught it out. Don't be scared of a leased car, some people take care of leased cars just like if it was purchased and vise-versa. (some distroy either)

Sounds like you found a very clean max. Just for the fact that it's been garaged kept and a NON SMOKER ownes it are a big plus!

Car fax is clean, low miles and the price is right! GO FOR IT!

Just checked autos.yahoo.com

Blue book for "good" condition is $8,870
for "excellent" it's $9,575.

I'm not sure what you should offer though. Any other opinions?
