Hi, I am going to sell my 95 maxima se 5spd. It has 240,000 miles on it...but regardless it runs like a charm and there are no problems at all with it. It also has a new clutch, redded out taillights, and front clear bumper lights. I bought it for $4,200 last year. But I want to sell it now and I just hope I can get at least $3,000. How much do u think i could get?

 

the mileage is the scary part no matter what you say to the potential buyer, maybe a compression test on all the cylinders would help in your sale and to get the $3,000 you want.

 

$20 .........

 

Holy crap, that car has more miles than my 2nd gen!!!

 

if your car is in mint condition, and has passed inspection in the last 90 days, you may luck out by getting close to 3 grand. A car with this many miles likely to need A LOT done, so it may not be worthy for you to put any $ into it.

 

Are you sitting down? If not, do so promptly. I have a 1997 Maxima SE that I bought new. I have put very near 300,000 miles on her(295,000). To say that I am a mainenance freak is an understatement. I have EVERY receipt for this car since day one totalling over $10,000 in maintenance and replaced parts. Car runs great, works great. I'm looking at getting rid of it now and I knew going in it would be worthless. Most wholesalers I talk to will give me $1500 for it. No more, no less, that seems to be the standard number.

 

i did some rough math...

2003 - 1997 (2004 dont count yet)

6 years

12m per year 6x12 = 72 months

300000k per 72 months = 300000/72= 4166m per month
1m = 30d so 4166/30 = 138m per day.
138@60Amph (unless you have the autobahn or no cops close by) = 2.3 hours driving time/day.

so 30dx72= 2160 days in use @ 2.3 hrs/day = 4968 work hours.

yes i know its not diesel and that actual operation time is not as crucial, but that gives you an idea of the overal usage.

Compared to:

A. Trucks/buses your car is sparkling new
B. You are right in par with taxis.
C. If that were a plane it would still hold 90% of its value...
D.The average car, its worthless.

I am amazed... Wish i had the stoicity to drive that much daily for all those years.
