dunno...
$30K+ for a maxima is a risky venture. Keep in mind, this is the end of this body/platform/gen. Even paying invoice can leave you alittle disappointed at resale time. I dont know were you are, but in the south, they sell tons of maximas and usually at invoice.
Unless you can stomach a freefall in resale or plan to own it forever, I personally would keep shopping. keep in mind, even if the dealer sells you the car for invoice, they still make $2000 on the sale, so don't let them make you feel like you're putting them out of business.

Tim's right,
Everyone is eager to be one of the first people with the new max, but it's resale value will probably go down the drain.

The problem is, I could get the car for invoice but would get raped on the trade in.
My truck retails on kbb.com for 14,000 and trade in is 11,000. If you take that logic, I'm not getting the car for 30,500:
27,500 for the car
11,000 for my trade in
Keep in mind, 27,500 is with tax, title and tags.
So what do I do? I am still shopping around, but can I get 14,000 for my truck and invoice for the car?

Oh man. YOU MUST LEARN TO NEGOTIATE THE PRICE OF THE CAR AND THE PRICE OF YOUR TRADE-IN SEPERATELY! Even if they give you a price of $30k(which is just okay at best), they are apparently killing you on the trade-in. So it looks like they are now reaming you two ways instead of just one

There's another group of folks that are blinded by their vision of grandeur (read terrorists), and look what they did. Open your eyes before it's too late for you.

You guys don't think there is going to be any added value because of the...I don't know...mystique of owning one of the last models with that body style? I personally would go for the 6-Speed for even more myself but that's me. But once the Maxima becomes the MAXIMA I think the 2K2 will have alot of appeal. Just like the BMWs of the 80s before they changed the body style. When it goes to that full size car status I think it will lose alot of its sport sedan nature.

wow
The same car in 1999, same equipment except 5-spd left the dealer for about 22,800. Add a grand for auto and one has to wonder, is a 2002 worth 7,000 more than a brand-new 1999? Considering there's been 0 inflation and we're in a recession, it's pretty outlandish. Plus the 2002 has one year left with that body style. Crazy. Even crazier is that that 7 grand is what you will pay for depreciation in the first 1k miles to be the first on the block.
