The car is 3+ years old so the 19k doesn't make any sense. I'd wanna see service records and sequential dates. Since it's used, why not go for Bose and leather for that price. Otherwise try to get the price down it's not like they'll be lined up out the door trying to buy that car!

It is possible to have low mileage. I know my car was never used. It was exactly like new. The keyless entry was never used. They actually used the key to get into the car because I guess it was an old man who had this car and only used it for grocery shopping. Plus you can tell when the engine has never been pushed to a certain limit. My car sounded like the guy never hit 40. Lol.. oh well it sounds and feels a lot different now.

Well things like the sunroof and no leather I don't really care for. BUt I NEED a cd player, right now i'm borrowing my grandpa's car w/ no cd player, and I'm dying listening to the radio. And I don't mind if the sound system stinks. My car has 2 pairs of $20 speakers....so sound quality is terrible, but at least i can listen to music i like.

hopefully I can go see the car tomorrow, but my schedule is looking kind of tight right now. by the way, the car is at car max....so should i be a little more relived or are those mechanics just as bad as dealer mechanics?

you can always get a nissan cd player for $100-$200. Don't buy the car just because it has a cd player

Go to www.kbb.com, slap in the specs. And see what you get. That should give you a price to work around with.

IMO, there is NOTHING limited about the SE Limited. Big deal, it comes with tinted guages and some special stitching. It's the same engine, and pretty much the same EVERYTHING. I'm sure the dealers try to play it off as a very rare car (which it is), but I don't think it's worth paying a premium for. If you're planning to mod the maxima, get a GXE. If you are going to leave it 'as-is' , get the SE.
