I just bought a used automatic 2000 maxima SE with 26k miles, leather, moonroof, dual airbags, bose system, spoiler, 17 inch rims for $16,988 before fees, tax, etc. after fees, tax, etc it was 18 something then i added a 6 year, 75,000 mile warranty to it bringing the total to 19 something. monthly payments were $230 before the warranty and $264 a month after adding the warranty. i'm a 20 year old E-3 in the military and still hoping it's within my budget.

if i got a good deal, tell me how good. if it's bad, tell me exactly how bad.

oh yeah, i live in Hawaii if that means anything to the price.

 

For comparison, I paid $17,000 (about $12 more than you) for my 2001 SE Anniversary Edition with 33k miles on it...

 

you just got a good deal man...


and to Ryan...you got a decent, you didnt get raped, and you didnt leave with a fabulous deal...it was a good deal...

Also, did you do a 5yr payment?! im paying 197 a month for my max with a 5yr/100K added...i didnt put much down though...

By the way - welcome to the board, Ryan.

Is this your first Max?

 

yes, this is my first maxima. i put $6,000 down.

in hawaii it seems like they automatically add on like 3-4 thousand for new cars. i dont know about used though.

 

All things considered, especially being in Hawaii, it seems like you did get a good deal. The most important part of a good deal, however, is if you're happy with the car. When you drive it, do you feel excited? Are you happy to take short trips to the grocery store or video store? If so, you got a great deal.

 

new 2k3 maxima se leather, sunroof, spoiler, 17" wheels, advertised: $20k, my friend got them down to $19k plus tax

 

WOW

Hey Ryan,

Ya been to www.maximage.org? Hawaii's maxima enthusiasts...

I paid 14k for my stripped 99 SE-L, with 28k miles. I'm about to be 21, and it's barely within my budget. My payments work out to be $280/month for 5 yrs, and i still have roughly 4 years left. The reason why my payments are so high is because i put $40 down on the car.

 

is this an auto or 6 spd? if 6 spd I would fly out anywhere to get it
