I know the moderator may move this thread and thats fine if seen fit. But i live in north jersey and i am looking for a 95-99 maxima to use as my winter car. ------ point being is that i see one for sale on a side street that has been parked for about a month now with a for sale sign. I call the guiy up and ask him the info and all and he absolutly blew my mind with what he told me --- $6000 for a 97 AUTO with get tihs 198,500 miles!!!!!!!! I was like this guy is nuts and i was like no seriusly how much and he wasnt joking. ALL i could do was laugh and i told him to give me a call if he wants to sell for a 1/3 of his price.
Can you believe that???

SN is actualy teenwulf1 sorry

 

okay and? Walk away...

It still has alot more miles left in it.

 

and?....

thats a decent price for one around here

 

Yah, thats the same price around here too. Granted the miles are high, but its definatly worth way more than 2000.

 

199000+ miles on my '99...you'd better pull out more than 6G's if you wanna buy it.

 

That's a fair price...

My 93 has 216,000 miles on it, and I won't even think about selling it for less than $25,000.
(then again, I've got $40k+ invested in it. )

If you don't think it's a good price, turn and walk away. he doesn't have to sell the car at a price you think it's worth. someone is willing to buy it at that price. If not, then it's his problem, not yours.

 

what trim and color?

 

That seem about right, It's a lot but it does hold it resale value good for that age and mileage. At least it's a Nissan.

 

keep in mind this is not a grand am or dodge shadow.

 

ha! funny...I drive a Dodge Stratus, dammit! And people are afraid of me!!!

 

The price seems a little high, but not exceedingly so. I think the kbb private party value is still going to be around $4-5k, maybe higher. You didn't say if it was a GXE, SE or GLE and if it has leather or other options like that.

 

its still a 97 and thats what helps hold its value with such miles

 

I think that the price is high for its miles regardless of the car's trim level. Look around, late 4th gens with under 100K mi are being sold for like 7 grand. Just look for smthg else.

 

Thats what i was thinking cause even though many think its a good price i have def seen others with alot less miles and for a less price as well. i was just shocked, and didnt realize that they held their worth that much even with almost 200K on it

 

i would pay no more than 5k for that.

 

wow, i musta got a good deal then. I got a 96 SE manual gold ed. with 116k on it for about 4k. It did have the CEL on though...

 

Thats not a good deal you were right to walk away. We all know that they may last longer than that but to buy a max from someone with that many miles for that amount is moronic.

Proph

 

I AGREE WITH THE PROF ON THIS ONE!!!!
