Found this Maxima on a dealer lot, 2011 SV with Sport Package, 26,985 miles. Bone stock, no modifications, looks and drives great.

Two owner car according to CarFax, no accidents

He was asking 22,995, down to 20,000 without sales tax

Is this a reasonable deal?

Appreciate the advice for a first time poster

 

Seems like a very good price

Edmunds TMV is a good place to check.

Just make sure the engine is not making a knocking noise at warm idle.

Buy it before I drive wherever u r and trade my 2010 s in for it

 

Yeah, it sounds like a good one!!

 

check the bottom for rust... there will be rust just compare it to the rust level on other maximas.

 

I just picked up my 2010 SV w/ tech and cold weather package. 38k for $20k. I am in the Philly area, sounds like the sport you looking at is a good deal. I really wanted a sport, but they always wanted $2-3k more in my experience. Found my SV, and it's got everything but the sport wheels I wanted.


I'd say to for it

 

Great buy however, make sure that the Goodyear RS-A tires still have life left on them. They are $200 each. Also make sure that the car did not experience a flood.

 

Yes, water check is very important. I don't recall a time when more cars have been underwater in my long life. There has been major flooding in almost every part of the country in the last two years.

Take the time to remove the trim edging the carpet and look UNDER the mats and carpets in the driver's and passenger's front wheelwells, and look under the trunk liner and in the bottom of the spare tire wheelwell. Any sign of rust whatsoever means water has been there.
