Hey Guys:

I recently brought a Maxima GLE, 65,000 miles for around 13,000 plus tax. It needs a tune up and new tires. Do you think I paid too much? Be Honest, I'll take it like a man.

I already checked Blue Kelly but i just wanted your opinion?

 

One more thing, there is no Mod.

 

Are you happy????? If the answer is yes then don't worry about it. Are if you really want to know the check this link out, but if you are happy don't bother..... http://autos.yahoo.com/edmunds/

 

IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH IT THEN DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. I GOT A 87 GLE FULLY LOADED FOR ABOUT $17,500. AS LONG AS YOU ARE HAPPY DON'T WORRY.

 

I paid exactly the same for my GLE with 63k miles. Crappy tires too. (has anyone heard of millenium mohawks?) The dealer I bought from sells a 3,4 yr old cars, most of which appear to be lease returns. I ran a lemon check which confirmed the lease history. They had it listed for 15.9k and claimed they couldn't go lower than 13k as they put in a new sunroof assy. Anyway, I am happy with it.

 

i got a 95 Gxe for 12,000 with 40K miles on it. i think the miles were right because i got it from a toyota used cars dealer. i dont know if you paid too much though, maybe a little bit but not much.
later, enjoy it.

 

dude you paid 17,500 for a 87...when?..yesterday??????????

 

That was about average. Hey you bought it, now just enjoy it!

 

Hey I....err my dad paid $18,500 for our 87SE. Of course that was back in 87 and it was loaded .

 

If you want to know the blue book value of your car go to http://www.kbb.com , althought the blue book is not as accurate as the n.a.d.a. . The nada book is what banks/insurance companies use when pricing your car, you can pick one up at your local book store or go to http://www.nada.com and there is a link to check up to 5 prices a day. I bought a 96 SE w/every option and even had tints with 49k for $14,500 back in july and some people said i got ripped off. Well 5 months later and 8k later the car was totalled and insurance gave me $15,200 for it, so .... when i asked how they obtained my value they said they find cars in the area like it and then price it like that so location is also a factor.

I just bought a 96 GLE with 80,000 miles for $10,000. I did have to get tires. So I went ahead and got 16" Rims off of a 2000 Maxima SE (standad rims) then put on a spoiler, wind deflector, clear bumper lights and more.....I sell new Maximas and probably just worked the guy more....He did get more than trade in though....

 

I paid $15K and got a 97SE 5Spd fully loaded with 43K miles and an aftermarket clifford alarm and 6disc changer.

Tinted Windows

Some people think I paid too muhc, but I don't think so.

 

I recently bought a fully loaded 96se in like new condition except for scratch on fender for $11100had 72kmi one owner had fender painted for $200, but you should be happy,if not it doesnt matter

 

SHOULD BE A 97 GLE FOR $17,500 MY FAULT. IN A RUSH AT WORK WHEN I POSTED REPLY.

 

whats up with these lurkers ALWAYS USING CAPS. Is it that hard to turn of the cap lock key. Good god!

 

Go to http://www.autotrader.com or http://www.autobytel.com and search for your car, see what they're selling for in your area. That gives you a better sense of the "market price" than the book values. I thought I had paid a lot for mine, but after seeing that there were lesser cars selling for thousands more, I changed my mind. And if you need more convincing, take it out for a drive to be reminded that it was money well spent.

 

To all who responded:

Thanks for your feedbacks. And I am extremely happy with the Maxima.
