2004 2.5SL for $11,400 walk out -- good deal??

Hi, I haven't been here for a while since I had to turn my G35 lease back in. I still have my TL, but my wife needs a new car since the 98 Ford Escort decided act up this past week and $600 of repairs have done nothing.

Anyway, I ran across a 2004 Nissan Altima 2.5SL with 77K miles. I have the carfax and everything looks good EXCEPT there was a "Transmission Overhaul" report 9/20/08. The sticker says $10,980. He originally wanted $12,300 walk out, but I got him down to $11,400. It seems like a good deal, but the only thing that concerns me is the transmission overhaul on the carfax.

Is this a good deal, and how concerned should I be with the transmission overhaul? Is this a common problem with Altimas?

no thats not a good deal at all and the mileage is high. that s*** aint worth no more than $7-8k. u can get a 05-06 3.5 for 12k

I compared it to mine and na its not that good. I got this from car max so id say look for a better deal. Its a 2006 Altima 2.5S special edition. It came with just one problem which was a cracked radiator and i asume it probably screwed over some electrical problems. I ended up getting the car at 10,223.00. Its miles where at 29,022. Everything was good and i have no complaints. Look around should get better pricings. It being the transmission, if it does not come with a warranty and where it was done, its not worth it. thats my two cents
