Ok, Found another one, this may be the last one because I am thinking really hard about it!

1998 Maxima SE129,000 Miles1 Owner

It belongs to a friend of a friend. He was originally asking $5500 for it but today he said he would take 5k.... What do you all think?

Thanks for all your help. KBB retail for this car is ~7k I think so it sounds like a deal to me. I still have to drive it and look at it in person..but its local so...

Thanks again, Tim

5k is fair, but see if you can't get him a lttle closer to 4500.

Edit: Just noticed it was a 5 speed, jump all over it.

Yes, I agree. $5k for a 5sp is a good deal. Make sure you check it out and see if he has any maint records for it.

That's a good deal on a 5sp. God, why do Nissan dealers think that it's cool to put a damn stripe on their cars... I already bitchslapped the sales manager at the dealer I used to work at....

Just thought I would let everyone know I got it. Went and picked it up yesterday. I like it so far. It has a Y-Pipe from Custommaxima.com and a Strut Bar from there too. I will have more pics and such later hopefully.

Thanks guys.. Ran into a couple small (hopefully) problems so far but nothing that isnt tolerable at the time. maxhopper, I noticed you are from Louisville.. I am in London,KY as well as Knoxville.. I think London is somewhere around an hour or 2 away. If you ever come around this area let me know.
