Possibly purchasing a coupe-need advice

[DJ_B_Easy]

Im sure you could find one with lower miles. Is it an 08?

Ya...Ive been driving mine since August '07 and I only have 50K miles, and thats driving 50+ miles/day for work. You should be able to find one around 40K or less failry easily.

The 2.5 is much better on gas and has the same looks

Depreciation is unfortunately decent to high on them, so perhaps even a used one can be in the cards.

The 3.5 is decent with 0-60 in the 6-7 s range, but is a lil piggy on gas with that engine. There have been some CVT transmission issues reported which is why Nissan recently doubled their trannie warranty, so many have chosen the safe 6speed way.

Found a 6cyl 63k miles, fully loaded, blue tooth and all (no nav) for 15k. Sound good to anybody else?

Id look for one with less miles I bought mine in June 08" brand new and I have 37k and my commute like DJ-B is 50+ miles.
Id say try and find one under 40,000 miles.

lol, with that many miles? That's a raping.

[QR25DE]

Yeah thats not a good deal at all. Maybe for 12 and lower. Throwing in free oil changes and such as well? lol

According to Edmunds, an 08 A/C 3.5 should sell for around $15K private party and around $17,500 from a lot. That's with those miles. I was in the car business for several years and Edmunds is a pretty good source for an actual value. $15K sounds like a pretty good deal, to me, if your getting it from a dealership.

The price seems high to me, I've seen much better deals then this. cost me only 5g's more for my 2.5 new. be patient and wait for the right car. i also highly recomend a 6spd

[Ironfrenzy]

That's true, the 2.5 starts at $19,900 new. But he's looking at a 3.5 with everything, which sells for around $32,000 new. At $15ish he's looking at half price for a 2 year old car. That's a pretty good deal.

This makes no sense. I blue booked my car and it has half the miles of that and I got close to the same selling price.

[Ironfrenzy]

I'm curious where you went to blue book it? did you use KBB. I just priced an identical car with around 30,000 miles and it came up being worth approximately $2,300 more for both private party and dealers.

yup, the 2.5 does start there, but i didnt get the base model, the sticker price for mine was 26k i believe. and that was b4 taxes.
