Need your opinions on price

How much do you think a 98 SE White on black leather Auto with 95k is worth?
Motor is strong with no misses or ticks. Tranny is strong and pulls hard. Leather is mint. a few nicks around the car but no rust underneath or outside. No CEL ,Bose works perfect. I would love to have it but would like a decent deal.

If you're certain that the odometer is correct at 95K miles, $2,000.00 to $2,500.00

in rhode island 3,000 if 1 owner but in rhode island the lower support would be gone, and youd never find one with no rust

Maybe so ...

Just looking at the photo of the driver's seat, that thing does not appear to have been used much.

So perhaps $3K might still be a reasonable price.

$3,800 is too much. That's more of retail number than a private party sale.

That's what I pointed out to him and said I could give $2700 which is a decent private party amount and left my number. This car is super clean and would last my daughter through high school and college and then I'd take it back for another 100k lol

I've noticed the black leather interior hold up best over the long haul.

white maxima is nice, but white pearl is sexier. if it has that low miles buy it dude, I bought mine white pearl 125k for 3,500$ GLE, paint is outstanding and well taken caren of, fully loaded and has gave me no problems since the last 2 years. now its at 133k. don't care about its price. it isn't a issue, because once its taken... you may never see another one like that in a good amount of time.. months..years...

Make sure the radiator core support is not rusted. Otherwise $3000 to $3500 seems like a fair price considering it looks like it's in very good shape. .

I'm going to make a offer today on it. I haven't seen one in this shape for sale in a long time, it's like the shape most were in 2001. Some clear turn signals and this car should be good to go.

get it before its too late, ever since I had my car, i would randomly go on cragilist and search maxima 4th gen in my area, I maybe have only seen 1-4 in really good condition in the last 2 years.. I mean in really good condition like mine.


also see why the reason he is selling it. if its cause he needs a truck or has another car, then its a good sign that it is a good car.

$2500

I'm thinking of things that start to go due to age, not just mileage. Bushings, hoses etc. My guess is go get mileage that low, it probably sat for extended period once or twice through its life.
No offense to anyone, but I found a car this nice, I wouldn't give it to a teen driver. It usually takes a few beater cars to appreciate a good one.

This is what I think of when I think first car:

Another guy ended up paying full price for it....I would've paid $3500 for a 5 speed but just thought $3800 was to much. I've had a 3rd and 4th gen. It's time for a 5th Gen anyways
