Hey everyone,

I spotted this 2009 sv on the lot and wanted some opinions. Its got Nav, tech and Bose. The dealer let me drive off and gave me a couple hours to decide.

Pull the trigger or wait, such a painful decision cause I still love-hate my 2002.

GNCMaxima

I had a 2002 maxima as well and I loved that car! Once you drive a CVT motor you won't ever go back :-) I say that's a pretty good deal

Andre77

Too many miles. Not worth it

Serpent

A lot of miles, and the most problematic year. I say pass.

If it had sport or premium package and came with the right extended warranty I might consider it.

As it is, it seems to be priced a couple thousand too high.

You can certainly find better deals.

Would you trade in your 2002?

A 2002 SE with 100-150k miles (in fair condition) will be listed at a used car dealer for $6500-7500.

MaximaGuido09c

Being that I have an 09 and experienced some minor issues at times + the broken tilt motor for the steering wheel..I would pass at this high mileage!

Don't do it, the price is too high. Walk away smartly.

Good advice. I think I can drag my 2002 maybe a year, tops. Its got 258,xxx miles and collision damage.

Well there's a '10 on the lot with 27k for 27k, if I can get it for the same price as the 09.. So tempting.

Andre77

I just bought a 09 maxima, not SV for 18000, with 25 k. I think is a pretty good deal, certified pre own, even though i have no leather or NAV.

Yeah the black is such a great color but maybe that's cause I've been in the Sterling Mist 2002 since Sept-2004 haha. So I'm going to walk from the 2009. Going to go back and find out what nonsense I get on the 2010 with 27,000 miles.

Jig9798

FYI, I paid $24k for my 2010 SV w sport pckg and cold weather option. It had ~23k miles on it.

Andre77

Thats a great buy. 2010 SV. Congrats!

BlackBuckeyeMax

That's not an awful deal for the options it has really, you can find a decently loaded sv premium or sport for $23-24k around here with 30k miles.

Which dealer?

Stay the hell away from magic Nissan in Everett just fyi

scrim

i just got an 09 3 weeks ago with 23,000 miles for $21,000. it has the panoramic roof I think the only thing it don't have is nav. I would actually like to know what the package I have is called.

rader023

LOL Magic Nissan was shady when I bought my Maxima. I ended up going to Younker in Renton. Magic service department has treated me good though. I have had 4 tail lights replaced, one side mirror, and they fixed my windshield washer system.

njpunkmusic

I would pass. I got my 2009 preowened (no tech package though), but premium package, spoiler, brand new times, 66,000 miles for $16800. Was in great condition and the gentleman I bought it from could not afford his payments. It's all about the waiting game my friend. I looked for a new car for over a year before I got that one. Countless trips around the state to dealerships and private owners.

Jig9798

Couldn't agree more. The best time to buy a car is when you don't have to. You have more control that way.

Do your homework ... not just on the car you wanna buy, but also on how you will pay for it as well as what you will do with your current car.

Yeah, I been waiting since September 2008 or launch day of the 7th gen haha. Haven't committed to anything yet, but I am going back to check what's up with the 2010. And nope not Magic Nissan in Everett.

prices differ great from one region to another. I believe prices in Bellevue, WA would be higher than other parts of the country. I priced out cars in WA before and it was about a grand higher for the same car than what I would pay here in western Massachusetts and our prices are higher than others around the country.

check NADA and KBB for your region adjusted prices,

good luck.

RAINMANYEH

IMO... Without knowing all that's on the car and the overall condition, it appears to be priced 2-3 grand too high.

I'll post the link later. I said $22k depending on what my friend says and my credit union's terms. All this on next Saturday.

Jarohnimo

Couple things...

He already said he's passing on the 09 and looking at a 2010

Prices here in Washington are always higher than the rest of the country...as has been said before in this thread.

Yeah the 2009 had some ... problems. I could swear I felt the drivers seat wobble/slide forward during braking/accelerating. Transmission felt funky at low speed/rpm say after reversing from a parking spot then moving forward. SKIP!!!!

I'm looking at this http://www.tacomanissan.com/2010-Nis...WA/vd/13890770

One thing right off the bat, I am not sold on that imitation wood stuff, give me the brushed metal look!

Tonyblock

I have the same package if you have the panoramic roof you have the premium package

13Maximasv

Cars Direct has a target price of $26K on a NEW 2012 S limited. You may have to look around but if CD is giving prices they are still out there

the MaxMobile
