Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 200595 vs 98 Maximas
(sorry, meant to xpost this from a.a.n.m) Hello, Thanks to all who responded to my "longevity" question. I'm looking at a 98 GXE with 90000 miles, but it's a bit more than I want to spend ($8000 before any haggling). A 95 model would be closer to my price range. Assuming that I can find a 95 with *decent* milage, is there any reason NOT to get one? What might the pros and cons of either model year be? TIA ... 90K-mile unit for $8000 AMERICAN DOLLARS (not canadian)? The seller is insane (or did costly modifications to original car). It's 2005 wake up, I paid $1,900 for a 10-year old car with 130K miles long time ago, extrapolatiing I would pay $5,000 for something with a whopping 90K miles on it, Nissan is good but not a jaguar or Mazeratti to pay 8000 dollars for something that will turn into junk in 50K miles from now >90K-mile unit for $8000 AMERICAN DOLLARS (not canadian)?

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >90K miles on it, Nissan is good but not a jaguar or Mazeratti to pay 8000 >dollars for something that will turn into junk in 50K miles from now $8000 US is in the ballpark for a 98 from a dealer. I too can reminisce about car prices: In 1990 I payed $5000 for a 1985 Toyota Pickup. Now $5000 gets you not a 5 year old car but a TEN year old car. If you're lucky :( And you are the first to claim that a maxima will become "junk" at 140000 miles. (YES, some will, others might and a few will run forever.) ... (wide awake, but don't want to be!) It's "paid" and not"payed", learn spelling. As of prices, i buy from individual s and desperate ones who need money ASAP, and I always find amazing deals, same for computer/electoctronic parts so when my boss parts he is asking me to find. Would never pay $8K for something that approaches 100K miles, too much.... better deals exist, even Ebay sometimes offers if you can physically visit the seller and see car >It's "paid" and not"payed", learn spelling. >As of prices, i buy from individual s and desperate ones who need money [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >better deals exist, even Ebay sometimes offers if you can physically visit >the seller and see car Gee, thanks for the grammar lesson... ...here's one for you: "...learn HOW TO SPELL", not "learn spelling". Also, it's "electronic" not "electoctronic". (punk) I don't have the luxury of waiting for a desperate sell to come along. ... Also you say paid in 1990, whereas my reference point is from 2001: your 15-year old reference versus my 4 year old. Inflation in 15 years is indeed huge (though comparing to rest of the world USA is very lucky not to have like 3000% inflation), but in 4 years it's not terribly high and I still extrapolate the money spent ($1800) would be 2000-2100 today). And still $8000 is too much, i sell everything after 60K >Also you say paid in 1990, whereas my reference point is from 2001: your >15-year old reference versus my 4 year old.

It was just a (REAL LIFE) example. ... meant after 60k miles > 90K-mile unit for $8000 AMERICAN DOLLARS (not canadian)? The seller is > insane (or did costly modifications to original car). [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > 90K miles on it, Nissan is good but not a jaguar or Mazeratti to pay 8000 > dollars for something that will turn into junk in 50K miles from now Maxima's really hold their value. $8K for a clean '98 with 90K is about right.
