I'm about to buy a 2000 Maxima GLE from a large nissan dealership with 97,xxx miles on it.
I call them and they say its being sold for ~$8,500. I pretty much told them, I have like $6,500 cash and its too much for me, and the sales guy is like... "Come Now" and I was like.. "uhhh, what?" and hes like "Come Now" and I'm kinda like... "Okay" and hang up :P
Now, I looked this car up on KBB and the price is $7,064
Then I check it out on carfax and this comes up:
