Considering a Z

Maxima09 · 05-24-2009, 10:18 AM

How will this all work if I still have a balance on the Maxima? Will Nissan take care of this? Also...Sticker on the Max was 35,500 I paid 32 + TTL so 35k out the door. I want NO LESS than 30k on the trade...only has 3k miles on it.

look at kbb.com and find out how much your car is worth (trade in value). I love the new Maximas.

The new Maxima is a GREAT car. i read on a few sites that the Sport Package adds a little too much noise from the tires when driving...anyone go Touring AT with the Nav but no Sport package? I have the Sport Package on the Maxima and it didnt create a loud ride at all...but that's a different car im sure.

You're going to be "upside down" most likely, unless your balance on the Maxima is very small. The sticker on the Maxima is immaterial at this point, the used car manager at the Nissan dealership will use a KBB value or arbitrarily give a trade-in value. You know that cliche, "as soon as you drive a new car off the lot it automatically loses $5,000"? This isn't far from the truth.

For example, say your loan balance on the Maxima is $27,000; and the used car manager says, "this car is only worth $25,000," then you are $2,000 upside-down. So if you put $7,000 down towards a Z, then only $5,000 will apply to it.

I say keep your Maxima and consider a Z or another car when you're done paying it off.

Yeah I get that, but I'm not a 27k balance (nice down payment) It might be more wise to just add the Z as a second car, pay them off as I go.
