Considering a Z

I think you are going to be dissapointed in your trade. Nissan is dealing like crazy on the new Max. My father bought one last month. The sticker was over 39K and he paid 32,500. You should be able to get a touring Z with auto, sport and nav for about 38,500. Basically the only options you would be giving up is the back up camera, memory seats, air conditioned driver's seat, and the sunroof, but I don't know if your max has all of those features.

I was always a huge Maxima fan. The last one I owned was a 2000. It was a great car. After that body style they really went down hill. I recently had an 08 as a rental and it was like driving a boat and it had that insane skinny sunroof that went the length of the car that served no purpose. For 09 Nissan got their act together and the Max is back. I almost bought one when they first came out, but nobody wanted to deal on them, so I bought a Cadillac CTS. They need to bring the manual tranny back to the Max. I wish you luck, but be prepared to bring cash to the deal or roll over at least 4K into the Z.

Well I did make a down payment on the max...personally if I go to this same dealer i have a feeling they will make me a deal and make it work within reason. I'm not upside down on the loan...I just want 30k or I'll feel like it's a waste.
