Re: 95 vs 98 Maximas

 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

$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!)

Maxima's really hold their value. $8K for a clean '98 with 90K is about
right.

 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

 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

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.

Gawd, you really are a troll.
It was just a (REAL LIFE) example.
