2003 Maxima's avg selling price is $2,000 under invoice
JM
as $2,000 under the dealer invoice price, even without a rebate or
dealer incentive payment.
MSRP=25,649
Invoice Price=23,453
True Market Value=21,436 + the delivery fee. Basically, $22,000.00
(Unlike NADA and other sources, Edmunds' price is the actual sales
price in the marketplace, not a suggested sales figure that is biased
toward the dealer.)
On the one hand, this looks interesting. On the other, it shows that
Nissan has screwed the pooch. Expect the 2003-2004 Maxima to be the
entire 5th generation!! That'll shoot resale value all to hell.

Where are you? In my reigion (CA) all trim levels of the '03 are selling for
$500 - $1000 over invoice.

Isn't the '04 a 6th gen?
zzzzz
Maxima depreciation is not too bad.
Compare a basic 02 Max SE to an 02 Acura TL... at around 30k miles,
each 1k miles subtracts $225 from the value of the Max and $300 for
the Acrua.
Horror stories of depreciation on the Max are overblown.

Anyhow, here's the link to Edmunds for this:
