For a 2002 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE with 95,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $6,200 (being in above average condition) to $5,100 (being in average condition) and $4,000 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $4,700 to $7,200. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection.
