You can't get a fully loaded demo model for the price you're looking for?

Demos are often beat on by the sales staff. I know this because the demo the Infiniti salesman took us out in was beat on.

Oh, nevermind then.

and who knows what kind of abuse they were put through.

I honestly don't think that's an issue.

I'm hoping that's not an issue.

Was your Box a demo??

Yeah it was. We wouldn't have gotten it, but it was the only Boxster S they had with a stickshift, and we got a great deal, so we took it. It was driven by a Porsche Regional Manager, so they assured us he took care of it. I'm hoping that everything will be okay, as I want to keep that car a long time.

I'm sure it's breaking as you post.....

Raghavan · April 10, 2007, 11:41:36 AM

Uh oh...

I think our MDX was a demo, not sure, but who'd beat on an SUV?

Cars Direct:

We do not currently have a dealer partner who is a match for your Nissan Maxima request.

oh yeah; forgot to mention that when I said "deliver" I really meant it as in "to a local dealership". sorry bout that.

well that blows. maybe you can type in the zip code of the nearest major city? (if you are willing to pick it up from there)

Got to test out the off-road prowess.

heelntoe · April 10, 2007, 11:52:18 AM

just about all the demos i came across here are beat on.every one of them had gearbox/clutch problems. one skoda rs was in particularly bad s hape.
it really depends on the dealership though. the exceptions were from reputed and frendly dealerships.

CATMAN! No signature?!

I'm only surprised because it's you

Being a Regional Rep, he's had demo's for a long time. The fun of driving one into the ground has probably worn off by that point.

Raghavan · April 10, 2007, 09:54:31 PM

Raza, how many miles were on it when you got it?

I've been conversing with a sales guy from a Nissan dealer I've bought to vehicles from in the past. He could only find one like I want in New England. He has several with the addition of the preferred package that I didn't want but he already threw out a $29,500 price via email. Edmunds TMV price is $31,072. I haven't even pointed my gun at him yet.

Atomic · April 12, 2007, 09:50:06 PM

catman, i'm on my sixth maxi, as you know. i have priced an all new 2007 "se". i decided to order one with every option, including a navigation system and chrome wheels. i will trade-in my loaded 2004 maxima se. yes. the cars are pricey, but they're the BEST cars (4-door sports cars) on the market for the price, hp, quality, content and then some. truly! my good news? the huge amount of money local dealers are willing to give me for my '04 trade. the resale value on past maxi's are awesome.

keep up posted. i'll do the same!

That takes a little audacity to call Raza a woman, especially since you're a newbie, you're probably 14 years old, and you have no idea what anyone is like on these forums.

I think, in this case, he would be a n00b.

Which is not to say that Raza's not been a whiny bitch in the past.

I was going to call you Stupid, but I'll let it go. I'm older than Raza, and know damn well who he, and most others on the are the Current/Former members of the C/D forums.

And yes, In the comment, Raza sounded like a little girl. If he's a big boy, he can defend himself.
