Default Should I hold out for lower mileage?

Ive found an 05 PPW Touring w/35k miles. Ive negotiated a price before tax/tag/fees of 25,000

I really want the PPW Touring model. Should I hold out and wait until a lower mileage PPW Touring ZR comes along or is this too good of a deal to pass up?

Thanks for the help.

The milage wouldn't bother me if it is in mint shape, but it seems high $ for the milage. Check Edmunds or Blue Book. Both will take into account the mileage and any options it has.

When I search Autotrader and Cars.com It seems 25k for a Touring w/35k miles is a good deal. Most are asking 30,000

Try looking in areas further away from you, out of state. You might have better luck. I feel 30K is too much for 35K Miles.

The car Im looking at is selling for 25,000 w/35k miles. Edmunds and KBB value you just below 30k. I found one in NM that was ideal but 1500 miles away is a long way to go to buy a car that I have never seen from a private seller. The desire to purchase is eating at me.

It appears that the price is in the ball park. I entered your specs without Nav nor side airbags. Go to: http://www.kbb.com/kbb/UsedCars/default.aspx

It also seems there is only about a $1000 difference between the '05 and '06 touring. That would be money well spent as the '06 has the upgraded interiour, bigger brakes, nicer stock wheels and of course the bi-xenon and LED lights. Check for '06 tourings too.

A good source for the different years models, specs and options is: http://www.nissanhelp.com/Models/200...escription.htm
Just click on the different years to compare.
Good luck!
