Lincoln/Mercury: buting a car, nissan dealership, carmax


Question
i am thinking of buying a 2004 maxima (sl) and i want to know what owners don't like about the car. i am buying the car through carmax and they have a no haggle policy. do you think i will still be able to negotiate the price? will i increase my chances of bargaining with puting $10,000 for a down payment?  

Answer
There is nothing wrong with the Maxima.Except the cost difference.The Maxima only comes with a V-6,but Altima comes with a 4 or V-6.Carmax is not only dealer in town. Consider a Nissan dealership.Because they offer selection,better financing and sometimes better prices.Plus maybe negotiation powers(with approved credit)The down payment only helps on monthly payments,not interest rates(also other fees?)Remember you are trying to achieve a monthly note,not price. Good Luck!
