Tips on Buying Cars: high mileage cars, mileage cars, nissan quest

Question
Hello due to my growing family i am interested in buying a van. My boyfriend has been telling me to go to the auction. At t he auction we saw a 2005 Nissan quest van 2005 with 159,000 miles. personally i wanted something with less miles but the price is right 5500 the car is in good condition should i go for it?

Answer
First of all sorry about the late response ,

But the Nissan Quest is rather high for the Auction , the Car with these miles book lower should be arround 3600 - 4000 . Be aware that right now like every year arround tax time there is a buying frenzy , that last until about the end of may . Right now the Prices are to high .

Also consider Dealer only Auctions and hire a broker who has a good reputation. This may cost you 300-500 per car but the good ones will inspect prior to bidding and may save you a few thousand dollars.

To answer you question if it is really nice buy it at the TRADE IN value , so if you have a problem it is easy to sell .

Thanks
