Thinking of buying the 2012 Nissan Maxima?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Nissan Maxima for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2012 Nissan Maxima for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Maxima
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 107 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain to know here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 32 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.8 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $189. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 396 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the Maxima makes sense
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
Try the Maxima on your commute, then decide. A week with the Maxima answers more than any brochure. A test week in the Maxima tells you more than any review.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Your move
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Nissan Maxima from us first.
