Auto loans: the 2012 Nissan Maxima
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Nissan Maxima; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2012 Nissan Maxima, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Maxima
NHTSA has 107 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, unknown or other and electrical system. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
It is powered by 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.
The combined figure, 10.8 L/100 km, means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $18.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
What to expect from the Maxima
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 396 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the Maxima answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.90 in fuel.
