Thinking of buying the 2017 Nissan Maxima?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2017 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 buying the 2017 Nissan Maxima, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Maxima
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder; drive: 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 EPA rates it at 9.5 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $49.89 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 396 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.63 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $166.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
