| Price of the Nissan Maxima: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | You can buy the base model out-the-door for under $27.5. Infiniti styling, Infiniti build quality, Infiniti performance. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price is very attractive for all the features it offers you. |

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Ford Expedition
| Price of the Ford Expedition: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range | I bought used with 20K miles on it when gas was $4/gallon. Used prices were very depressed relative to new; try to find one with low miles, relatively new and in great shape. Plan on keeping this one for 7-8 yrs (if you can afford the gas). |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV, ext. 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range | Best priced. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range | The price we got the Expedition for was far less than any comparible vehicle. We looked at Suburbans and everything in between and they were all asking waaay to much. |
| Price of the Ford Expedition: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 4-speed automatic RWD | Was stickered at $42K but paid $32K, why not a lower sticker ? |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
A lot of thought obviously went into ensuring that this redesigned version of the Maxima is very luxurious and, given the price, is really how it should be in order to compete with the higher-end brand names like Infiniti and Lexus. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Nissan Maxima: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Not to the standards Nissan use to be and are in other models. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The fact that the body rusts and the interior is kind of cheap. |
