Great experience - painless transaction from out of state
Great experience - painless transaction from out of state - Fernando helped out at every step to keep us informed and answered every question -
Bought my '12 Max SV (my 3rd one btw) Jan 2013.
Bought my '12 Max SV (my 3rd one btw) Jan 2013. 1 of 2 left on lot. MSRP 38 G. Pd 28G out the door. Now with 86000 miles. Only tires, oil changes and rear brakes. NO problems at all with a plus on performance. Best car I've ever had and my 1985 and 1993 were great cars too. May end up being the last car I have to buy. Always garaged and above average in and out and Edmunds says it's worth $3700. Hoping would be 5G at least.

Mike B is awesome!
Mike B is awesome! Personable guy. We had a great experience. Would come back for sure. Worked with us in a difficult situation and we appreciated it.
This is a great car.
This is a great car. Good on gas. Need for speed.lol. it has the space you need for the inside definently leg room and trunk space. If you keep up the maintenance on it you good. There is one thing that's a continued problem that I had was the power steering pump it seems like it was a common problem every year that I had the car and obviously nissan knew it but they never did a recall on it and I kept checking.

We had a great experience working with Michael R!
We had a great experience working with Michael R! He was friendly, easygoing, and took the time to understand what we were looking for. There was no pressure or pushy sales tactics—just honest help and patience throughout the process. He was also kind and respectful with our kids, which we really appreciated. Overall, Michael made the car-buying experience comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend working with him!

Excellent car , excellent value & a terrific helpful crew
Excellent car , excellent value & a terrific helpful crew at the dealership . I will definitely recommend them to my staff.
Bought my Maxima new and just about to hit 190k.
Bought my Maxima new and just about to hit 190k. It has only needed tires, brakes and oil changes. Everything still works but it is showing its age. My only complaint is the rear window defroster started bubbling about 20k ago. It is an SV with performance suspension, it’s fast and fun to drive. Good solid transportation and the body style has head up given its 12 years old

Laura and the team continue to provide excellent services for my City Truck! I will purchase again based on the sales team and collaboration with service team.
Maxima is well worth your time
I give the Maxima SV a 4.9 due to the near-sighted placement of the outlets to charge my phone. However, the 2012 Nissan Maxima SV is one fine ride. I have owned 30+ vehicles since '76, including top of the line sport models from GM, Ford, Chrysler. I owned a Datsun 240Z in the early 80's & purchased my 2012 Maxima SV ("Maximus") in 2017 with the memories of driving that Datsun foremost in my mind. I am proof little old ladies can have fun, because driving THIS car is so much fun! I am retired, & use my car for the usual; shopping, visiting with friends, etc. I live in a very rural part of Appalachia & regularly must drive 30+ miles to reach a Supercenter type store on curves, up & down hills that can intimidate the best drivers. "Maximus" laughs in the face of triple switch-backs on an average 8% grade. Plus, the Bose sound system, with 'Music Box' (records & stores every CD played) ensures I'm driving to my favorite music. The paddle-shifting, powerful acceleration, & extreme comfort of the Maxima makes it my favorite so far. If not for the unfortunate engineering that placed the outlet too close to the cup holder for my liking, I would score the Maxima SV a cool 5 ☆'s!!!

As dealerships go - these guys were easy to work with. The process was quick and fairly smooth. I abhor the car-buying process, but this was not terrible. The facility itself was very nice, clean and welcoming. Oscar was my salesman and he was very good at keeping in touch with me until I could make it in.
