I'm looking at a tectite 2004 E55 on ebay which is for sale by a Nissan dealer in Houston, TX. Dealer claims car was traded in for an Armada...doesn't make much sense to me. I want to find the previous owner to find out if the car is legit. VIN WDBUF76JXA408142. It has 16,000 miles and almost all options. Sticker was $90,500ish. Can you let me know if this is yours or you know who the previous owner was. Thanks!

It's actually Champion Nissan Katy in Katy Texas and it looks like the car was purchase from MB of Sugarland originally.

$90K+ for an '04/all options/16,000 miles is ludicrous.

Unless I read the wrong, and said the original MSRP was $90K.

$90,500 is the sticker price, meaning the MSRP window sticker...not the selling price on the used vehicle.

So what's the used price? :p

Just trying to find the prior owner is all...no questions regarding the price.

so if u want to hide the price why the heck do you tell us where the car is located? Might we have phones?

good luck with the car. best color around. dont pay more than the lo 70's for an 04 with those miles. Maybe even the high 60's.

Sorry, not my intention to hide the price. Just didn't want the thread to turn into "what should I pay for this car"...and that does tend to happen, so I wanted to keep it on point. It's on Ebay so feel free to check it out if you're interested in purchasing...I have no dibs.

I still would like to speak with the original owner if anyone knows who that is. Thanks!

Oh, and "no questions regarding the price" from my prior post means that I'm all set on pricing issues and I don't have any questions, not "NO MORE QUESTIONS!".

a lot of people trade in older high dollar cars on new cheaper cars.

I mean take me for example. I have a 02 G500 with 55K miles. trade in is $38-40K and my wife wants an armada. From my point of view i go from a 02 model to a 06 model for like $5-8K if i pay window sticker. Needs in peoples life change. I mean back in day the wife and i drove supra and CLK. ad kids and you need bigger stuff. Also they might have had "insurance shock" if they got a ticket or a young driver in the family.

And we just wanna make sure you don't get you (*&( handed to you, that's all.

Here's a white E55 Estate with just about every option and the mileage......10miles.

It's a 2006......90ish.

Here are the 2004 sedans....averaging around 70k flat.
