Dobbs dealer fee was $479. I know I got took on that but I made up for it with the overall deal I got considering dealers were not wanting to come off of sticker. No high pressure at all. they have their prices advertised on website. check it out.
Catdaddy, Still sounds like a good deal considering the market right now. I was afraid there might by a hefty doc fee considering the aggressive prices posted.
I will not be ready until about this time next year. I am sure by then there will be good deals most anywhere. While the price is good, adding $479 to a cheap airline ticket and the gas to get home to SC I imagine will get me right back up to the VPP Nissan supplier price that I could get at the dealer 2 miles away from home. Plus I can get an extended warranty directly from Nissan at cost if i want it.
I couldn't get a good deal where I live. I received $2500 more for my trade in there and the most I could get them off of MSRP was $2500 at only 1 dealership here in Texas. The rest of the dealers did not want to come off any. I felt like coming off $4000 was very good. They had about 20 on the lot to choose from.
I think you made out like a bandit, especially since you were already in the area for other reasons. I will have to do the math when the time comes. It might not be worth it for me since it would be a special trip for that reason only.
Oh yes, You got me interested a few weeks ago when you advised us of your purchase. Dobbs does not publish what their doc fees are though. This was a red flag for me. A lot of places will advertise a low number and then later you will find out that this # doesn't include destination and/or a high doc fee which makes their real price much higher and no better than any other dealer.
This is why I was curious to hear the whole story from you. I would need to know the total picture so I could decide if buying from them or another low cost dealer is really worth the $ and hassle involved in buying far away from home.
I think my strategy will be to take Dobbs (and others) price to a few local dealers and see what happens. If they say heck no, I can always add the price of the plane ticket and fuel to drive home to my offer and see if that works. If they say heck no again, I have to decide to take a chance on Dobbs, Fitzmall, etc. or to accept the VPP supplier price which is:
"Dealer invoice Minus VPP discount (Nissan 2.87% : Infiniti 1.65%) Plus dealer added options, Security Plus, Infiniti Extended Protection Plan, etc. Plus 2.5% delivery fee of dealer invoice after VPP discount has been subtracted Plus destination and handling charge Minus applicable incentives Equals participant's purchase price"
Not a bad deal; gets close to invoice with no hassle. I will have to compare this to what Dobbs/Fitzmall/and others report on these forums as the months go by.
If I weren't locked in a lease for another year, I would probably be on my way to Memphis by now.
In mid-August, I purchased a 2009 Maxima w/Premium and the Technology Packages. In Central North Carolina, I was able to get $3700 off MSRP. Doc fee was $399. Nissan Apex dealer was also very nice to work with and came very close to this price - they just didn't have the specific color/options I was looking for.
If you can travel, best deals in the Eastern USA appear to be at Dobbs Nissan in Memphis. Even with a $700 shipping fee, you may come out ahead buying from these folks if you live in a big city where large discounts are still hard to find.
not a bad price sounds like this dealer ship is grate what color did you end up getting exterior and interior color how do you like the car Thanks for rreading have a verry good day Marco.
I've had the car 3 weeks now and still love it. I particularly like the car for its luxury features - more so than its sportiness. I plan to publish a review of the car in another week. I got Blue with Tan interior.
soplush - The Maxima is a great car with a nice engine, but I would highly recommend the BMW.
I can't believe that they are not discounting the car. Where are you located?
Also, I would not submit an internet quote to the same dealership. I would receive internet quotes from other local dealers and base your decision on the numbers you receive as well as the perceived customer service.
eights38: I'm in North Carolina. I've owned BMers before, never the sedan. I'll go out on the site here and compare to the benz 350. Good idea on the quotes, will try it out.
I think its simply supply/demand on the pricing thing. Only had 7 in and several spoken for...
There are very good deals going on on E350 right now. If you are willing to spend $600-700s on a lease you can get a fully loaded E350 with AMG Sport package (MSRP $60K+) easily. I personally would rather get G35 for less than $500 per month.
I am coming off a 06 Maxima lease and went today to possibly get the new 09's after seeing it in person and I fell in love. I went to staten island nissan in NYC and they wanted STICKER for the car.
Than they were offering me a DEMO with 3,000 miles on it just because it happened to be the same exact model I wanted. The best part was that he tried to tell me having 3k miles is still new, so I countered and said than why not just give me a car with no mileage, he was dumbfounded. The manager was no smarter as I wasn't budging a bit.
Sport package+Technology, I told them I was returning a lease early and I had already paid off the last two months, they did nothing for me. They said the best they could do was 2,500 down and 509 a month. As a returning customer that is a bit disrespectful, I don't really need the car seeing as how I still have 2 months left and I figured they would do something for me.
I immediately wanted to walk away and my final offer was 1,000 out of pocket and 475 a month and they said NO.
After reading about how many people are getting 3-4k below sticker and getting 450 a month leases on the same car I am seriously NEVER dealing with this dealership ever again. I quoted an 09 TL for 500 a month 1500 down, they tried to tell me the Maxima was more of a luxury car than an Acura and at these prices they aren't kidding. :mad:
Vinny625 see my post #585 if it is any consolation to you. I got the same treatment here. The dealers are acting like they did when the new 350Z roadsters came out.
it is all dealer games I dont waste my time I just tell them I will go to a nother Nissan dealer and get a grate price then walk away. they then run after you and drop the price $500 and I still walk vinny go to copal Nissan in Jakson Hights queans. or look at a few mor dealers as whell around your aria. this dealer in statandisland is bad news. thanks for reading Hope I was able to help you out have a verry good day thanks Marco.
Looking in Houston for a 09 Maxima SV with Sport Pkg, Summer Tires. Got an offer for one in New Orleans for $4085 off sticker! Waiting to find out if it is demo. Whats the going discounts now? Is the Navi worth it? or is it too outdated? I am thinking $3800 off of sticker would be a good enough to bite. What do you all think? Thanks for the feedback.
Just got the hook on the $4085 off MSRP...the "window etching" costs $495 on the backside of the deal. No thanks. Down in Houston you can easily go to invoice on these cars. Dealers have stock. Now the story is how low will they go?
nice chunk off the price of that car keep us updated on if it is a demmo or a brand new one it is a grate car and nissan makes grate cars. thanks for reading my posting and have a verry good day Marco
The money factor being offered by Nissan is very high. I have been shopping around in the central mass area and am hoping that Nissan reduces the MF to make leasing more attractive.
That looks like a great selling price as it is over 1,000 under invoice and the 586 does not completely cover the typical acq. and doc fees. Could you add more details on what MF and residual they are giving you?
off the top of my head i think the residual was 57 of 58 percent and the MF was .000270
I dont have the deal sheet only the paper with the up front of 586 and the payment of 468.50 and the term of 39 months.
For comparison the other dealer i called came in with 480 with similar up front fees. Less than 600 OOP Same exact car. They have told me that they will match the lower price only if I give them a deposit...shady.
nice congrads on the new 2009 Max. so what color is your car and what color is the interior of your max nice car so you got every option nice man might have to take a ride and get a max there haha lol good luck with it nissan makes grate cars you will love it thanks for reading have a verry grate day marco.
Just purchased my Maxima yesterday. Base model with floor & trunk mats. $26,299 + tax & docs = $28,7XX OTD. I live in San Mateo County with a tax rate of 8.25%. I didn't purchase an extended warranty or any other back end offers, but the dealership did offer my first oil change for free.
What's kind of option you have? Does this pricing include blue-tooth and NV? I am in SF bay area either and think about to buy either Acura TL or Nissan Maxima under 30K as outdoor pricing. Thanks.
Just like zman16 stated, you'll need to look at the SV trim levels to get either bluetooth and/or nav. I don't think you'll be able to get either a TL or Maxima with those options for under 30K out the door....more power to you if you can.
What kind of deal is a good one for a 2009 Maxima SV with Prem. and NAVI (sticker price is about $38,500)? I want an idea of a good price withOUT tax, title and license. I don't want a sport package. Thanks.
to answer your questian for the pricing on a sv max I would say around $35000 with rebates and everything said and done that might be a bit lo but who nos nissan makes grate cars pleas keep us updated on what you do thanks for reading marco
With so little incentives out there, is anybody buying the Maxima or are people waiting for the incentives to get better? If somebody reading this has purchased one recently, what was the out the door purchase price? Thanks,
My wife and I are in the process of shopping for a new Maximum when one of the dealerships we are working with contacted us today and informed us that they are selling a ’09 Maxima SV w/sport tech package for $29,900 (original MSRP of $37,585) for a customer who does not want the vehicle anymore. The vehicle has around 3,500 miles, and at the time of purchase the current owner purchased all of the extras sold by the F&I guy. In addition the car comes with the set of original tires, plus a set of Bridgestone Blizzacks. Does anyone see anything negative in this potential buy? My only concern is that the owner had a professional install one of those plastic shields covers over the front end of the car. Would that void the warranty or ruin the clear coat? Thanks for the advice.
I'm kind of surprised to see people suggesting that $3k off is a good deal in this economy. Deals can be found easily on-line for considerably less than invoice especially on the more highly packaged Maximas. I've been looking for about the past month, and here's what I concluded. Given the abysmal economy; the glut of leftover 08's from many competitors (Acura TL, Infiniti G35, etc.); and the high price for a non-luxury label, the high-end Maximas are selling for a solid 2K below invoice already in my part of the country - DC / the mid-atlantic region. Dealers who ordered highly equipped models are trying to dump them. (BTW, I am merely debating between an 09 Maxima and an 08 G35x, and the leftover G is cheaper.) Dealers are showing those kinds of discounts on-line as their internet prices with no negotiation needed. I am seeing loaded SV models with MSRPs of $37K and $38K listed for $31-32K. Modestly equipped Maximas are listed for invoice or about $1K below invoice. Do a wide search on-line, negotiate over the phone, and then buy a plane ticket if you want to save an extra $3K.
Great advice no matter what vehicle you're shopping for. People feel they are restricted to buying locally. A poster on the murano thread who lived in the northeast flew into st. louis and drove it back home and saved $2500 including airfare, gas, lodging.
Hey, New to the post, but wanted to contribute as I have used this sight numerous times. I just purchased Black on Black, SV Tech and Sport, $34,717 out the door. I am in CT so that includes Tax of 6%. and title reg fees of Approx $145. I hope this helps.
pulled the trigger on a Maxima sv sport with tech package. msrp $38455. negotiated down to $32400..great deal... Glick Nissan of Westboro. great guys to deal with..
well i have an option between a Maxima SV bluetooth, Nav, moonroof, harddrive, ipod dock, nearly all options the MSRP 38300 dealer finally down to 33999. the biggest issue is financing and then gas mileage. I had issues with incorrect mileage on my loaded altima and could only get 26mpg no matter how I drove with blended but mostly highway. The trip would show 28 or 29 but would only be 26. I am worried I will get the same w/ the maxima. Financing they still have nothing can get 4.9 but Hyundai is offering the Genesis at 2.9 it just cost 3k more for similar package. I am open for advice. signed tired of car shopping.
When you spend 35k on a loaded car, mpg should be very low on your concern list. You could buy a loaded chevy malibu LTZ for 8-10k less and have a nice ride and save enough to pay for gas for many years. The deals on hybrids a amazing now. They almost make sense to buy if mpg is an obsession. You did well to average 26mpg on your altima -- very well. The maxima will not do any better.

I'm torn between the Maxima and the C350 Benz sport for a few reasons.
1. They're Not Budging Off List.... here are the lease deals I was quoted for 39 mos 12K mi per year:
$1000 down, 747/mo
2500 down, 699 mo
5000 down, 643/mo (are u serious?)
2. The seats on the SV I test drove were very uncomfortable. Felt like I was sitting on a pull out couch bed. Surprising compared to my current max.
3. Price - At right around $41K, I'm wondering why I shouldn't look at a Benz or BMW with longer warranty.
Another question....can you ask for an internet quote after you've already been out to the dealership? Just curious if I'd get a better deal.
Appreciate any feedback you guys have. Thanks.
