Getting my windows tinted for free this sunday. Overall I think I did pretty good, for a woman!
I just been quoted for a new 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5S, Auto, Convenience Package, ABS, + Destination for $19798 for here in Southern California. Invoice is $20833. Is this a good deal? I'm also going to add a spoiler and floor/trunk mats. Anyone got a good deal on those?
Thanks!
2007 Altima SL's are pretty depleeted. The dealership you bought at, i would assume didn't have any SL 2007 Altima's
Dealer 1: $20,800 -
Dealer 2: $20,700 - w/ ABS and rubber mats
I went to dealer 1 to see if he could match the $20,700 - $300 = $20,500 for ABS since the first car did not have ABS.
He said "no way" and that I would ultimatly be hit with extras at dealer #2.
Do these prices sound good? I will let you know how things go. I plan to purchase in a couple of days.
According to your number, a base 2.5S auto will be around $17,800 with destination. That's $2000 under invoice. I don't think anyone ever posted that they got that low.
I doubt you will find that many dealers will do that price unless they need to sell one more car to meet their goals.
Put it this way, I just bought an 08 2.5 SL and had absolutely no problem getting $2000 off the MSRP price and this was simply me walking in a dealer and negotiating with a regular sales guy (not internet pricing or anything special). I am sure not all dealers are willing to lower the prices but I think it's important for the buyer to know what's a good 'resalistic' price to negotiate for. I only started researching the Altima 2 weeks ago, and prior to hitting this forum, I didn't know whether people could get $500 off or $5000 off.
Also advertising the following:
* 3.5 SE w/ CVT + Technology Package for $26,999
* 3.5 SE w/ CVT + Sport Package for $21,999
...both prices after same rebates mentioned above, but the flyer does say that the sale ends 8/26/07.
In a conversation I had yesterday from a local dealer rep, they indicated that there will be another sale over labor day weekend, presumably with similar deals.
That said, :surprise: :mad: you're a woman, and you actually say "FOR A WOMAN???!!"
It's true that a lot of women do get screwed over when it comes to new car purchases, but come on, "for a woman???"
* 2007 Altima 2.5 S
* SL Package
* Connection package (XM or Sirius OK)
* Color: Precision Grey
...and I'm getting a quote of $24,002 on a model that has the right packages plus some extra bells and whistles (this includes the $500 rebate), but is not the color I want (IIRC, the one they have is Radiant Silver).
Something about the price doesn't smell right, even though the sales rep says that the invoice on this model is $24,702.
What's everyone's gut feeling (or real-world-evidence-based feeling) on the matter? I was hoping for something along the lines of the formula ciruss suggested in post #1203, which would put it somewhere in the $23,900 range (though I'd really prefer $23,500).
I honestly didn't expect the best quote the first time around, but it kinda took the wind out of my sails. :sick:
What do you guys think?
[edit]
I just thought of something else... how much should one expect to pay for TTL in CA for a vehicle in the $23-24K range?
I'm assuming tax will be 8.5% for the county I reside in (so that would be around $2000-2040), but I was unsure about the other fees (i.e. licensing and doc)... what should I expect there?
:confuse:
[/edit]
It sounds like you are calling around getting phone quotes. If they offered you that price for a differant color it is probably because they only have that color. It is the end of the month and maybe that dealer has to meet a quota. But for wanting a price of $23900 ( I know you prefer $23500) You are at a differance of $102. I assure you he is giving you the best deal. On that car with connection pkg 2.5 sl. I would take the deal as fast as you could.
It's funny everyone always wants the best price out the door and when you get it you think something is wrong.
Here is the breakdown:
cost: 27,000.00
PA insp/emissions 73.95
PA Tax (6%) 1,624.44
Title,tags,document
fee,notary fee,etc. 137.50
Total OTD 28,835.89
So, would it be better for me to put an extra 10k down or leave it in my money market currently getting 4.5%?
My understanding has alwasy been that, in this situation, I should put down the minimum because I am making more interest than paying. Is that correct? I guess I don't know if its a 1-to-1 comparison (the 1.9% vs. the 4.5%).
Thanks for any help.
Thanks!
And no, currently there is only the low finance rate incentive for the 08 altimas (no cash incentives).
-convenience package, splash guards, ABS, mats with hooks.
Is this a good deal?
I appreciate any thoughts.
On a different note - is getting an 08 2.5 S with a few options for invoice a deal to be excited/happy about?
We called to get a status of delivery and to our surprise was told if you get the Technology Package on the Altima 2.5-SL, then Foglights and the Spoiler are no longer an option, but a must-have (by Nissan rules). Now the dealer is indicating we will have to adjust the contract price to include the $680 cost of these items.
Still waiting for the car, and for a resolution on this matter. We are willing to accept the Foglights and Spoiler on the car. That is not an issue. The issue is whether we have to pay for these items. Just curious if anybody knows what legalities are on our side regarding this issue?
Haha, if you have no issue, you should pay for that.
OTH, I think it's fair that they don't charge you full price for those 2 items cuz they're not part of the contract. :shades:
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
Therefore if they wish to retain our business, our inclination is that they should have to take the loss on this one. I believe the contracts are written more in favor of the dealership, therefore they could cancel the contract due to a price change, and would of course have to refund the full value of our deposit.
What has us a bit upset is that when they did tell us about this mistake, they quoted us the MSRP price for the additional Foglights and Spoiler. The least they could have done is negotiated their mistake by quoting their cost. That might have gotten a more favorable reaction.
Bottom line, we like the car. We are just trying to see what options we might have at our disposal (legal, or negotiation wise), before we give up on it. We might be able to work something out if they throw in some extras, such as dealer-cost on the missed items, and something like some free oil changes, or possibly Floor Mats. We shall see.
Bottom line is, we will probably pursue the purchase of this car. Depending on how they handle their mistake, will determine whether we buy it from them or not. There are plenty of other Nissan dealerships in my area to work with.
Please let me know.
If you go to the Nissan website and 'Build Your Nissan', you will see the MSRP prices for what you have:
$20,580 Base MSRP
$3,850 2.5 SL Package
$1,000 Connection Package Accessories
$625 Destination and Handling
$26,055 Total Configured MSRP
So you are getting over a $1000.00 off list. Is that good? All I can say is that it is a better deal than the one my wife and I worked out at our dealership, who claimed they wouldn't deal much because the car is in such demand. Plus you are getting the low financing rate. Therefore from my experience, you did not do too bad. Could you do better elsewhere? I wouldn't know.
Thanks
It's great reading all your comments.
I live in Northern NJ. I am planning on buying a new 07 Altima 2.5S(CVT+ABS+ConveniencePkg+splguards+kickplates).
The best deal I have gotten is 19955 from cars direct including dest charges and $1000 incentive.
Is this a good buy? Should I wait till month end?
I have stated this price(I didn't mention the web site though) and asked for bids from the dealers in my area through yahoo.com only if they can beat it.
Is this a good price? Should I wat till month end? Appreciate any input/advise especially from NJ.

There are no legalities. In 2007 it was optional. Now it is the only way it is coming. You can hold a grudge with the dealer and go somewhere else to find out the same thing and the same deal. Or you could choose not to buy the car and with a different make. If you were $680 over invoice than I would argue that they should honor their price but if they are at invoice than I don't believe they will lower the price anymore. i understand it is frustrating but it is what it is. The dealer doesn't have to honor their price.
Maybe you need to prod them but they should throw something in to sweeten the deal to make up for their price mistake. You still pay a bit more than agreed but get a little extra out of it... :shades:
