Thanks for you post. I'll shoot for 18,000 +TTL (and repost with updates). Do you have a dealer in washington you'd recommend?
Anywho, here's my current issue: I want a 2.5 coupe, black with leather/bluetooth/bose audio
Dealer in South NJ offered me 26,999 - 5,000 for my trade in + TTF.
Any thoughts on what kind of a deal this is?
To add navigation you add in the Technology Package. Which seems to add in all the options. Then the car jumps to $29,765
Anyone know if this is correct? To get navigation you need to spend 29,000?
Even on the 4-cylinder engine?
MSRP, including destination, is 22870
Also should have mentioned car is Autom. CVT
I know the price has adjusted since I bought, but you should definitely be closer to $20K flat than you are to $20,500.
I'd offer $19,700 and see where they counter; if they're above $20,000 flat, walk away and wait a few weeks and pay about $20,500 for the brand new 2009 models.
2008 Altima 2.5S, Autom. cloth interior, with Convenience Package (not
Plus), mats and splash guards, cash sale. Mid-Atlantic region
If they didn't, well, I'd just flat out walk and try another Nissan dealer. Life's too short to play games with a dealership. I would just tell them that you were offered $6000 for your trade, and ask whether or not they will honor the trade in price on the transaction. If not, I'd demand your deposit back. Is your deposit refundable? Never put down a deposit unless it's fully refundable and in writing.
If there's not another Nissan dealer near you, I'd just go buy the Accord.
(1) Call, email, or visit other dealers and see what they say about that type of car being available, and what they can do for you on price. There is no reason you should only be dealing with one Nissan dealer, especially one that has trouble giving you a straight answer.
(2) You are lucky if you get your deposit back that easily and/or that quickly. DO NOT give any more deposits. There is no advantage for you to do that and you are giving up negotiating leverage by doing so.
(3) Are you sure you can afford this tricked out car if you have to put the deposit on your mom's debit card? I don't mean that as an insult, just an observation based on what you've reported.
(4) On financing, regardless of what APR it turns out to be, $401 at 60 months is about $2400 better than $399 at 66 months. Just do the math. You are spending $399 a month for six additional months.
I believe that's the most expensive 4 cylinder Altima, though.
even if your payment is higher, it's better to go with the shorter terms...
I am looking to buy and have narrowed my search down to two Nissan dealers in the Central Florida area.
The 1st quote I received was $20,700 (out the door) after some haggling, I got the price lowered to $20,250.
Another dealer has countered with a price of $20,200 (out the door)
The sales tax rate is 6.5%
Does these prices seem reasonable? I'm still researching, and won't make a final decision for about another week. These dealers are calling me everyday, several times a day. I'm tiring of the process, but I won't act until I know that I am getting a fair price. I am wondering how low will they go and should I hold out a while longer?
Also, what is the real invoice for this model?
Thanks
Tonight I looked at a 2009 Altima 2.5S CVT with Convenience Plus Package (moonroof & 16” Alloy rims) in Western, NY. (sales tax = 8%) MSRP = $ 24,520.
With $2k down I told them to incl everything, no surpirses. They quoted me $290mth~39/mo lease~15K miles
With just the basic Convevience Pkg (no moonroof or 16") $264????
All that didn't sound bad, but I always have that feeling like I should be able to get better. Car_man.... what do you think???? :confuse:
I am from CA.
Planning to buy a 08 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE
MSRP Ranges between 25,500 - 26,000
Got a deal for 19,999 + Other Expenses.
OTD would be 22,000
How much OTD can we get it for?
Any suggestions
Nissan Altima Buyer
Anyway, I've noticed several things upon returning to one of the dealers I was negotiating with to buy my car from.
First, The 2009 Altima 2.5 SL (no connection pkg.) no longer includes dual-zone automatic climate control. You now have to buy the Connection package to get the dual-zone automatic climate control. IMO whatever advantage Nissan had for equipping their cars over a comparable Honda Accord is now gone. Use this as a negotiating tactic when you're buying a 2009 Altima 2.5 SL
Next, I've also noticed two dealerships around here (Family Nissan in Oxford, AL and Nissan of Gadsden in Gadsden, AL) have put up stickers with "market adjustments" of $1000 over MSRP for 2009 Altima 2.5 SL sedan models and $2000 over MSRP for 2009 Altima 2.5 S Coupes w/ Premium Pkg. Is the market demand for these cars really that high? Personally, I couldn't see myself paying $29k for a 2.5s coupe w/ Premium Pkg.
Happy hunting guys!
Advice? What are prices paid on the 2009 Altima 2.5S with convenience -- should I just go for that? Or a 2008 2.5 SL if I can find that? Many thanks.
I was seeing earlier posts that $18K including destination and after rebates was a good price for the 2.5S. Adding convenience package, $19K seemed to be reasonable -- this is why I thought I should be able to do better than $19,600.
Regardless, though, here's my opinion:
It's a done deal. take it.
