I would also suggest that you check out fighting chance (www.fightingchance.com). They have a package for $35 that gives you all of the info on the car (including rebates, etc. that edmunds misses, though there were none on the Altima a month ago when I bought the package) and they tell you how to conduct a "fax attack" which I found very useful. It's a bit of work, but saved me a lot of money. If you do this, you need to do it this week as the end of the month is the best time to buy a car/conduct a "fax attack."
I do not know how the original scammers were able to get hands on my name, address and Vin #. I suspect they obtained it from the dealer. When I spoke with them and asked if they were from Nissan, they said they were."
Beware of this outfit.
I got the exact same card on a car I purchased in 12/21 that has 1,575 miles on it! I've been with State Farm for 35 years, but they'd never heard of this--they are going to check on it and get back with me. Do you mind revealing who you have your insurance with? Thanks!
PLEASE, give more details. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
do you mean $24/mo? Or /year? Or is that the whole cost? what does it cover? who is it through? etc etc

It is worth the money!
Oh and the dealer was fantastic! The only time I have ever had a great experience with a car dealer. I purchased through Gregorios Motors in Valley Stream Long Island and the sales women Names is Susan S. The finance guy offered to sell me extended warranteed which I declined but they did not try to hassle me. It was a pretty cut and dry deal. We spoke over the phone and email. I came in with the deposit and all the paperwork was ready for me to sign. They spent 30 minutes going over the car features topped of the gasoline so I had a full tank and off I went.
Good Luck All!

Supposedly they can find you the car at invoice price.
Give it a shot you have nothing to lose. Its a free service!
It is the dealer demo and has about 60 miles
$400 a month (includes taxes, charged monthly on a lease in NM - approx $30 - so technically a payment of about $370)
39 months
$2000 down
12,000 miles per year
Does this seem fair compared to what some of you are being quoted?
Thank you for ANY help you can give me!
Price including destination charge, $20,399. Nissan of Orange. They beat the AAA and Costco car buying service price. I got the quote through the Edmunds service.
I'll post about my experience after it happens.
2) Is it pretty common to find paint job flaw? On one, I find clear coat over a piece of dust at two different parts of the car.
It's VERY common. DON'T FIX IT. If you break the seal of the paint it lets the elements in underneath, they'll attack that point after a couple of years make it worse than if you'd let it be.
The fleet salesman, at Nissan of Orange (california) was casual and knew his stuff. No pressure to upsell - they offered an extended warrentee, but since it was about $2500 to extend the 3 year factory to a 7 year, I passed.
They did include the (universal) floor mats. Everything else was as expected - convenience package and ABS. I'll do an emergency kit and first aid kit myself.
Out the door at $100 LESS than they quoted me on the phone - $20,299. With tax and title, $22234.16
The only thing I didn't like was they wanted a photgraph, and a thumbprint, they said to avoid Identity Theft. I'm OK with that - my dad's identity was stolen, and one thing the moron did was get a loan for a car in my dad's name. Idiot. It's the one thing in life that always has a paper trail and visibil ID on the outside. But I was paying CASH.
Which leads me to the thing I REALLY, REALLY didn't like. Before they'd take my check, they made me submit to a credit check - full SSN, referenes, all three . I was tempted to turn them down, and come back monday with an envelope full of 100's, but they claimed they had to do it per state regulations, to not take money from people who are laundering it.
I backed down, but I'm not happy about it.
The deal, though, I'm very happy with, and the car drives like a dream. 32 mpg so far.
2007 Altima 4 Cyl w/ CVT
+ Convenience Package (with power wheels, not the alloy package)
+ ABS
+ Floor Mats
The MSRP for the car from the info I have is 22435, which matches what the Nissan site gave me.
Their offer is 21199, without tax, title, license. The invoice price on Edmunds give me $19739, a difference of $1460.
Am I getting a good deal, or should I look for something sweeter?
Any help/insight would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
If you're an AAA or Costco member, use their car buying service, that will get you to about $20,800. I got an email offer of $20,600 from the Edmunds "multiple quotes" system.
But when I run that car and options through Edmunds, I get an invoice price of $20,910, and an MSRP 22,445. I'm in So. Cal., but I get the same thing when I enter a Milwaukee zip code. So I have no idea why the difference.
I think you just shop around by email with other surrounding Nissan dealerships and get their best Out-the-Door price and let them outbid each other.
Mine is super black with charcoal cloth interior. Love it!
I am living 120 miles away from Boston and looking for buying a Nissan Altima 2007 2.5S and don't like to deal with Local dealer here. Currently driving 2005 Altima on lease from IRA Nissan, tried to talk to them through phone and they are not ready to give me any price through phone. They are asking me to visit the show room and I hate to be in a car dealership.
is to note that i am not even "trying to negotiate with them" they just e-mail me every now an then. i have'nt been following up on this particualr forum and i don't know if this would be a good deal. i am just hoping it helps
I never spoke with a salesmen during the negotiation process. All of my negotiations were via email. Sure, the dealers tried to call and talk to me but I purposely ignored all voice mails.
Some of the dealers won't give you offers via email. They want you to come in and "visit". I prefer not to deal with those dealerships - I prefer not to deal with the hard sell tactics and I don't want to waste my time haggling.
I had one dealer claim that they would beat any offer I got by $500. Then, when I gave them my offer price they said they wanted a signed buyer's agreement from the other dealer before they would, supposedly, give me the $500 off deal. I told them that the only dealership I was going to visit was the one that I was going to buy from, the one that provided me the best pre-negotiated price before I ever walked in the door. I wasn't willing to go on some wild goose chase to get another dealers signed buyer's agreement - my time is more important than that !! That dealership never did give me a price quote via email.
The initial "best price" offers that I did receive via email were good offers but, as I found out, it was not their best. Once I had what I felt was the best offer (the offer that other dealerships would not respond to when I asked if they could beat it !!), that's when I called the Internet Sales Manager and told him I was coming in.
- It took me less than 90 minutes at the dealership from the time I walked in the door until I was driving the new Altima home. This included getting approved for Nissan financing at 5.9%. The dealer already had the car cleaned up prior to my arrival.
Thanks so much - very excited about these cars!!
I really hope you purchased a 2007 for that price?!?!I would guess you didn't get the connection pkg....
Thanks in advance for your time and inputs.

Of course I'd really like the auto-dimming rearview mirror with Homelink but it's not available post-factory. The dealer found a similar car at another dealer that he can trade with that has the mirror. However, it doesn't include Anti-Lock Brakes. Guess I can't have everything. **shrug** Both cars are comparably priced below invoice. Good deal?
:confuse:
MSRP of 30715 Invoice of 28099 Can't seem to get any of 3 dealers to go under invoice. What's the trick? I keep pressing for 27,500 but cant get any better than 28100. Am I being too greedy?

Price Paid was $26,901
TMV said invoice with those options is $26,980 which means we got it for $79 under TMV invoice price. Dealer said it was $100 over invoice. Don't know if that is true or not, but we still feel pretty good about it.
Dealer did not have exactly what we wanted in stock, so they are locating one for us. Should have it in a couple of days. In the mean time, they gave us a 2007 2.5S as a loaner.
