Good luck
Finding such serious problems on a brand new car was disconcerting and ruined the new car buying experience. :lemon: Fortunately, the dealership was willing to take the car back (they offered a replacement, but did not have another one in the same color/configuration available).
Happy new year to all of you!

Hope this helps.

1) The guy called Dale Jungeberg quoted internet price of $12478 for a Versa 1.6 + Auto + ABS + free mats
2) I confirmed every piece of details with him on the phone
3) I drove 25mi down there. They let me see the manager only and said 1.6 doesn't have ABS (even though it does have that officially on Nissan website) and claimed that no dealers are quoting that with ABS. The lowest model that has ABS is 1.8 (much more expensive)
4) They requoted a lower price but without ABS and still stood firm on their lies that the model I wanted is without ABS until I told them I saw that exact model with my own eyes at other dealerships
5) Suddenly the manager changed his tone and said that they can get it for a higher price
6) I shook his hands and left
Their overall attitude was horrible. They can lie to you without even blinking their eyes. One thing for sure is they are still using that kind of old school bait and switch to cheat people. You folks out there be careful. I am sure you don't want to deal with any dealership without a single bit of honesty in their heart. It's a cold hard warning to you!!!
Good luck buying a new car!!!
Nice little car and really like the CVT on it. Got a very fair price with the rebates so everyone is happy.

The Dealer is Tamaroff in Southfield, in the metro detroit area.
From my this and past experience, this particular dealer gives a very reasonable initial quotes, so there is not much haggling involved.
Tamaroff gave me an initial price quote of $15.3K. OTD
Another dealer, (Dick Scott) gave me an initial quote of $16.8K for a 2.0S. OTD
Suburban Nissan, gave me an initial quote of $15.5 for a 2.0base. OTD
Even for my previous purchase of the 2004 Sentra, tamaroff gave me the best quote of 12.7k OTD. Only at the time, a dealer near my home was able to match it, so I bought it from the other dealer.

I'm hoping for $14000 for the car, or under $14900 with the ConvPkg +TTT. I'd rather try for 14K as I want to be about $15000 before my down payments. I'm here in the Tampa, FL area so if anyone as far north as Gainesville, South to Naples or East to Orlando area got a car, let me know!!! and what price.
All this for $14k OTD. Bought the car on 2/2/09.
Want to know if this was a good price, or are there people who get an even better deal?
Does anyone have some insider info as to what the next round of rebates will be???
I believe in Dec/Jan the rebates were $2000/$1750.. i'd like to get an 09 but might not be ready to purchase prior to March 3rd (have someone buying my car and my father will be so kind and give me $200/month to help out in March...
I'm thinking of just waiting and seeing what comes next..
36 months. 12k miles
$259 per month
How would you rate this???
thanks

17,163 miles.
So how much should I offer them? (OTD/DO price)
I bought myself an 09 Sentra CVT FE+ 2.0S with $15,500 drive-out (car+ TTL+ rebate).
P.S: I lived in Texas with 6.25% tax
On Monday 5/18/09 I came to the Nissan of North Olmsted dealership to look at a used 2008 BMW 335xi.
The salespeople who assisted me were Steve Johnson Jr. and Jarod Miller.
After having further researched the vehicle myself, I feel that I was deceived about the car's tires (Jarod said they were not runflats after going back and supposedly researching them online when indeed they were) and lack of a spare tire in the trunk - but that's not where it ends.
On Thursday afternoon, 5/21/09, I got a very rude phone call from Steve Johnson Jr. After I tried nicely to explain to him that I was no longer interested in the vehicle, he accused me (in a very resentful tone) of 'wasting his time', 'keeping him late', 'copping out' and not telling him 'like a man' that I wasn't interested.
He also tried to tell me that it was my fault that I didn't research the car better prior to coming in, and that I should have already known myself that the tires were the problematic runflats that have created multiple class action lawsuits against BMW.
It amazes me that someone with this bad of an attitude problem still has a job as a car salesman.
I work in a corporate environment and we are typically not allowed to make personal phone calls, which is why I sent an email on Thursday morning explaining to Steve why I was no longer going to pursue the BMW.
I have never been this insulted in my entire life by a salesperson (or anyone in general for that matter). I used to work as a salesperson in retail, and if we told off a customer like Steve did to me, we would get fired on the spot.
This has me absolutely outraged and I will not stop until corrective action is taken against both Steve Johnson Jr. and Nissan of North Olmsted.
My suggestion is to RUN, not walk, away from this dealership.
The original MSRP of the car with floor mat and mud guard is $18,760.
The car has 31 miles before I test drove it. But it has sit in the dealer's lot for 5-6 months.
msrp for car is $18,130.00
what's a good price i should pay for this vehicle without any rebates??

Please advice. Thanks,
It was a pleasant and relatively quick buying experience (I've leased two other Sentras from Feldmann, in the '90s), maybe because they also have a Mercedes dealership next door. I did have a quote from another dealership to bargain with ($189/month, 0 out of pocket) which made it easy to negotiate. BTW, I used the Edmunds.com dealer locator tool to contact Feldmann. I also used it for 3 other dealerships in the area (and contacted another directly), and only heard back from one of them (Wayzata Nissan), which provided very prompt and courteous service through Internet sales, but could not match Feldmann's deal. Luther Nissan (which I contacted directly) also provided very responsive service via Internet sales--they were my fall-back option.
I am pleased with the deal I got. Feldmann had a 2.0 S just like mine on the showfloor, with a sign touting a $259/month lease with 0 out of pocket--or about $75 a month more than my deal. I figure a good used car, if around $9000 plus T&L, would have run about the same monthly payment if I wanted 0 out of pocket, at 4.29% for 60 months. And I got a brand-new car with all the latest safety features (well, not ESC), features like iPod interface, no repair worries, and low maintenance costs (probably 2 oil changes a year based on how I drive). Plus the GPS and DVD player will come in handy. And Feldmann offers free manicures and chair massages every Thursday--which I know my wife will take full advantage of!
Very surprising how little attention the Sentra gets. We were able to get this Sentra for about the same price as a Versa and after driving both it was a no-brainer. The car drives MUCH better than I thought a car this size should. The Nissan quality seems great. A little concerned about the vehicle assembled in Mexico but I see no quality issues as of yet.
Since we got the base model we dont have cruise control, the stereo is kinda weak and it doesn't have keyless entry. We intend on addressing these short comings in the next few months.

Enjoy your new car!
I had no idea you are driving a Sentra! I've enjoyed your posts for years in the Hyundai/Kia forums. I too am a huge Hyundai fan and have watched them grow to a force in the auto industry. I've owned many but when I tried to score an Elantra(which was a 2010) I couldn't match the Sentra deal. When I compared the specs between the two vehicles I found them to be quite similar so I decided to save some money and get the 2011 instead of the 2010 Hyundai. First time I can recall passing on Hyundai because they cost too much!!!
I'll admit though, the 2011 Elantra is stunning and I would love to drive one but this Sentra is for my 17 year old son and I'm funding it and wanted to keep it as reasonable as possible while getting all the modern safety features. We started looking at used cars but for the price of this Sentra why go used?

Great little car and I especially like the higher front seat for my spinal issues...a better seat than my Civic!
