Decent.

A good selling price is between $18900-$19100. Shop around, Im sure you'll find it for less.

Just purchased an 09 Altima Sedan CVT S for $21521 plus fees. Sticker $24,720, invoice $23,021, rebate $1500. Wish I had used the www.truecar.com and www.realcartips.com web sites before making the deal. I feel after researching other deals, mine could have been better. The truecar report shows the average paid for the car I bought is $20807. The lowest paid was $18446 and the highest paid was $23168. This was based on the last 372 vehicles purchased as of July 17. Could have done better / could have done worse. Picking it up tomorrow. Just for peace of mind, I'm taking the reports I printed off to show the dealer the deal wasn't the greatest.

I looked at the same car Altima Sedan 2.5S with mats, splash guard and convenience package with MSRP of $23595. With rebate, they gave me a quote of $21106 + fees. After researching some web sites, I figured they should have quoted around $19650 (after rebate) + fees. Your deal sounds pretty good. I went to another dealer.

hi, spazvt, could you tell me which dealer you dealt with? send it to mmstole@gmail.com if you want. thanks.

Looking to purchase a new Altima Coupe 2.5s CVT soon. Should I aim for $18,500 for the base model, or is that too high? Also, what would be a good deal for the 2.5s with the convenience package included?

Truecar.com has the convenience package listed at $20,500, and the base at $19,500 in my area - including the Nissan rebate.

I know this might not pertain to this thread but does anyone know if the altima's steering wheel controls illuminate at nighttime? A salesman told me only the 2.5SL and 3.5SL versions have illuminated steering wheel controls? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!!!

my 2.5S has illuminated steering wheel controls.

I just bought at new 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 S with Convenience, Convenience Plus, Splash Guards, Kick Plates, Fog lights, SL Package, Connection Package, Floor Mats, Rear spoiler, Technology Package. The MSRP is 30,270.00. Invoice is $27,839 I got it for $26,600 with discounts and rebates. The dealer threw in (3) years of scheduled maintenance.

Did I make a good deal?

I just signed a lease contract for a 2009 Nissan Altima Sedean CVT 2.5, with Convenience Pacakge, and SL Package. Total amount to be paid in cash, came out to $4580.00, my monthly's are going to be $257, and I got 12,000 miles per year. This is a 36 month lease.

Can anyone tell me if this was a good deal? Or at the very least decent?

Thanks in Advance!

r000

You made one mistake, you put put money down on a lease. You should have taken a higher monthly payment with only the first months payment due at signing.

wilofiron

Hey....thanks for responding. Well...that's the thing, from the begining, all I wanted was a lower monthly...in fact...that was my whole reason for going to the dealership. I was originally lured with a 'lease special' that stated $1999 down, and 159.99 a month. But this was supposedly offered through some other finance company and not Nissan. The other finance company had a whole list of ridiculous criteria that had to be met in order for me to get this price...it ultimately didn't prove worth it, so I ended up financing through Nissan, which offered this. I basically got baited and switched. The thing is though...when I went to Nissan's website, they advertised leasing for an Altima 2.5S with $2795 down, and $199/month

My breakdown basically looked like this:

Down-payment $2458 (First month,tax,destination charge)
Security Deposit $500
Taxes $801 (in NY you pay taxes on the entire lease up front)
Acquisition Fee $595
Lic./Title/Reg. $226
Total $4580.00

wilofiron

Hey I'm sorry...I don't know if I had mentioned this but I also have the convenience plus package with this vehicle.

Thanks!

Hello,
New to the forum. I recently bought a 2009 Altima Coupe 3.5 SE (radiant silver/charcoal leather) w/premium pkg, tech pkg, vehicle dynamic control, floor mats and kick plates. Total cost was $27299 (includes car & dealer prep fees).

Was this a good deal?

bvetmed

nissan11

Where did you get that quote? What state and seller? Was it online? Did you end up getting it and did you buy it as this quote? I am hoping to get a quote today. Do you know how much the con plus pkg (moonroof) added to it as I don't want this?
Thanks

nissan11

Was the cheap price of 18446 out the door?
Thanks

nissan11

Was this price of 26,600 out the door? You can reply to jcollins@cas.usf.edu if you want.
Thanks

vananj

No it was not, first price was $28,270, then $27,500. Then $26,600 with 3 years of service.

nissan11

Yes I got Nissan S OTD 18446 + 1 year oil changes

grubber56

It was NY. Picking it up today-YAH!!!!

jdpc27

ok...I have a price quote from a dealer in CA for a 2009 Altima 2.5SL with convenience pkg, convenience plus pkg, SL pkg, connection pkg, and with mats and splash guards.

The MSRP is 27,420
The Invoice price is 25,423.00

After applying 1,500 rebate and discounting the car, the final offer is for 22,900.00 before taxes and license fee.

Should I jump on this deal or can i do better?

kuson

I wudnt worry about it if I already paid for it think of it as a best deal anyone can get n Njoy ur car.

I just bought the same car last week. My MSRP was $27,420. I have Navy Blue/Charcoal leather. My out the door (amount to finance) would have been $20,558.36 but I bought an extended warranty 6/100,000 for $1,280 and 3/4 of the care package (paint/undercoat/rust) for $450, so my total was $22,012.36 and I got an interest rate of 4.65% and my payments are $411.88 for 60 months.
You can do better. Good luck!!!

Oh and I live in Lake County, IL. so my taxes were 7%

djcis1

You can get better. I got a quote on this car but the MSRP was $30,100 and here is the quote:
$23492(internet price)
$720 destination
$1812.56 Taxes 7% taxes
$169 for new plates or $106 to transfer
$151.65 doc fee
____________
$26,350.21 with new plates or $26,287.21 with transfer

After the cars voucher ($4,500) the price would have been $21,850.21 OTD

Just to let you know, I went on Friday July 31,st which at the time was the last day to use the clunker program and they didn't have a lot of inventory left so I bought an Altima 2.5SL with an MSRP of $27,420 it has everything except the technology package. I got a very good deal on it. I had 2 dealers fighting for my business.

Good luck!!!

Hmmm...almost 9K off MSRP?

So, even if I can only get 7K off the base 2.5S, I would be able to get 1 for ~15K or less?

dealmaestro10

Hi, I am in Cook County and looking to get the same car, maybe the 3.5 SL with all the packages. Can you share the dealership information and salesperson if possible or PM me.

dealmaestro10

Was the first car you were looking for a 3.5 SL with all packages. So I can probably get about $23,500 for the car?

jdpc27

ok...I have a final and revised offer from the dealer..

2009 Altima 2.5 SL with conv and conv plus pkgs, SL pkg, and connection pkg, with mats and splash guards.

MSRP is 27,420
Inovice is 25,423

Final offer is for 22,500 all inclusive except for taxes and title/doc fees.

Unless a bunch of people tell me in the next 48 hours not to do this deal, I will be the proud owner of a new car. Opinions? Is this a good deal? It seems like it compared to what the other dealerships where quoting.

Hey Grubber56 how did you find out what the invoice price was for an MSRP of $27,420? My wife can get $1,000 under invoice through a preferred dealer. The company that she works for worked out a no haggle price with Rosen Nissan which is $1,000 under invoice $24,423.00

Thanks for your help.

djcis1

djcis1

The reason it was 9k under MSRP was because I got $4,500 for my clunker.

jdpc27

now i get it..the guy who got the call for 20,500 didn't really get it for 20,500. Once you add in his clunker price, he is up to 25,000 otd.

I am actually picking up my car tomorrow or Wednesday...2009 Altima 2.5 s with SL package, conv and conv plus, and connection package with mats and splash guards for 22,500 before tax, title, and license fees.

I should be out the door somewhere around 24,500 or so.

As to the poster that says he has no haggle price of 24,400 or whatever, all that means is that you are still buying the car for 500 OVER invoice because right now there is a 1500 rebate that goes directly to the customer

To get me down to 22,500, i had to be really aggressive and i haven't seen many others get that price as of late..

however, i did receive several offers in the 23,300-23,500 range, so you should defintely be trying to get that no haggle price down. after rebate, you should be paying no more than 23,500 in my opinion.

let me know if anyone is finding a better deal than 22,500....

JD

djcis1

Be careful when you go to the dealer. A lot of them will tell you one price and then they change it when it's actually time to buy. Plus the main thing is your monthly payments. They might give you a great otd price but screw you on the interest rate.
I did get $25,000 otd but my interest rate is 4.65% for 60 months or $383.58 on a loan of $20,500. Good luck and let me know what happens.

jdpc27

thanks for the advice..i'm actually paying cash (i play poker professionally for a living) so they can't screw me on interest rate..

going to be like 24,500 or 25,000 OTD

djcis1

Wow professional poker. Cool!! Texas Hold'em? Vegas?

Hey just to give you a little more advice, they will try to sell you an extended warranty. They wanted me to pay $1,500 for a 6/72,000 and I got them to give me a 6/100,000 for $1,285. I looked online yesterday and saw that I could have gotten it for $780.00. I now have to go back to the dealer and have them sign a cancellation request. I talked to the finance guy and he is not to happy about it, but he did fax it to me and I have to go back to the dealer to have him sign it. Don't make the same mistake as me.

Good luvk,

Dennis

vananj

I bought a loaded 2009 last month and declined the maintenance because I knew I could do better. Where did you see $780.00 price? Thank you.

Hi JD

Hope you are now a happy owner of your new Altima. Can you share the state and dealer name - send it to sush9295@yahoo.com. Thanks !

I am looking at the exact same car in NJ and am also thinking of going for the U01 Tech Package and possibly the spoiler as well ($1735 + $295). It seems that you got a discount of$1285 after the edmunds TMV and the Nissan discount of $1500.

I am thinking of pushing for $24000 for the same config as yours + Tech Package and Spoiler...

Did you check sites such as truecar.com.

Thanks again,

RJ

Hello All,

Hi,

I am interested in buying the 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5S Coupe (Automatic) in the Houston, TX area!

The details are below:

MSRP $25,380
Invoice $23,643
Offer $21,743 ($400 below invoice plus $1500 dollar rebate!)

Do you think I can do better?

Also I am leaning towards not taking the rebate! Its $1500 vs. 1.9% APR. I was told if I don't take the special APR rate, the market rate is around 6-7%.

Good deal? Decent deal? Bad deal?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

The owners manual makes reference to "Key Number Plate" (for replacement keys). I did not get one. There is one reference on this forum that somewhat implies these may have been discontinued.

Are these Key Number Plates still being provided? If so how did you receive them? Handed from dealer? Or are they stored in some place that I may not have looked?

I would like to know from other owners prior to asking dealer. Thanks for your help.

Do a copy/paste on the above address. They are a Nissan dealer in California. The warranty is the exact same one you would get from your dealer. You can get your car fixed (if needed) at the dealer of your choice. Below is a copy/paste of the 6/100,000. Good luck,

It appears all Florida dealers tack on a Dealer Service Fee - $599.95 - which is "below the line", charged along with TT and Sales Tax. I know they also have this in VA., but I have been quoted $249 there (where my son lives). Planning on purchasing an Altima S CVT with Convenience, Splash and Mats - best price so far is $20,060 plus the DSF of $599! Slightly better price in VA., plus lower fee - but a long ride!

I had the same perdicament for about a month. I was looking at an 09 Accord coupe EX-L and an 09 Altima coupe S with the premium package. In the end I bought my Altima yesterday and really feel I made the right choice. I LOVE my new car and I haven't seen another one on the road yet so that is nice to! Though they are both great cars, I feel the accord falls way short of the Altima in features and options...even standard ones. You pay about the same money and get much less with the accord. Though, if you don't need all the fancy stuff, the Accord is a good car for you as well. Best of luck in your decision!!!

stephonyk

Ever thought of leasing? I ask because I got my Altima yesterday and leased it and got a great deal! MSRP $29,745. I did a 39 month lease, 12k miles, 3k down and my payments were $350 a month. I decided to add the warranty and it bumped it up another $5 a month and did 15k miles a year which added another $15 a month...no big deal. So I'm at $370 a month for a brand new almost 30k car. And when I want a new one in 3 years I just give it back without the worry of being upside now in negitive equity with it. If I would have bought it it was almost $625! Good luck with your decision. Either way you won't be disappointed it's a GREAT car!!!

rvaidyan

Wow! That seems outrageous. When I was negotiating for my Altima, I gave him a target price PLUS TTL (I got my 09 Altima S with splash guards, mats, and aluminum kickplates for $17,500). When we finally agreed on the price, I went in to do the deal and found the $75 dealer service fee. I went back to the manager and argued that they were trying to cheat me and that we had agreed on the price plus TTL and nothing else. If there was any other fee, he ought to have told me about it. He argued that EVERY car they sell has that fee and they are required to add it to every single car they sell. I then told him hat if he thad just told me about it, I would have negotiated that into my bottom-line price. Out of frustration, he took another $50 off the price so my "net" fee was $25.

$599 seems off-the-wall crazy.

i too had to choose between the accord coupe and the altima coupe. in my family we have an 06 altima and and 08 sentra so at first i was kind of inclined to get the altima. Then i saw the accord coupe and at least to me it has a better exterior style than the altima. the front of the altima is not all that good looking. only thing i liked about the altima was the push button to start the car.

if you look at the car comparison in the nissan web site and compare the accord coupe and altima coupe everything seems to be standard for the altima and not the accord which is wrong . look at the honda web site to compare it is less of a difference but look at the different trims and its standard features and you can check on that.

i live in houston and i have seen many more altima coupes than accord coupes.
and again the accord does NOT fall short in options. i think the accord actually has a bit more features. Also build quality is much better on the accord. the body in the accord surprised me because it is so strong compared to our altima and sentra. if you are talking about options any dealership is willing to add whatever you want on the car but again that is not standard. also to keep the warranty valid you have to do oil changes every 3,000 miles i can go double that and do it when it need to be done not just because nissan wants you to. trust me interior material is much more durable and stronger in the accord. all that fancy stuff you talk about you paid for it it wasn't standard . not to mention that honda is one of the most reliable makes in the business. but dont get me wrong nissan is good to so far i have had no issues with the 2 nissans we own.

after a lot of thinking i got me the accord coupe and do not regret it a bit. most reviews will have the accord coupe over the altima just do a search on this and you may be able to get more details of why they think its better.

i know its you business "stephonyk" but why would you get a lease for 39 months your car warranty is for 36 months. that is why its better to lease for 36 months to not have to buy any warranty like you did its only like 200 for the whole term but still. also you should always aim at not putting anything down or at least not as much as you did $3000 that is way too much.
i was told by someone that if you lease a car and crash the very next day you lose that money you put down but if you buy you can al least get most of it back when you file your claim that is why many websites that deal with leases say it is not good to put lots of money down.

if you want to talk about fancy features you could of got you an acura tsx or maybe an infinity for that kind of money with good negotiation.

now we own both honda and nissan and i like both a lot but in the case of the coupes the accord coupe would be the better choice. oh yeah the thing i liked about the altima was that it seems to accelerate a bit faster
