That being said, the Altima is definitely more of a "normal" car overall--ride, quickness, handling, etc. The seat and steering wheel adjustments alone are enough to make me want one over a Prius ... but not quite.
price 24,000
months 39
mileage 12,000
down 3128.00
residual 54%
money factor .002350
I think I should have just got a Prius.
Still won't come in before Thanksgiving. I am getting the feeling it could even be December but that was not said. Just "late Novemeber." I think you know what I mean.
It would make total wait time two months here in NY.
Anybody else waiting out there? :shades:
You got a good price on the Nissan, but that's offset by the money you lost on the other car. Generally, behind the scenes, that's the way dealerships cut deals. They know how much they need to get out of a deal, including how much they'd pay for a trade-in. They will adjust the deal on the new car and the used car until it meets or exceeds what they know they have to get. You got a good deal on the new car because you didn't get a good deal on the trade-in...
It will take you about 74,000 miles to make up the $2,500 loss for trade-in at $3.00 a gallon or about 55,000 miles at $4.00 a gallon - unless my math is faulty.
$19,999 (but who knows if the dealership would actually honor their online price)

but i think hiwayman's point was to do more research before you sign your name on the dotted line for a car. who really cares if the dealership made or will make money. at the end of the day, he still lost $2500 due to the trade in

//audit, not tax
The problem is that many low income people won't have the extra $ (3-4K) to buy the hybrid in the first place so they have no problems with the AMT.
I think a good portion of people who buy this car might make 50K or more per year. A family of 4 with 100K income (6% pre-tax deduction for 401K, 2 kids tax credit, and no itemize deduction) can barely get any $ (b/c of AMT) back if they decide to buy a hybrid.
I think the credit should be just a straight deduction and not subject to AMT.
It's simply not fair to Americans to have to know two wholly separate tax codes, which is really what they are. If it's confined to the superrich, they have tax people to deal with it. It should not affect the number of people it currently is. End of story.
The problem is that now it's become such a revenue producer that they can't afford to get rid of it, or aren't willing to.
I would happily pay another 1-2% in my marginal tax rate for them to fix this and index AMT to inflation--even though I don't currently pay AMT.
it's sort of like the mass pike tolls. they were supposed to be taken down once the mass pike was paid off, but now they keeping raising the tolls and are using it as a cash cow, booo!!!!!!
On a different topic, my friend waited for his Murano and got a VIN number beforehand. He was able to enter it on a Nissan site and track car's location... it would tell him that the car is on the boat and on its way for example. Anyone heard about this feature?
am i correct on this one?
It makes sense, I guess--what if the car broke down while in another state?
I'll try to find out, but apparently it's some internal site, probably used by dealers themselves.
I've just learn my hybrid is suposed to arrive tomorrow. Hopefuly I'll have it for the long weekend. FINALY!
And yes, I'll let you know when it finally arrives. I've been waiting for about 5 months as well (went to another dealer).
Hope you get yours soon too.
Just have to wait, that's what happens when we get picky and want that special color, or navigation, or a hybrid... I've been patiently waiting and driving my old beat up Honda but it's worth the wait.
Well, you think 5 months is a long time? Check out the wait time for these cars (different price range though);
Most Coveted Cars
but yeah, when i was waiting for my car, i zoomed into their plant too, you can see a test track
