15000 / 21 mpg = 714.3 gal X $2.50 = $1786 yr
1786 - 1442 = $344 year difference between 26 mpg and 21 mpg
Will $344 per year make that much of a difference? Buy the car you want to drive.
Has anyone out there gotten any good deals in the Denver/Fort Collins region.
Thanks

The only rub is that it has to be a 2009 and can not be a demo. Our company leases through a third party and it is a mileaged based lease, not a month based. I asked about purchasing a demo unit with a few thousands miles and they said NO.
I am guessing they are going up... a bunch.
I reviewed the sales of the Maxima and Altima since August. The numbers look horrible regardless of what the dealers are telling us. Year over year sales:
Maxima
AUG 08 +15%
SEPT -19.1%
OCT +33%
NOV -37.2%
DEC -16%
JAN 09 -30.3%
FEB -38.4%
MAR -26.4%
Altima
AUG 08 -.5%
SEPT -42.4
OCT -18.5%
NOV -45.3%
DEC -31.2%
JAN 09 -34.7%
FEB -31.5%
MAR -37.8%
I am interested to see April's numbers that should be release next Monday.
Maxima +62.7% - nice recovery, but still -17% for the year which has to be a huge disappointment in the first year of a model overhaul.
Altima -46.9% and -37.7% for the year. I am thinking some big rebates are coming on Altima's.
Did your price of 31,300 include the additional $1000 rebate that was available towards the end of April? I am looking at cars with the same MSRP now and the best anyone will quote me in the Boston area is 31,750 given that the extra $1000 rebate has expired.

probably going to wrap up a deal like this today - anything at or under this I would be ok with.

My negotiation strategy:
1. Found a dealer on ebay with published discounted new car pricing.
2. I used this as my basis for negotiation. I included the URL link of the dealership in Maryland so they could see that I was serious.
3. I emailed 6 local dealers and found one that would beat the price.
The email negotiations were great the closing experience stunk! Although the price was worth the aggravation.
They came back wanting $5k down and $570/mo for 84 months. I understand they want to negotiate, but I was speechless and felt insulted. Was I justified in feeling this way or did they give a legit counter offer? Paying total of $52k for a $32k + $4k for my trade in didn't seem like a good deal.
Another note - I used Nissan's calculator to estimate payment for $29k financed at 4.99% for 60 months. This was about $550/mo. The dealer told me that there was no way that was correct. Was the Nissan calculator that offbase or were they pulling my chain? Didn't leave me with a good feeling about this place.
I'm new to all this, so I do appreciate your opinions and comments.
It's just math..

Thoughts?
Lease rate is .00108
p.s. I heard the May programs have been extended a bit...not sure for how long.
I've had mine (SV w/ prem+tech) for just over two weeks now and it's been great. Still working on figuring out all the bells and whistles. Taking it on a long drive in a few weeks and looking forward ot the experience.
btw, this forum was an excellent resource for me as I headed into the price negotiations...I must have spent two hours plus looking over all the posts and it really helped. Thanks for all the posts!
I like the way new Maximas looks. Altimas coupe looks good but Maximas look great.
My question is the price though. Those who can get $6K off the MSRP, more powers to you. But still that put the price in the low $30K.
Isn't that the same price as the G37? What makes Maximas a better deal?
I have often wondered that myself. With the G you get more horsepower, a 7 speed auto instead of CVT, rear wheel drive (no torque steer) and a longer warranty (4 yr/60,000 versus 3yr/36,000 basic).

the next day i noticed fluid stains in the parking spot where i left it
also when i started it in the morning there was a squeeling noise & clunk untill it warmed up
took it to the dealer he said that the rack and pinion needs to be changed and he said it will take a week to get the part.

Overall I like the car after 4000 miles. My only complaints are the seats are a little hard and the traffic option on the navigation is useless. The brakes are much weaker than my BMW 550. But that is not an apples to apples comparison.
Is that a good deal?
Any ideas on how this deal compares to others' who bought or are looking for a similar car ?

If there is a $750 rebate you should be shooting for $750 under invoice.

The dealership was Nissan of Woodbury NJ. Unprofessional and rude.
I would recommend staying away from dealerships who bait and switch and then get angry at you for their own program.
