It's just your basic 2.5S with automatic, air, keyless, cd. Thats about $300 less than a Camry LEor $800 under an Accord LX.
Bought it at a lot on the North side of Dayton OH using an ad from a place on the South side of town advertising it for that price. They hemmed and hawwed and asked if I couldn't give them a bit more. I wouldn't. But I also didn't feel like there was any better deal to be had.
My last concern - the plastics on the interiors was answered when I drove by the rental car place and observed they were buying Altima's. They aren't going to buy something that is old or that won't hold up.
I pick it up in a couple weeks.
Did it all via email with an internet sales guy at the dealer. No hassle, very easy way to go!

SL plus ABS/Side airbag and Roof. No spoiler or fog lights.
1.9 APR, 2000 down plus my remaining lease so after everything is paid off in 4 years.
Total 25570. Includes taxes and title etc...
about 400 dollars over MSRP. Not bad for including taxes. I basically saved around 2K if I bought it when the economy was good and the APRs were 5ish...
If you figure most people who bought a loaded 3.5 SE paid around $28k -- that car can now be had for $14k. Dump even $4000 into a new paint job and body work and you STILL come out ahead.
Flyer even states, "We will Pay Off Your Trade no matter how much you owe, if we make a deal."
I wonder how bad the damage really is? If anyone checks this out -- post what you find...
The signs on the cars were not 1/2 off MSRP. Only a few thousand.
Most had varying degrees of damage to the flat surfaces.
I can see 1/2 off then get a new hood and trunk, but what do you do with the roof? Will it ever look right?
6.2% is a good rate. The average rate at my store on new cars 8.9%..............
Gorgeous car. My alternative to spending $39,500 on a Murano (and I get leather on the Altima).
Polished Pewter 2.5 SL, ABS Air Bag PKG, 5 piece floor mat set, power glass sunroof, side sill and rear splash guards, in cabin microfilter. With destination charge of $540 the MSRP was $25,784. Paid $24,091 after they added the wheel well protectors and a dual black pinstripe kit. Had a heck of a time finding one equipped the way I wanted in the Seattle area. It had to be this color and had to have ABS brakes and side air bags package, which I think is called the Option A package. Couldn't care less about a sunroof but dealer looked two months out and nothing like it without the sunroof. You get it sold to you whether you want it or not, I suppose unless you ordered the car from scratch. Also has the automatic trans... BTW, but I don't think you can get an SL without an automatic. It's an absolutely gorgeous car with the sill trim and the splash guards and the pin striping really sets off the look as well. First impressions... don't get the V6, (I didn't) it's almost dangerous due to the excessive torque steer. Darn near put it into a Jersey barricade on a test drive accelerating around a corner from a stop light when I punched it. Hey, it was a test drive, OK. You gotta push it to find this stuff out. Salesman was white knuckled and I'm sure unimpressed. Didn't buy from him anyway... he kept pushing the hail damaged fleet he had in the back lot and man were they damaged! Even had dents in the sides of the doors! What a joke. Anyway... the 2.5 has gobs of power. Bose stereo is awesome. Has a little more road noise than I expected and the steering is touchy cruising at 70+ on the interstate highway. Hard to relax. You actually have to pay attention to driving, but this may be due to having to get used to it. Did an 1800 mile, two day trip in a 2003 Buick Park Avenue rental last summer and you could drive it while sleeping... beautiful highway cruiser and super quiet. Had to put that in for you old fogies looking for a cruiser... Let's see, what else... Fit up on the door armrests leaves a little to be desired. Don't know why the fit is so bad, but it looks like a two piece design of molded plastic that just doesn't quite fit together. Minor point but you notice it right away. Seats are very comfortable. It's quite roomy for 4 and 5 wouldn't be too bad as long as they aren't big people. Other thing is it has like VERY little headroom and I'm only 5'9" tall. Only has about two inches of clearance, if that... Could be annoying if you are a tall person. I'm used to my '94 Quest where you have about a foot. Again maybe sedans are like that these days, I don't know since I haven't had a sedan since 1975. That's about it for the first 250 miles... havent' even checked the gas mileage yet. Will do that tomorrow. Oh, I forgot to add that I came within about a hair's breadth of pulling the trigger on a VW Passat. Had actually told the Nissan dealer I had decided on the Passat. Then... I started looking on the internet regarding VW's and Passats in particular. Got some really vocal people regarding the VWs on the net. The 7/8/04 JD Powers reliability study results did it for me though. The VWs ranked way below avereage... down there with the Kia etc. Nissan was above average... VWs can be VERY, no, make that hideously expensive to repair. One guy said his 2K Passat had the tranny go out and it was out of warranty and it couldn't be repaired and had to be replaced instead... are you sitting down? $10,000!! I think I'd just shoot myself instead.
Anyway, long story short - I found two examples, started a bidding war between the two dealers that had them, and finally settled on one for $9000 (Under $10k out the door).
-2000 Altima GXE
-Alloy wheel/Sport suspension pkg.
-Premium audio pkg. (cd + tape)
-Emerald metalic paint
-Nissan Certified
-40,000 miles
The original asking price on this car was $11,995... so I think I got a fair turn. It had sat on the dealer's lot for some time, so they were VERY negotiable.
I spent about a month researching cars to find out what make/model I wanted, and about two weeks searching/negotiating, so I certainly worked for my deal. Always walk away at LEAST once!
I have a rough trade-in, a '91 Bmw 525i with a ton of miles. $1353 is the listed trade-in value.
The first out the door price was for an '03 2.5 with nothing but A/C: $18,487.
The second out-the-door price was for the '03 2.5s w/convenience package, sidesill & splash guards, 5 pc floor carpet and trunk mat, and microfilter: $20,500 The salesman suggested that the convenience plus (sunroof) on the above car would be: $21,500.
These include my trade-in, are on new cars, and out-the-door meaning me waving goodbye as I drive off the lot.
Thank you for any advice you may have.....
