2008 altima 2.5 cvt
SL package
Connection package
splash guards
mats
kick plates
emergency aid package
msrp was $26,775. invoice was $24,850
got it finally for 23,995 + tax titles tags doc fee etc totalling to 25,600 with 2.9% financing, 0 down and no payments for 90 days..
thats around 850 below invoice.. which i thought was pretty decent for a one loaded like this.
I was just in the dealership near my house and I was able to talk them down to $23,500 OTD for a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5S 4Cyl CVT with SL Package. It was the Sonoma Sunset with black leather interior. Can you tell me if this is a good deal?
Thanks,

I agree that some of the other deals are crazy, but yours isn't bad.
car value: 22500
tax:1361
TTL:207
rebate:-1000
College grad rebate:-500
discount:-500
OTD:22568
I know I could get better deal if I insist, but well, I was sick of fighting with dealers
21800 OTD
Tax was 1800 fees were about 170 or so. If you haven't bought your car yet now is the best times to get them to come down on thier prices. Usually the slowest month. I used info from car buying tips .com and let several dealers compete. It is AMAZING the amount they came down to on this vehilce compare to when I first started talking to them.
Thanks,

1) Contact internet sales reps at multiple dealers around the area and try to get the best deal.
2) Walk in to a dealer near closing.
I plan on putting nearly $10,000 down, and it may or may not include a trade-in worth $2000 on Kelly Blue Book. I graduated from college 2 1/2 years ago, so I maybe qualify for the $500?
Unfortunately, there is only one Nissan dealership here in Fort Wayne.
Thanks
just my .02.
I'll buy your 16"s (alloy or steel) if you live in the Seattle or Portland area.
We bought a 2008 2.5s and love it.
MSRP is 28,970.
Invoice is 26,769
Best deal is 26, 869
We are pretty specific in wanting blond leather interior and a black, jade or white car. Our first stop, they found what we wanted 150 miles away, the next closest is 400 miles away.
Their offer $Invoice + 5% = 28107 + delivery of $300.
They wouldn't budge so I called around and found other dealers with other colors that we don't want for far less. Finally got a few places to agree to sell the same car we really want (black) for $100 over invoice, but others slightly below invoice for colors we do not want..
Should I expect to pay invoice or slightly more to get the exact hard to find car? I confirmed this car is hard to find as they all say they found it at the same location in the middle of the state...and there is only 1.
We are being told by all the dealers that the 2.9 interest rate ends TOMORROW! So we are in a bit of a pickle.
I figured we would get a better deal as the bigger cars aren't going to be selling as well with futures stating that gas will be $4 / gallon this summer, especially a loaded car whereas the base with some options can easily be $7k less...guess I'm wrong?
Any help I can get would be great, I'm in the PA area..
Just received another call on this purchase from a local dealer. I was told that if I were serious, I would have not let $500 stand in the way of the purchase. Obviously this salesgroup is lacking in two abilities.
1. Math. The difference from their price and my requested price is over $1k.
2. Customer Relations. This won't make me want to buy from them. This is the same group that was flabbergasted that I purchased my truck from another dealer down the road (the same one that gave me $100 over invoice on the one we want). They assured me that they would BLOW THEIR DEAL AWAY then come back with taunts and laughter in regards to my stated best deal. And they wonder why I bought my truck elsewhere and obviously, my new $30k car too!
By the end of next year, I will have purchased over $100k in vehicles - and this company is wondering why they are slumping in sales and profits. Wouldn't you think that a person is serious when the pull up to your company to give them a shot on a another new vehicle in another vehicle that they had a chance to bid on?
Geesh. The games are getting crazy, but some of these managers are even crazier. Maybe they prefer seeing their lot littered with older cars...oh well.
I guess I'll wait until I get the deal I want. I'm going to be pushing for $1k under invoice now.
Well, the original owner paid 28K that was probably w/ all taxes and fees. A base 3.5SE w/ Sport- invoice is 24.6K. So, 20.7K for a car w/ 2800 miles (w/o any paint jobs :P ) is very good IMO (Assuming that you can get a new car at invoice - incentive).
Then I would see what a year old model is going for..
Then I would be sure to run a title search and ensure that the title on that car is clean. IE: it wasn't wrecked or damaged in any way. Ask them about this, because although they must declare this at the time of selling, the sales dept just has to say that their parts or body shop did not tell them and it was a miscommunication on their part...OPPSY.
I'm told that 1 out of 5 Nissan coming off the truck are damaged in some way. This is from two managers of two garages. They explained to me that it would be better to get one off the lot or from another dealer brought in rather than to wait for a car for 6-8 weeks and expect it to be perfect then be disappointed and po'd at the dealer.
Really what did you trade?

2008 Altima 2.5 SL
SL Package
Technology Package
Connection Package
Aluminum Kick Plates
Emergency Aid Package
Floor Mats
Moonroof Wind Deflector
Rear Spoiler
Fog Lights
Splash Guards
$27,125 before rebate
$26,125 after Rebate AND 3.9% financing
I don't know the holdback etc.....but this is definitely under the Edmunds Invoice.
2008 Altima 3.5 SE + mat + kick plate + splash guard
bought at $23500 + tax + registration + $55 doc fee.
$23500 is nearly $200 below the invoice.
Then we applied the $1000 cash rebate and $500 cash rebate for graduate.
OTD is close to $24000.
We got a high finance rate at about 7% 5 years. Does anyone know how to make prepayment? I don't want to have too much debt at such a high finance rate. Thanks.
Remember that you are only saving around $3000 over the cost of a new one if you decide to go with the used vehicle.
Now, if the car was $19,500 it'd be a different story, but even then I'd be tempted by the brand new Altimas...
Of course, that price is before any and all rebates.
I am getting a tad under $22K quotes for a 2.5SL Automatic with Splash Guards, Kick Plates, & Mats...sound about right with 1K incentive?
Also, I am being told I must take ownership by end of Presidents Day. Can I assume this is BS and deal will be the same end of month which should be really slow.
Thanks
$22K sounds about right.. I don't know about the Presidents Day thing, though. I'm sure they get a bonus for closing x number of deals before Presidents Day.
The incentives don't end until March 3, but see if you can knock off a few hundred bucks more if you promise to take delivery by Presidents Day. If they won't budge on price, you might want to wait until the end of February.
2008 Altima Coupe 2.5 with CVT with Premium Package with kick plates, mats and tinted windows
5.49% over 60 months from dealer in addition to $9000 for trade in of 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited with SunRoof and Chrome Wheels with 67k in good condition
Seem like a good deal??
I got a black Altima 2008 2.5 S, zero miles, power windows, did not want any of the packages so it has the normal rims and lights. I took a lease and these are the terms.
24 months @ $150/month and got them to put in free oil changes and tire rotations for the length of the lease. residual value is $15,000. I also have the option to extend the lease with no penalty at the end of 2 years for the same amount.
I haven't done the tags yet so have the dealers tag for a month and have to do the taxes at the county office. What do you guys think? Thanks.
I probably would have gone w/ the 3.9 APR/$1000 combo offer, but thats just me..
Other than that, it seems like a decent deal.
I bought a Black 08 Altima 2.5 S w Convenience Package + floor mats and spash guards in NJ for 21,625 OTD - Bloomfield dealer. Breakdown:
Base price 20877
1748 Tax (NY sales tax)
R/T Fee 200
Doc Fee 299
-1500 rebate.
Any thoughts?
Happy Motoring- I find the Altima (even in base sedan form) quite entertaining to drive.
