BTW, 17,249 for the S? I think we might see 16Ks in a couple months?
Either way, I love this car and thats what is important. Everyone here is going to get a better deal that the last guy. Thats the way it always is!!!
I just Took the Altima for a ride around the Lakes Region, and thought I would "Fool" the Car by using the CVT Automatic in the Manual mode.
Right from the Start of my trip I put her in 6th gear the whole time. I've only got just over 200 miles on the car, and being in 6th gear, I never went over 2,000 RPM's and I got 37.4 MPG for the trip. And it's not even broken in. I'm really impressed!!!

But it sounds like i got some talking to do. I would love to know what the invoice price is. all i can find is the MSRP. were did you find the invoice on the convenience package. thats some good stuff
So, lets assume the price has gone up $300. So we're at $20,500.
But.. subtract $1000 if you're taking the 3.9% APR, $1250 if you're not. (btw, you'll save more in interest than $250, so I'd take the 3.9/$1000 combo) so you're at $19,500ish, $19,250 if you're a cash buyer.
And that was for a deal that I did in early January- the climate now is far better in favor of the buyer, so you shouldn't have to pay any MORE than $19,500 before taxes, title, and license plates.
Don't forget to ask for each dealer's doc fee when you get a quote as well; I had doc fees range from $0 (where I bought) up to $600 when I got quotes. Some of those dealers are sneaky!
Invoice on the Convenience Package is around $850, I believe. It's not a terribly expensive addition and well worth it- the power seat alone is probably worth the upgrade for me.
Good Luck!
Im looking at $19670
If i could get it for $19000 that would be grate
My 2008 2.5s CVT automatic. is Pebble Beach exterior, with Blonde on the interior. Splash Gaurds and Cloth mats front rear, and trunk.
The car was bought for my wife, But I love driving it, And my Summer car is a Solstice.
I just love the feel of the wheel. And for $17,615 how can you beat a Car like that with all the Toys.
Just a note, I hit 40 MPG during the trip, But the stop lights brought the MPG's down before I got home.
Now what Color is your Altima, or do you have one in the works?

Can you tell me the spicific details of your car with options. Which car dealership did you go to? Im looking for the sale 2.5 with SL package and my budget is about 21k. I live in CT as well.. So i would really appreciate you telling me the dealership that offered you this.
thanks J
I am going to be shopping for a new vehicle. I am going to get rid of my 2003 Lincoln Navigator. I am ready for a sedan again (fewer kids to lug around).
I love the look of the Altima. I test drove the 2.5 (wanting good fuel economy). I think I would like to get the 2.5 S with SL package. Also, looking for technology package since I had similiar in my Lincoln. Any idea what the pricing should be?
I see that most that have these add ons do so on the 3.5 model. I did not drive the 3.5 ... perhaps I should? I was just drawn to the great gas mileage of the 2.5 after having my 8 cyl guzzler for the past 5 years.
I just found this forum and love the input of experienced buyers and owners. Thanks ..... also, FYI .... I was thinking of Hybrid but cannot get here in Florida so that is not an option unfortunately.

I don't know if it will hurt the tranny, But when you go into manual mode at 10 mph, and RESET the economy button to zero, shift up to 6th and don't push the car hard you do get 37+ MPG. I used the cruise as much as I could at 40 MPH.
The car was with $1,750 rebates plus the dealer discounted his profit after I walked away 3 times.
The $17,615 price was before they added the $349.00 dealer prep cost, So the total cost before all the horrible Maine taxes was $17,964.

$21,615. i offered $21,000 out the door. the next day, i received an email from the internet director for $20,948. i'm surprised, not that it $52 less than my offering, also i get quick response. do you think it's a great price? or there a catch there.

I'd suggest you test drive both the four and six cylinders. I definitely felt that the four had plenty of power, but I found the engine noise significantly less and while I figured it cost be around 3 grand more for the engine and about 4-5 mpg, for me it was worth it. My hearing is a bit on the sensitive side, so it meant more to me, and I have to say I am truly enjoying the Bose sound system more than I would with the louder four. I treated myself, and although I bought it in March and with gas now over $4 a gallon, I still would go with the six. I have to believe Nissan could do a better sound soundproofing the four. Drive an Acura TSX and see how quiet that four is.
Since you ar net savvy(going by the fact that you are on this forum), you should be able to get it for that price
Simple math:
invoice should be 20k, 1K incentive now + Taxes= 20,500..Haggle it by a few since there are a couple of hundred miles on it
My 2 cents
I'd mail another dealer and ask him to beat this price
(thats for 2.5SL)
But I'd suggest that you take the connection package..with just SL mp3 wont play which I learnt the hard way..3 days after buying
The sales person said that mp3 works without connection and all he's say now is that he is sorry and he cant do much about it.For $1000 I'm stuck with my car that doesnt have MP3
I am in upstate NY (Albany) and was wondering what is a good price for the mentioned car before any rebates, etc.
Is below invoice possible? Any info is appreciated. Also, any great dealers within 100 miles who are known for low pricing?
Thanks,
Matty
Actually, I did drive an Acura TSX 2009 a few days after driving the 4 cylinder Altima. I wish I had posted and received this input before doing so. I just remember that the Acura was a bit smaller, but it was very plush inside. I had to accompany my friend for her TL's 36,000 mile service so while we were there I decided to test drive the TSX. Again, that salesman played the radio ..... I wonder why they all do that? Are they trying to drown out the sound of the vehicle? LOL ... who knows.
I just HATE car shopping and the 5 minute test drive you do with the salesman in the car with you really doesn't give you a chance to *try* the car.
Thanks,
...Laurie :shades:
Yes, you are correct about the connection package. As I understand it .... I would be required to purchase the connection package simply because I want the technology package. So, I have several add ons to the 2.5 Altima ... the SL upgrade, the connection package and the technology package.
I see a TMV price listed on Edmunds for the technology package $ 1,898
connection package $ 949
So, that would plunk about another $ 2,850.00 on top of that cost.
Funny, according to Edmunds the cost of the 2.5 Sedan is $ 20,127 for a TMV price.
Then, they say to add an additional $ 3,653.00 for SL package.
They are suggesting a total price of $ 26,627 for a good price to get the 2.5 SL Altima 4 door with those extras that I mentioned.
I have been doing a lot of internet reading today So - I would be paying almost $ 27,000 for a 4 cylinder Nissan Altima.
I guess I need to think about what other sedans I could get for that money. I want reliability .... that is why I thought of the Nissan.
I used to own an old Datsun B210 (ran forever); then I owned a Honda Accord (again ran like a clock). I bought a mini van (Mercury Villiager -which had the Nissan Quest Engine) and that was very reliable also. My Lincoln Navigator has been nothing but headaches .... always something .... I want to go back to the Nissan or Honda family. Oh, we currently have an Infiniti I 30 with 187,000 miles on it. Another dependable vehicle .... I am just wanting to try to own "quality" again.
Thanks again to you "experts" for your input. It really helps me!
,,,Laurie :shades:
the standard complaint with Altima is Nissan's annoying structure of options packages. I think with Accord or camry basic model you get features like power seats,windows,mp3 player..the same for Altima costs a lot
At $27k I'd buy a camry xle(I had a 2008 camry which had an accident ,so i bought my altima.. camry had better miles/gallon but altima ride feels better)
- The dealer's actual website?
- Nissan's corporate website for the dealer?
Sometimes when I check for a certain vehicle, the dealer's local website may show no availability, but I can find the vehicle on the lot - indicating the Nissan corporate website is more accurate.
Any shoppers or dealers/salesmen know?
You are correct, an MP3 player can be plugged into the AUX input of either the base of Bose radio.
1st time post ... but big time reader of Edmund's Forums.
I'm visiting Houston to help my baby sister to buy an Altima Coupe. I asked her to deal with the local dealerships via the internet to narrow down the playing field. On Friday, she got what seems as an exceptional deal ...
Altima Coupe 2.5S CVT (Fabric Interior)
+ Convenience Package
+ Moonroof
+ 3.9% Financing
+ about 80 miles on the car
All for $23000 out the door (inclusive of TTL & destination). With my approx.calculations ... this is about $1200 below invoice!! :surprise:
Can you all let me know if this can be real? I haven't seen similar deals on the forum.
Thanks!
You should be able to get SL for another $500 more(note that there is $1000 cash back to customers now)
Actual invoice - $1000 +Tax +TTL(ard $150) should be the price you should be looking at
One dealer quoted me @ $24,565 "out the door", w/ aluminum kick plates, first aid pkg, and sunroof wind deflector. However, this car had about 100 miles on it.
Another Dealer outside of Birmingham, AL quoted @ $24,645 "out the door". They wouldn't throw in anything additional. This car only had 11 miles on it.
We took the 2nd deal because it was far closer to where we lived and we knew the car hadn't been "abused". We were also trading in 2 cars and we payed cash for the difference. We were a little disappointed with the trade in on our cars, but we were trading in 2 Toyotas for a Nissan, so it didn't surprise me. We were able to negotiate about a $1000 increase in trade though, so that was nice. We also got a very healthy discount on an extended warranty.
The overall experience took about 2 hours. Dealer was Crown Nissan/Pontiac of Hoover, AL
I believe the incentives/package you are mentioning are for the Sedan.
Thanks
MSRP: $25,790
Price: $23,289 + 6% tax + license plates.
Working through the numbers it seems that the deal is MSRP minus $1250 and then the $1250 rebate for the cash purchase.
Is MSRP minus $1250 a good deal?
Thanks.
You are in a position to name your terms. I'd check out other dealerships. Ask to speak to the sales manager and ask if you can take a vehicle out for a test drive without a sales person. If they say no, say thanks and tell them you will try another dealership. If they insist, then tell them you don't want conversation and you want to take a route of your choosing. Dealerships are hurting and not selling cars unless it is one of a few popular models. They can't afford to just let you walk out. One of the Nissan dealerships that I considered offered me to take a new Altima home overnight to show my wife.
For what it is worth, I bought my 3.5SL without navigation for just under $25k at the end of March. This included the $1250 rebate. I'm in Pennsylvania. For the record, I got prices from three dealerships and the most expensive one wanted just over $2K more. It pays to shop around.
Best Wishes!
Negotiating on a 2.5 S CVT w/ convenience in Mass.
