I think you could get that deal from almost any dealer in the country with minimal effort - as long as they had the specfic car on their lot.
You can probably get them lower if you are willing to negotiate. How low they can go depends on how many cars they have on their lot and what their sales goals look like.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
I purchased a 2.5SL with mats and mud guards for $23903.95 out the door including everything. I'm in NC. Sticker was 25,970...got the car for 24065 (invoice) + fees and tax less the 1250 rebate = 23903.95
Good luck
mrbrown1, you probably can knock another $100-$200 off that price. I got my 2.5SL w/ convenience pkg. for $24,665 "out the door", and based on what others have said, it wasn't the best deal posted. See if you can negotiate a little more out of them.
Did you mean Invoice - all rebates - holdback?
ill be trying for that thursday ill let yall know what i get."
So, what happened? What price did you get?
I just picked up a 2008 2.5 with SL package, mats, and splash guard for $22,900 plus tax and registration. I applied the $1,000 rebate which brought it down to $21,900 plus tax and registration. I think the $22,900 is about 1,000 below invoice.
Did you negotiate over the internet/phone or at the dealership? I have tried both internet and phone, maybe I should just walk into a dealership and try there..
I think it was about $400 below dealer cost (which is invoice minus holdback) at the time.. It was right at the end of the Year End Event, and I guess they were just 1 car short of a quota because on Dec. 31 they said they couldn't do the deal but then on Jan. 2 they called asking me if they could come to "my price", would I buy it, and well, I ended up buying it.
At the time, it was a great deal, but the rebates have gotten better recently.
For me personally, e-mail is the best method. I would not just walk into a dealership.
Additionally, how do I know the holdback fee. The dealer says he is giving me a great deal since its 500 below the Invoice. How do I ask him to reduce the holdback fee.
I will keep everyone posted on how I do.
Watch out for dealer documentary fees; they can vary widely from dealer to dealer.
I'd shop around at a few other dealers; this one seems to be trying to stiff you.
Is this a good deal, or do you think that i can get it down lower, and if so how much lower?
Thanks in Advance
Need some advice. The dealer has a demo car with 6200 miles on it. How much is a reasonable price to reduce for this car. The price being offered for a new car is 23k.
I'd knock off at least $3000 if not $4000 to make it worth your while; otherwise, just go for the brand new one. 6200 miles is a lot for a demo; I'd consider the car "used" and treat it as such.
But to the person who's being offered the car for $23,700, see my note above in regards to a similar deal offered to another poster.
I am leaning towards the TL at this time ..... will keep you all posted. Thanks for your help.

Additionally, any insight/speculation on what might be the rebates after June 30. Is it worthwhile to hurry up and buy or waiting for 4th July offers ?
What abt the 2009 models ? Any clue on when they might be coming out ? I read somewhere S + Convenience package is going to become a standard in 2009.
Yeah.. $4000 is a good call.. I don't understand why there's a dearth of SL models right now; when I looked, there seemed to be plenty of SL models to go around, and a dearth of S models with the Convenience Package.
I don't know if Convenience will become standard; a lot of people skip that option and fleets like to buy the base model.. Maybe some components of Convenience will become standard, but probably not all of them...
Thanks,
Allen
I know the S is supposed to be the most popular model, and I suspect it is, but only because the S model is a rental fleet special.
In retrospect, I probably should have bought an SL instead of an S with Convenience.. You just seem to get so much more for the price difference between S and SL.. (I think at one point SLs were in the $22,500 range, which meant it was only about a $2000 jump for me)
I'm interested in seeing how the S with Convenience Plus Package models are doing.. Somewhere in between S and SL...
If anyone has any tips on leasing, I would greatly appreciate it! Baby on the way and need to find that second car pronto!
(2) What is the best price you got for a 2.5 S with or without the SL package in the Houston area? I qualify for Nissan's business associate's D-plan. I heard many have got better deals than the D-plan on Altima right now.
D PLAN
* Dealer invoice
* Minus VPP discount (Nissan 2.87% : Infiniti 1.65%)
* Plus dealer added options, Security Plus, Infiniti Extended Protection Plan,etc.
* Plus 2.5% delivery fee on dealer invoice after VPP discount has been subtracted
* Plus destination and handling charge
* Minus applicable incentives
* Equals participant's purchase price
Good luck. Nissan offered a bigger rebate for the Memorial Day holiday. Monday being the last day of the month would be the time to negotiate and deal, but you might want to consider they would be offering more for a July 4th holiday weekend rebate.
$320 a month sounds extremely high; I don't know how to calculate a lease, but an extra $121 a month to jump from the base S to the SL means a jump of about $3600-$3700 on the purchase price, when the difference should really be in the $2500 range, and probably not exceeding a $3000 difference. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong; I'm a bit fuzzy on pricing since I haven't been in the market since January) If you're really going to spend $320 to lease a 4 cylinder Altima, Acura has a lease special of $329/month on the base TSX, which to me just seems to be a better deal...
V6 models should be headed to clearance pretty quickly; I'm sure demand for those models has tanked in light of gasoline prices. (although the V6 still gets pretty decent mileage)
For the VPP person, I think you should be able to negotiate a price below VPP. Altimas are pretty much going for below invoice right now (although the only exception seems to be the suddenly hard to find 2.5SL, but even those shouldn't be selling for more than a few hundred over invoice)
Anyone know anything about the costco auto program? Worth checking into?
Theoretically, if my numbers are correct, you should be able to get a 2.5S with the SL package for in the low $22K's.
Your best bet is to research the Hell of prices on the car you want, take the info with you to the dealer, and be firm that you want that deal or you are going to drive how ever many miles away that the other dealer is. I'm pretty sure all dealers pay roughly the same prices for their cars so if one dealer can offer a hot price, they all should be able to. Like I said, my dealer balked, walked back to the tower, and came back in about 5 minutes with the offer. It was quick and easy. Probably could have worked down a few more hundred if I was in the mood, but I was able to get a good deal without needing to endure the stressful haggling process.
FYI - the 2 dealers in Michigan with the hot ads were "Sterling Heights Nissan" and "Jeffrey Nissan" in Roseville.
I used the $1250 rebate and the dealer gave another $2300 or so. Basically, you should be able to get around $3500+ off MSRP if the rebate is still available.
