I got a 2006 2.5S Manual Altima (standard package without any special). It has carpets and splashguards but no ABS, or traction control, etc.
The dealer gave me the invoice price $19800, minus the $2000-rebate. We got another $800 discount after negotiation.
Invoice: $19800
- $2000 (rebate)
- $800
- $2000 (97' Ford Taurus trade-in value)
+ $400 (destination fee)
final price: $15400 plus taxes, titles, etc. Made down payment of $3000 and financed $12500 with the APR of 5.7% for 60 months.
What a bad deal I've made :mad: :mad:

Waiting from some online quotes to comeback dealers and would like to see how others faired in the Dallas/Ft Worth area with Nissan's National Year End Sales Event and see if there are known rebates published or hidden. Thanks in advance!
"As our Internet Guest, you've saved us time and advertising money, please accept this instant savings for up to *$3000*.
* = Up to $3000 dollars discount on select new Nissan models. Offer applies to purchase of a new Nissan vehicle only." So I guess this addresses the advertising money question!
Also seeing the following advertisement for the National Year End Sales Event for the 2006 Altima 2.5 S with the special edition package:

$3000 Off sound pretty good on the brand new model, although, you should be asking the dealer a different question. I suggest that you actually e-mail at least 2 or 3 dealers /internet managers and ask for a quote on the car with the package that you are interested in. Make sure you indicate the specific options and that you receive a quote on the car with those specific options.
Lets say you`ve contacted 3 dealers, each one of them will most likely get back to you without a quote at first, you will then need to e-mail them again and ask for a price again. Once you get the price from all three dealers, you just e-mail the quote of one dealer to another and they will most likely get back to you with a better offer.
I`ve done it in the past a few times, they never want to loose a sale, the want your business! Internet specialists generally are willing to go lower on the price then a regular salesperson. I don't think you need to negotiate anything at all once you are at the dealer, by that time you should already have an e-mail printed with the final price. But what you need to think about ahead of time, are the minor add-ons, like in my case they were the door and splash guards plus the wheel locks, they ran me an extra 200 bucks. I could’ve knocked the 200 bucks off easily by just standing up and walking away, I was just too tired of dealing with it, so 200 bucks wasn't that much more to pay on the loan over the period of 5 years. I did also purchase extended Gold Nissan warranty up to 100,000 miles and an extra GAP insurance. I really didn't have to do it, just wanted a little piece of mind. I wrecked my Civic before purchasing the Altima and Allstate insurance company had ripped me off, so I decided to spend a little more money and stay kinda worry free. I drive a lot 25,000 miles a year or so. Warranty will be good to have with my high mileage driving. One more thing for you to consider, is, that prices will drop even lower in January of 2007, if you can wait just a little bit longer you will get a slightly better deal then.
Thank you for reading my post and good luck.
Thank you so much for all the advice! 1st time doing the internet quotes and thought I should be doing more to insure the dealers get my business! So far I've gotten the congratulatory "Thank you for contacting us" email. I don't have a problem waiting until after the new year for more deals.
I did revisit the McKinney dealership today and noticed that there are two stickers showing once originally from the factory and then the dealer optional sticker, so I see what you mean about the dealer add on's.
What I don't understand is what is EPP? The dealer add on sticker has this for almost $1000!
Also took note of how many 2007's were on the lot with color and features I wanted. I think I read not having many of them on the lot didn't work in my favor.
Again, I appreciate all this great knowledge you guys are sharing. Makes the process a lot less unnerving.
I also did as you stated requesting email quotes addressed to the internet manager/fleet manager of three dealerships asking for best quotes available on the specific options I needed. Funny how they all responded to the original request guaranteeing "no haggle nor hassle", but they want you to come in to speak with them. I guess everyone is trying to get you in to add on the extras. Let the emails begins!
A package of fairly useless items such as paint sealant, interior Scotchgard, etc, etc.. that might have a total value of about $100..
Just put it under the column of Additional Dealer Profit.

Also, I was told that if we financed it, we would lose the 2000 rebate, so you did ok, as that was 2000 less than I could have done financing it, but 5.7% seems awfully high. I was being quoted 1-2%.
Found I qualify for the Nissan/Infiniti Vehicle Purchase Program through my company and here's today's winning quote (so far anyway) on a 2007 Altima 2.5 S with 2.5 SL Package with the following options:
Winter Frost Exterior
Charcoal Leather Interior
SL Package
• Xtronic CVT with manual mode
• 16" Aluminum-alloy wheels
• Automatic on/off headlights
• Power sliding glass sunroof with tilt feature
• Leather-appointed seats and door trim

Fog Lights

TOTAL OUT THE DOOR INCLUDING TTL is $25,217!
This became the baseline for all others to follow today and so far, noone has come close. Extending my quotes out to further dealers and my phone has been ringing all day.
Will let everyone know the final result! Also thinking that if prices are this good now, should definitely get better once there market is more saturated. Again, thanks for all the advice!
What is the best deal for a NEW altima 2006 2.5S w/A transmittion car ?.

Did the total transaction via online quotes and never had to speak with a single salesman until I finally agreed to the deal. North Texas Nissan definitely is good at their word on making a good deal in my opinion!
Thank you all for the excellent information you provide, you made this a extremely pleasant experience!
Extremely happy with the car's performance, interior is very comfortable for family of four!

looking to purchase a new 07 altima, which I love what is best the bottom line price to expect from a dealer? I also have a friends and family nissan discount. What is that worth? Comparing the altima to the Acura tsx. Much smaller car but the resale value is a lot higher. Any thoughts
Thanks viv3
PLease replmy ASAP.

This is at Nissan of Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska.
I went to buy one and since I am quite picky and wanted the brilliant silver 3.5 with the SL package, but they could not find one. I ended up ordering one and pre-signing the paperwork. Not even sure when it's to arrive but I wait impatiently.
I got it for 30K Supposedly around 300 over invoice price but we all know dealers can doctor invoice prices. I did some research but I could not find actual invoice price on this model anywhere.

I'd wait to look at the hybrid, but at a 15 to 20 percent premium, the payback period is way too long for me.

The terms were 12k miles a year, 42 months for $299.62.
While doing the paperwork with the finance guy I extend the warranty from the 36k/36 months to the full 42 months and added roadside assistance and free towing to a Nissan dealership, along with 100% free rental car when I am without my car for an extra $3.47 a month. I don't have AAA, so I though why not and in the past 4 years I have had to pay for a tow truck 3x.
This car is SICK, it is by far the best car for the money even when you just stay at the base 2.5S trim level. Toyota Camry and Honda Accord don't hold a candle to this. I think I got a good deal, I hope I did, but I don't care right now as am so pumped I got this amazing car. What do you think of my deal? Did I do good or maybe I could have done a little better?
Yesterday I bought an Altima 2006 special edition for 17,055 OTD. Is this a good price ?.
Thanks

Wow that sound like a great deal. Can you give me the break up of the cost, which dealer. I am trying to negotiate on one and dont seem to be getting anywhere close
SL package : 3501
ABS : 260
mats : 127
splash guard : 102
Freight charge :615
dealer profit : 408
sub total : 24,000
tax : 2182.41
title/regis etc.. : 150.50
vin etch : 249
extended service contract : 705.02
extended maintenance contract : 910 (good job you guys )
Question!
Can I get refund for those extended things? Even though they said I can get free engine oil change for 5 years, it seems too expensive.
Thanks
You likely can't get out of the VIN etch, as they actually put work into that (even if it is only worth $30). But, the service contract (warranty?) and maintenance contract likely have cancellation provisions...
The sooner you cancel, the more money you save.. If you've only had the car for one day, they might re-do your paperwork and save you the trouble of doing an official cancellation..
The extended warranty may not be a rip-off, but I wouldn't recommend it. Paying for maintenance in advance on a Nissan? That can't be a good deal.
One point: If you've financed these extras, and you have to jump through the official hoops to cancel them, then you probably won't get a check back. If their is a lien on your vehicle, any refund will be sent to the bank to reduce the loan amount on your vehicle. (which still benefits you).
Good luck,

SOund about right?
30K after tax and title.
by the way, ororahime, you can cancel some of the extras you bought, but most have a 30 day cancellation policy so read them carefully and cancel quickly.
I got the ext warranty myself and some dent protection crap.. they discounted ext warranty for getting them both but I am still cancelling the second one and get full refund and keep ext warranty.
That button start and intelligent key are sooo cool!!
