Yes the fees are laughable but what matters is the bottom line and they were by far the best OTD price in Florida on the three remaining 6-speeds Sentras.
Also neglected to mention that my dealer provides 2 years of recommended service at no change and a 3rd party lifetime powertrain warranty(take that for what its worth if anything).

Can someone help and tell me if this is a good deal or I should wait?

If you use that program then you will notice that total discount of $3899 is applicable on Factory Invoice cost
There was no trade-in and no finance, full cash deal
I have an AMEX card (actually 2, one for business)... is this buying program free for AMEX cardholders?

Did I get a decent price? I was told MSRP was $18,450.00. Any info you can provide will be appreciated.
So you prefer 2k rebate rather than the %0 APR for 60 month?
I'd still love some input as to whether I got rooked, or this was a good price.
for $14, 795. Plus another $100. for washing/waxing/full tank of gas. Extra
fees include $12.50 tire tax, 8% sales tax and MV fees which are low in NY.
Hope this helps!
I bought new 2011 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S for $13350 (excluding sales tax) and includes floor mats, splash guards -out the door. Not sure if this is a good price??? Any comments.
Here in western NY I am seeing MSRP's of $18,450. for a Sentra 2.0 S or SR,
with the floor mats and splash guards...and being sold for $14,795. or $14,999.
Excluding sales tax, MV fees of course.
If your Sentra retailed for the same as here, you are getting a $5,100 discount
off of MSRP. And you asked if you got a good price?
Fill us in as to whom the dealer is and what state?
Thanks
Sentra wasn't my #1 choice, I preferred the Mazda3 and Civic LX *slightly* more than the Sentra, but with that kind of crazy deal (couldn't get below $15,700 for Mazda3, and $16,100 for the Civic), I couldn't pass it up. Drove it 150 miles so far, and it feels and drives solid, with great mileage. Just what I needed. As long as its reliability holds up over time (every car I've had went well over 100k miles without any major problems), I'll be ecstatic.
I owned an '85 Sentra wagon/5-door. Good car, great on gas, but it was a stripper model so it didn't have things like AC. Obviously too far back to use as a benchmark for current Nissan quality but unlike my Mazda ownership experience in the '90s it didn't leave a sour taste in my mouth.
My wife & I sat in the current Sentra at the Chicago Auto Show last week. I really liked the cabin layout in terms of having a good amount of head room (noticeably lacking in the Elantra & Cruze) and seat travel. I could sit in the back seat with good leg room, too. I wasn't thrilled with the design of things like the arm rests (too narrow & could be more rounded at the edges) and other parts of the cabin; they came across as a bit spartan for my tastes. Overall, my wife liked it so it'll be on her list to drive when she decides to replace her car.
Funny thing is, I've had 3 new Sentras in my life and all were leased, although I usually buy. They just were really good lease deals.
about $15,100 base price (from the $19,300 MSRP sticker)
about $500 tax (3.17% VA tax)
about $500 processing fee/delivery fee
about $100 for everything else (titling/registration)
-$1500 customer rebate
$14700 OTD price
Let me know if you want exact numbers but I paid for the car outright (no financing/leasing) and no trade-ins. I got the title the middle of April.
I tried getting the same deal for my uncle this month but between the dealer I bought it at and another dealer in our area, neither one could come close and the other dealer even said "You basically stole the vehicle". !
Again let me know if anyone wants the exact breakdown, I did the ones above based on memory (except the final price of course and the rebate). I also felt that the area that I'm from (Virginia suburbs of DC) are notorious for ripping people off.
I was comparing the Sentra to the Civic LX and the Corolla LE and thought the Sentra was by far the best for the deal I was getting!
Price (including freight, handling and delivery): 15,144.36
Processing fee for consumer services: 499.00
Title Tax: 469.30
Dealer's business license tax: 26.59
Online systems filing fee: 10.00
Registration Fee: 40.75
Title Fee: 10.00
Total delivered price: 16,200.00
Rebate: -1,500.00
Total: 14,700.00
I'm not sure why the title tax is coming out to 3.09% and not 3.17% but I was told it was 3.17 in VA, it might be because they didn't break down what the freight/handling/delivery charges were separate from the price. 469.30 is 3.17% of 14,804.42 which may then be the price excluding the freight, handling and delivery. Thanks and I hope you enjoy your new car as well.
generous rebates were halved when the calendar turned from March 31 to April
Fools Day. Buying any automobile in May or June is the height of the greed season for auto dealers. Demand is high and transaction prices are much closer
to retail prices during this period. If you can wait till July, or especially August,
you will see rebates get better with 2011 models being sold for discount. That is,
if you can wait that long. If you buy now, you could be 'raked over the coals.'

Nissan of North Olmsted hooked it up with the best price I received among 4 other dealers in the area.
I'm currently looking for the same car 2011 or 2012 Nissan Sentra SR for around the same price since she just recently graduated :-)
By July, the all-new 2013 Sentra might be out. Is that what you mean by waiting for July, or would you be looking for a close-out deal on a 2012?
The Sentra could still be a good deal even at $3000 off MSRP. But you might find a dealer willing to go near $17k. It takes some work, and maybe some luck.
When I set out to lease a Sentra 2.0S two years ago, I scouted around re deals in my area, found the best deal I could, contacted the Internet sales manager to make sure the deal was legit and they had cars in stock, then went to the closest dealer (which I know has very good service, I've leased two other Nissans from them) and told them what I'd found and asked if they could beat it. I was looking for a low payment with sign&drive. The sales rep hemmed and hawed, then I got a call from another dealer I had talked with earlier and we had a little chat re their best price--in front of the sales rep. I told the guy on the phone the best offer I'd had to date was $189/month sign&drive for 39 months (which was true). After we talked and he gave me a better offer, I told him I'd get back to him shortly, hung up, and told the sales rep in front of me that I could get $184/month sign and drive at the other dealer, for 39 months (again true), and I was going to head over there if he couldn't beat it. So he did--$179/mo, but I had to make the first payment. I hesitated on that, since I wanted 0 out of pocket, then he offered to toss in a Garmin nav system and a portable DVD player... both of which I could use. I said, "Deal!" and we shook on it.
Dealers hate to lose a sale... especially someone who is serious and will definitely buy/lease that day, but maybe not from them.
Dealer stated MSRP was 23150. Dealer started email negotation at 19000+TTL. Final price 18000+TTL. (19500 OTD in texas).
The MSRP on the car was $21780.
