2008 Nissan Versa S, Power Package, 4-speed automatic
No plans to purchase until July though, and I'm in negotiations with another dealer. I've asked for $400 under with 1.9%, or comparable. It looks like (my parents) want an SL since they want the armrest, but I assume the deals will be the same. CVT and ABS being the only options.
They were offering a further $500 discount if you were a recent college graduate. I couldn't qualify as I've been out of college for 10 years. The car as advertized in the local newspaper was $12,499 (with college discount) with all the above accessories except the splash guards and mat set. They just threw them in for free as they were already on the car.
Great little car for city and expressway usage. I'm 100% pleased with it.
I just took home a 1.8 SL HB Auto CVT + 5 mat.
Price: 12,400 (due to my mistake, I could not bring it to 12,200)
Tax
Tiltle
Fee: 200
Delivery: 625
------
OTD price for me is 14225
I guess it is a reasonalbe deal.
I go to the local accessary and put the leather on it. cost is 1195 including labor.
By the way, there are 2000 rebate you we can count on.
500 graduate
1000 normal rebate
500 memorial day.
I can also by a 08 S auto HB with power package, cruise control mat, splash for 12150 + Tax Tille + fee(above) + deilvery (625)
I think the SL is a better deal so I pick it.
Thank for a nice forum.

Versa SL at $12400 +TTL is a very good deal, the memorial day special only brings the Versa S down to 11999 +TTL
Could you list the dealer where you get the Versa SL from? Or City?
Thanks,

Just bought a Versa:
Versa S Hatchback
Automatic
Power Package
Cruise
Mats
ABS
Splash Guards
Invoice: $14,765
Paid: $14400
Cash Rebate: - $500 (Memorial Day Weekend Sale)
= $13900
= - $1000 rebate or 1.9% financing
= $12900
= opted for 1.9% financing (better deal)
= $13900
= tax (6.75%)
=$250 doc fee
= $25.50 license fee
= $15,100 OTD
I think it's a great deal. $365 under dealer invoice. I was able to get the deal using Edmunds dealer quotes. I received "dealer invoice" price quotes from two separate dealers (don't buy over dealer invoice, seems to be the norm deal right now). I saved an additional $288 under dealer invoice when I had a third dealer say they will beat any deal and won't lose a car sale due to price.
This was all internet negotiating. Nothing face to face. Quoted me in an email $12,900 for same equipped Versa with dealer invoice being $13,188. Turns out they didn't have the identical car on the lot (of course). I relented on the color to Silver instead of preferred Blue Onyx and gained ABS instead of aluminum kick guards. Car was $13265 dealer invoice minus rebates. Got it for the same $12,900 quote even though dealer invoice was a little higher due to the ABS. = $365 under invoice.
$15,100 OTD

Here's what happened. I came into the dealership and said,"I want a Versa HB SL for $16500 OTD." I got what I wanted so I can't really complain. This is during the Memorial Holiday Sale. So far, I love the car. It's onyx blue with beige interior. It had about 16 miles on the odometer. Feels very upscale for an "econo-class" car. I chose the Versa after test driving three different versions (M,A,Sports Auto with paddle shifter) of the Honda Fit. I found the Fit nimble, but has too much of an "econo-car" feel to it. Plus the CVT and the Inteligent Key a couple of the many awesome "upscale" things that I appreciate every time I drive my Versa.
They got an offer of Invoice minus $200, and 1.9%. Is this a fair deal?
Also, any idea on how much less invoice is versus the sticker? I can't find invoice prices on Edmunds.com (it says N/A).

They really aren't in too much of a hurry, but were waiting for one thing to be paid off and for their income tax refund to come, both of which should be accomplished around independence day. So, the time is closing in, they've just been doing a lot of shopping and figuring out the best car for their needs. So far, they've got it narrowed tightly. It'll likely be a Versa SL, or a Civic LX (they like their '07 Civic).
As far invoice goes, (to a previous poster), I found it on Consumer Guide and it appeared to be around $550 less than sticker - very little markup if that's true.
My guess would be, probably not.

The hills around here aren't terrible, but they sure don't help mileage. We're really not a mountainous metro area, but it certainly is a hilly one. My 2.4L 4-cyl accelerates without a problem up them just fine, although my old 2.2L Accord has to work at things a lot harder (it is down roughly 40 horses on the 2.4L).
I was going to try Sansone but Lynnes has a bunch and others that have a lot of leftovers. I have an 05 Subaru Legacy GT that I'm trying to get rid of either thru trade in or sell so I am just weighing options. If I can get a deal too good to pass up I'll consider it.
I am just curious, does anyone know the invoice and cost of a base SL model? I just want to know what I should be offering.
I would double check Edmunds to make sure there is no "Manufacturer to Dealer" incentive. Otherwise, I think it is a good price.
Sales person at Lynnes also did not know anything about Versa and the incentives Nissan is offering.
Versa HB SL is not available at most places in N' NJ.
Also did anyone use those pay sites to get more detailed info about costs of this car? I just wan tto konw the costs of the pacages and such before making these ridiculously low to reasonable offers to them.:-P
Does the Versa have the CVT option also? Bet that would make it a better driver as the 1.8 wasn't happy on my drive. Very disappointing.

It comes on the Versa SL. The cheap-o S model has the 4-speed.

If it was an SL Hatch, it was either a 6MT or CVT. I can't say for sure, but I think the Sedan is the same way.
The Sandman
what prices have you been able to negotiate your car? Best deal so far is a loaded $19,300 MSRP car for $18,400 out the door. This includes 1500 cash/grad rebate.
Anyone get a better deal? Most palces only has loaded cars.
dealer invoice: $14,900
paid: 14,600
got a free garmin nuvi 750 GPS to buy the same day
cash rebate for recent grad: -500
=14,100
[got the 1.9% APY instead of 1000 cash back]
+ 881.25 tax (6.25)
+ 211 doc and license and other fees
= 15,192.66 OTD
Price Paid: 15,800 (around $200 below invoice) + TTL etc.
= $17,595 - $1,500 (rebate/grad cash) = $16,095 OTD
Good price??
