I have a TRADE IN as well and it seems like they are low balling that.
I actually walked away... said I would think on it... still would like some advice.
Thanks!

Cost of doing business... lol. Good one.
Your quote might have been just the cash price. Then add tax and all the (real or unreal) fees and quickly you look at a totally different number.
Ask for OTD and compare different dealers and options.
Versa HB SL CVT
Premium package
Floor mats
Aluminium kick plate
(also came with wheel locks, nitrogen and window etching, whatever)
$16,200 OTD here in VA with our 3% sales tax. Price includes $1250 rebate + $500 presidents day cash back
Seemed like a fair deal, my wife really likes the car. For anyone in the Virginia Beach area, Hall & Charles Barker Nissan will both sell at this price. Good luck
$13,400 including tax and title doesn't sound too bad, although I haven't bought since I got mine in 2007 for $13,675 PLUS tax & title
23 Civic Type-R / 22 MDX Type-S / 21 Tesla Y LR / 03 Montero Ltd
only options: AC + ABS
black
quoted price: $11,460 (inc dest)
I added a 7 year 70k warranty: $1400 (which I slightly regret, i may add, since the car seems very good quality over all)
With ca tax, doc fee, gap insurance, dmv, title etc: $15000
Down: 1500
APR: 6.99% - 60 month loan.
Total amount, inc cost of financing: 17580.
The car is awesome overall - very, very smart indeed, nippy/fast around town, but engine is geared low (hence the nippiness) so it revs high on freeway - 4k rpm for 80mph - sounds like you're in a washing machine, and with no stereo included, that gets boring.
backseat leg room is inexplicably huge - really - even for two 6'6" men sitting tandem its huge. The inside materials are surprisingly good - cheap cars usually smell like dollar stores, but this one is great. i have no rattles or anything yet.
I don't have the remote locks, and i already dread having to unlock the passenger side rear door - you have to open the driver door (only that one has keyhole) and reach on through. if you have kids, pay extra for the locks. i have a sienna for the wide and kids
only downer is that it looks extremely ugly/weird from the very front (even for a European who's owned Citroens in the past), but from any other angle is very nice, IMO. A league above the accent, rio, aveo, etc. But then personally i find the Fit utterly repulsive, so ignore my subjective view on the aesthetics - you're not buying a 11k car to impress the ladies, after all.
I had two problems: first, the passenger side brake rotor dust shield was touching the rotor, so there was a constant scraping noise. I pulled the wheel off, found the issue and bent it a half inch back by hand, now its fine. Dunno how that ever got through quality control, though. And second the check engine light came on for the first 300 miles. It has gone off now, but if it comes on again I'm going straight to dealer. Its only the evaporative emissions control system - the gas fumes in the gas tank are possibly venting to atmosphere (more likely the sensor is broken) - so its not fatal anyway. (but still not acceptable in a new car, IMO)
But really, the value for money is out of this world. As long as you can live without the power accessories, this is definitely the car to buy.

1.8S Hatchback, Auto
Power Plus Pkg, Splash Guards, Aluminum Kickplates
Sticker - 16,645
OTD - 13,432.21 all inclusive @ 7%
No other Nissan dealer in Atlanta came close.
Hopefully nothing goes wrong with it, I think they're struggling to compete with all the new cars coming out like the focus, fit, etc.
Dan
New 2011 Versa 1.8S HB
4sp auto
splash guards
5 piece floor/trunk set
power plus pkg
VDC pkg
I was in and out of dealer in an hour and a half - no trade, cash.
$14248 OTD
I am in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area.
I am in the market for this same setup, same sticker price of 16,645.
How did you get it down so low?
So far, I have
16,645 MSRP
15,933 Internet Price
-1,000 Trade
=
14,933 + T,T,F (8%), which would put me at around 16,208
My dealer is offering 0% for 60 months or $1,500 cashback. I will most likely go with the low apr.
Does this OTD price include a cashback offer like the above?
I bought this car from a dealer more than 100 miles away so I dealt only with their internet sales dept by email.
They gave me a firm itemized quote and even the VIN number of the car so I could look it up in their inventory through the internet. By the time I got up there the car was all prepped with a full tank of gas. All that was left was a short test drive and paper work.
I think the real question is not how did I get the price down but how did the dealer get the price down.
Here's the numbers taken off of my purchase agreement - the only legal binding agreement between the dealer and the buyer in my state:
MSRP ("STICKER PRICE") 16885
BASE PRICE OF VEHICLE INCLUDING FREIGHT 14748
TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE 14748
REBATE -1500
TOTAL TAXABLE SALE PRICE 13248
SALES TAX 861.12
DOCUMENT FEE 75.00
TOTAL LICENSE FEES 63,88
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE ON DELIVERY $14248
If you can make sense of the these numbers you are a better man than me.
This OTD price was $1440 less than the best I could negotiate with my local Nissan dealer so it does pay to look around.
A few thoughts:
This was the largest Nissan dealer in my state. They had about 18 Versas on the lot and for them it was a clean cash-no trade deal and maybe they had a cash flow problem.
Also better buy quick they are closing down the plants in Japan and that can't mean anything other than higher prices.
Good Luck
Paid 13700 OTD. down payment 3700 and got remaining financed @ 3.75%
in CA the ttl is about 1300-1400 dollar for this price so dealer actually got close to 12400 dollars, I am sure it is a very good deal but still please do let me know if someone else was able to get a similar deal in bay area?
I dealt with a few Nissan dealers in the PA/NJ area, and tried to get the best deal. I ended up with:
$16,645 MSRP
$13,299 OOD (including 8%). No money down and 0.9%
Free lifetime Pa State Inspection
Free 1 Year of Maintance
Thanks
Appreciate you feedback and suggestion.
Regards,
DC
Can you please tell which dealer you got in Sunnyvale ? So essentiall 12500 (1.8S + Plus Package) + TTL seems like a good deal.
I will check with the few dealers over here if they can get it to this close..
Thanks,

This Saturday I again went to the same dealer with my friend who wants to buy the same Versa, dealership has changed and so are all the people who worked there when I had bought it. My friend couldn't get the same deal, the final price offered to him was $15400 OTD.

I am planning on going to see a local Nissan dealer in the Tampa Bay area. The quoted me for a Nissan Versa 1.6 S CVT (2012) for $13825.
My parents paid $17,500 for 2011 Versa with $2000 down. They live in the Philadelphia area.
I did a True Market Value price for the area Tampa Bay (where I live) and they said : $13404.
I am a female and I won't be taking anyone with me. Any advice on how to handle and negotiate would be helpful.
I know the price range that I am looking for and I am willing to walk out as I refuse to make myself car poor due to high payments.
I am planning on calling the dealer within the next few hours. Any help would be appreciated.
