A $2356 federal income deduction for the sales tax is worth about $600 to most buyers...
Still... a good deal..

Yeah depreciation is a killer when buying a '09 model in November '09, but I plan to hold on to this car for a while. Standard 100,000 mile battery/EV warranty is reassuring.
Although I didn't buy it there because of the distance, I recommend Marc Motors in Sanford, ME to anybody in New Hampshire, Maine or NE Massachusetts. They would have sold me an '09 NAH at an even more competitive price, and they are getting in 2010 NAHs.
2010 Altima Hybrid + convenience package + premium package + aluminum kick plates + wind deflector + floor mats
I am also offered lifetime power train warranty free + towing within 25 miles ... whatever that means.
26320 (after 2000 NAH rebate) + CA Tax@9.25% + doc fees (55.00) + tire fees (9.00)
Is this a good price? I tried but couldnt better price from other dealers? Not sure whether i am not trying hard enough...?
I didn't get any price that I liked with Costco. One of the problem that I had with Costco is that it wasn't used by many dealerships.
This is the end of the month/year and some dealership may have to meet some quotas. Best advice is call the dealerships in your area, and throw out some very low offer. They will probably refuse but some may call you back.
Doing this, I ended getting my NAH with Convenience package for 22 percent below invoice in June 30 (and the cash rebate was $500 lower). Ended paying $20,600 + taxes and registration.
I just got home after the best car buying experience I have EVER had. I spoke on the phone earlier in the morning with the sales rep to have them set one aside, came in drove it, loved it. They offered to prep it so I could leave with it today, and it was ready in a few hours.
No hassles, no headaches, no annoying upsells etc. They said here is a website with more warranty info if you want it, here are some other things you can do later on if you like.
Picked up a loaded one with more options than I can list - msrp 34,900 I set out looking for a base model one and decided that the back up camera, leather, etc was worth the extra (that and no one has any base models left around here).
so the price works out as follows
$34,900 msrp
-$5750 discounts
+Sales tax
-$4250 rebate ($3750 in lieu of apr and $500 holiday cash)
------
$24900 + sales tax
-2350 tax credit (collected later)
-sales tax deduction if you are eligible and the amount you save will vary.
Over all about $22550 + sales tax and dmv fees for a fully loaded one.
I also pre-purchased the 3 year / 45k maintence package (oil change + tire rotation) for $386, I would have spent that much anyway on the oil changes, so looked like a nice little bargain.
MSRP 34,920 (Tech package, etc etc) for $31,100
$500 bonus cash back
$2350 Tax Credit from Uncle Sam
0.9% for 60 months
=$28,250
I think I would have been better off taking a higher interest rate and $3,000 cash back, I could have saved roughly $500 more throughout
the financing. But I decided to buy my car in November instead of December...oh well.
The best best best deal nissan offers is an 8 year 150,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. No joke. That is the only reason I went with a Nissan Altima vs. a prius or fusion hybrid. I drive a lot. That piece of mind is good to have. I bargained and bought it for $2100. You can't get that anywhere else.
I'm very happy with my purchase.
WORDS OF CAUTION: You really have to be careful when you are closing the deal. They will try and rip you off on the Gold Preferred Security+Plus extended warranty, if you haven't done your homework.
I told the service manager when we finalized the 60 mo/%2.9 financing at the end of his pitch that I was going to hold off on the extended warranty for now. The first offers were outrageous. $2500-3000 for the 60 mo/60k mi and they try to get you to roll it right into your monthly finance pymts.
Anyway, found out the cost for the 7yr/100k mi (the max) Gold Preferred Security+Plus is $1397. 6yr/75k mi was $1122. Got him to show me the Nissan factory warranty book. He said he never shows the book to anyone, lol, but he knew I would get the best price online, so why play games. I threw him a c-note on top for his efforts and it was rolled into the finance agreement.
I told the dude, "hey, you are doing your best to make some extra bucks, ain't going to hate on you for that", but I wonder how many people just blindly roll that 2-3k into their deals?
Anyway, the basic warranty should be 5 yr/50k mi, minimum, in my opinion, on all new cars.
Came home, jumped online and ending up purchasing a 6 year 100,000 mile Gold Preferred plan from a dealership online. $765 w/$50 deductible plus they financed it for 17 months with 0% interest.
I had talked to a couple different online stores but these guys were by far the best: Nissan Warranty Store it's a dealer in CA
I'm not sure about the Maintenance Plus though, anyone have any experience with it?
i'm buying my new 2010 NAH at stevens creek nissan in san jose, ca, and this is the deal i'm getting. i put a $500 deposit down tonight, and will pick up the car tomorrow and pay the balance (they had to bring it in from another dealership about two hours away).
MSRP 29,080 hybrid with convenience package
minus 3500 from the dealership
= 25580
minus 3000 Nissan incentive for February 2010
base price= 22580 + tax + DMV fees
is this a good deal? i've just started reading these forums and am concerned with some of the reported engine problems. i am buying the car for the gas mileage and solid reviews in consumer reports.
any help? i have waffled between this car and a very comparably priced subaru legacy. i'm the first one i know of to purchase a hybrid, and just might need some reassurance on the wisdom (or not) of the decision. thanks!
I had a defective battery in the beginning, but once the dealership replaced it, it has been fine ever since. You'll love the car!
We are in Northern California. Sound like a good deal???
Saige
MSRP: $34,730
Sell price: $31,470 ($600.00 below invoice).
Nissan Rebate -$3750
Tax Credit -$2350
Trade -$13000
The trade value of my trade (2005 Ford Explorer) was what made me pull the trigger, this was at or above KBB trade-in. (I find that dealers often offer well below KBB trade-in value). I am guessing gas will be going up for the summer, so it was a good time to unload my SUV that was getting 16mpg this winter :surprise:
So far I'm averaging around 35mpg according to the DIC, haven't had to fill up yet (nor will I for a while)
We got it for $27,420 (not including taxes, tags, title, etc.) and bought the extended warranty and maintenance packages for $1 over invoice. Didn't do much research on the warranty, so hope we didn't get taken for a ride there.
What a sweet ride. Hope the info. helps somebody else in the area!
Secondly, may I ask you (and everyone else) to state the sticker price, and any applicable rebates you got? (But not the tax credit). This will help people have a better idea how the pricing breaks down, both now and in the future
$27610 Msrp
$23,695 price paid
$4500 rebate
$19195 +Fees
$2350.00 tax credit
$16845.00 or around $19k OTD
Is this including your tradein?
$16845.00 is really really cheap then.
BTW, I only see $4000 rebate from Nissan website. How can you get $4500 rebate?
The extra $500.00 rebate is something going on that ends this weekend for California residents.
Thanks
If you need something today I did see Connell Chevrolet Costa Mesa had them for $7500.00 off which is about $800.00 more then I paid but still a great deal.
Personally I think Nissan attached some sort of dealer incentive to sell these cars and get the inventory down but who cares them come out cheaper then the base 2.5 and drive much better IMO
It's a great ride.
I really would have liked some more options but adding the next package was another 4k+ on top of the convenience package and didn't want to spend the extra.
What year Maxima did you trade and did you think you got a fair value?
You are right about the 2.3k incentive, thats what sold me.
Can you tell me which Nissan's dealer in San Jose that you got this good price?
