Replying to: catdaddy25 (Aug 26, 2008 11:26 am) You got me interested a few weeks ago when you advised us of your purchase. Dobbs does not publish what their doc fees are though. This was a red flag for me. A lot of places will advertise a low number and then later you will find out that this # doesn't include destination and/or a high doc fee which makes their real price much higher and no better than any other dealer. This is why I was curious to hear the whole story from you. I would need to know the total picture so I could decide if buying from them or another low cost dealer is really worth the $ and hassle involved in buying far away from home. I think my strategy will be to take Dobbs (and others) price to a few local dealers and see what happens. If they say heck no, I can always add the price of the plane ticket and fuel to drive home to my offer and see if that works. If they say heck no again, I have to decide to take a chance on Dobbs, Fitzmall, etc. or to accept the VPP supplier price which is: "Dealer invoice Minus VPP discount (Nissan 2.87% : Infiniti 1.65%) Plus dealer added options, Security Plus, Infiniti Extended Protection Plan, etc. Plus 2.5% delivery fee of dealer invoice after VPP discount has been subtracted Plus destination and handling charge Minus applicable incentives Equals participant's purchase price" Not a bad deal; gets close to invoice with no hassle. I will have to compare this to what Dobbs/Fitzmall/and others report on these forums as the months go by. If I weren't locked in a lease for another year, I would probably be on my way to Memphis by now. Thanks again. |

In mid-August, I purchased a 2009 Maxima w/Premium and the Technology Packages. In Central North Carolina, I was able to get $3700 off MSRP. Doc fee was $399. Nissan Apex dealer was also very nice to work with and came very close to this price - they just didn't have the specific color/options I was looking for. If you can travel, best deals in the Eastern USA appear to be at Dobbs Nissan in Memphis. Even with a $700 shipping fee, you may come out ahead buying from these folks if you live in a big city where large discounts are still hard to find.

| Are any Dallas area dealerships offering any significant discounts off the MSRP of the 09 Maxima? If so, how much and for what model and package? | |

I drive an 05 Max now...about to come off lease (4 mos). I'm torn between the Maxima and the C350 Benz sport for a few reasons. 1. They're Not Budging Off List.... here are the lease deals I was quoted for 39 mos 12K mi per year: $1000 down, 747/mo 2500 down, 699 mo 5000 down, 643/mo (are u serious?) 2. The seats on the SV I test drove were very uncomfortable. Felt like I was sitting on a pull out couch bed. Surprising compared to my current max. 3. Price - At right around $41K, I'm wondering why I shouldn't look at a Benz or BMW with longer warranty. Another question....can you ask for an internet quote after you've already been out to the dealership? Just curious if I'd get a better deal. Appreciate any feedback you guys have. Thanks.

Replying to: soplush (Sep 18, 2008 6:56 pm) I can't believe that they are not discounting the car. Where are you located? Also, I would not submit an internet quote to the same dealership. I would receive internet quotes from other local dealers and base your decision on the numbers you receive as well as the perceived customer service. Matt eights38  gmail.com
