I'm kind of surprised to see people suggesting that $3k off is a good deal in this economy. Deals can be found easily on-line for considerably less than invoice especially on the more highly packaged Maximas. I've been looking for about the past month, and here's what I concluded. Given the abysmal economy; the glut of leftover 08's from many competitors (Acura TL, Infiniti G35, etc.); and the high price for a non-luxury label, the high-end Maximas are selling for a solid 2K below invoice already in my part of the country - DC / the mid-atlantic region. Dealers who ordered highly equipped models are trying to dump them. (BTW, I am merely debating between an 09 Maxima and an 08 G35x, and the leftover G is cheaper.) Dealers are showing those kinds of discounts on-line as their internet prices with no negotiation needed. I am seeing loaded SV models with MSRPs of $37K and $38K listed for $31-32K. Modestly equipped Maximas are listed for invoice or about $1K below invoice. Do a wide search on-line, negotiate over the phone, and then buy a plane ticket if you want to save an extra $3K.

Great advice no matter what vehicle you're shopping for. People feel they are restricted to buying locally. A poster on the murano thread who lived in the northeast flew into st. louis and drove it back home and saved $2500 including airfare, gas, lodging.

well i have an option between a Maxima SV bluetooth, Nav, moonroof, harddrive, ipod dock, nearly all options the MSRP 38300 dealer finally down to 33999. the biggest issue is financing and then gas mileage. I had issues with incorrect mileage on my loaded altima and could only get 26mpg no matter how I drove with blended but mostly highway. The trip would show 28 or 29 but would only be 26. I am worried I will get the same w/ the maxima. Financing they still have nothing can get 4.9 but Hyundai is offering the Genesis at 2.9 it just cost 3k more for similar package. I am open for advice. signed tired of car shopping.

When you spend 35k on a loaded car, mpg should be very low on your concern list. You could buy a loaded chevy malibu LTZ for 8-10k less and have a nice ride and save enough to pay for gas for many years. The deals on hybrids a amazing now. They almost make sense to buy if mpg is an obsession. You did well to average 26mpg on your altima -- very well. The maxima will not do any better.

15000 miles per year / 26 mpg = 576.9 gal X $2.50 per gal = $1442 yr
15000 / 21 mpg = 714.3 gal X $2.50 = $1786 yr
1786 - 1442 = $344 year difference between 26 mpg and 21 mpg
Will $344 per year make that much of a difference? Buy the car you want to drive.

I am with you and that makes sense. however I drive 25k per year plus and if gas is back to 3.00 or 3.50 within a year the difference would be $800 at 3.50 per gallon. I know still not a ton of money but it is what it is. The mileage calculation was just an annoyance I mean why have inaccurate information on a brand new car. anyway thanks for your help.
