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.

I'm just now beginning to search for a new car. Currently driving an '03 Maxima (72K miles) and am considering the '09 Maxima, Lexus ES350 and Toyota Avalon. IMO the Max seems a bit high priced but haven't driven it yet.
 
Has anyone out there gotten any good deals in the Denver/Fort Collins region.
 
Thanks

I can spend 27.2K on a company vehicle. It is basically a cash transaction since our leasing company sends the dealer a cashiers check. Do you think I have any chance in todays market to get a loaded up SV at that price? Per our leasing rules, the car can't be a demo.

I was wrong in what I can spend. It is more like 26,870. I have to add 2% to the selling cost and be under 27.4K, Anyone have any ideas on what the highest sticker priced Maxima I can get? How can I get the best deal when there is no trade-in and basically is a cash deal? Is it silly to find a car I want, make an offer and set back and see what happens. I am not in a hurry to purchase. I can turn in my current vehicle anytime after late May that I want.
 
The only rub is that it has to be a 2009 and can not be a demo. Our company leases through a third party and it is a mileaged based lease, not a month based. I asked about purchasing a demo unit with a few thousands miles and they said NO.

Anyone heard any grumblings about May 2009 Rebates?
I am guessing they are going up... a bunch.
  
I reviewed the sales of the Maxima and Altima since August. The numbers look horrible regardless of what the dealers are telling us. Year over year sales:
  
Maxima
AUG 08 +15%
SEPT -19.1%
OCT +33%
NOV -37.2%
DEC -16%
JAN 09 -30.3%
FEB -38.4%
MAR -26.4%
  
Altima
AUG 08 -.5%
SEPT -42.4
OCT -18.5%
NOV -45.3%
DEC -31.2%
JAN 09 -34.7%
FEB -31.5%
MAR -37.8%
  
I am interested to see April's numbers that should be release next Monday.

April 2009 Sales by tmikeb

APRIL 2009 Sales Numbers Year over Year for the Month
 
Maxima +62.7% - nice recovery, but still -17% for the year which has to be a huge disappointment in the first year of a model overhaul.
 
Altima -46.9% and -37.7% for the year. I am thinking some big rebates are coming on Altima's.

I just purchased am 09 SV w/ Premium, mats and splash guards. The MSRP was $37,355, best deal I could get was $31,300 + tax and tags. I had one dealer offer an addition $100 off but the 35 miles further was not worth the effort.
