Replying to: marc63082 (Sep 29, 2009 11:18 am) When I was shopping for my 09 Max, I asked some of these great hagglers (or deal hunters) about the pricing and either they couldn't back up their #s or they asked me to give them a call. when I called them they were like oh yeah I am a sales person at this dealership, I can get you this deal. However, blah blah blah same bs... Like I said, some of the other "deal hunters" couldn't back up their numbers. I don't get it, what kind of satisfaction some people get by posting fake numbers.I went by the "great" price on Truecar dot com. I stopped sweating over what some "deal hunters" are posting on these forums and on Maxima.org.

I have bought many cars over the years and did an immense amount of shopping before I got my Maxima, however in NYC & NJ the closest I got was $34K after hours of negotiations for these models. I know the car companies are hurting, but I know they are not taking $5,000 - $7,000 off MSRP on 2010 Maxima, without making that up somewhere (fees, financing, leases). Dealers always claim they are losing money when they sell you a car, however when prices are $2,000 - $3000 below dealer invoice, how does the dealer conceivably make $ to pay for salesman, pay managers, and pay overhead? Something has to give...

Replying to: marc63082 (Sep 30, 2009 9:20 am) I purchased the car on labor day weekend. In my case, I paid $27,150 on 2009 Maxima S + rear spoiler (This price is including all the rebates, fees and all and NOT including taxes and DMV fees). This is the base model, I added spoiler to it. Factory invoice for this particular car according to Truecar dot com is 28,774, "actual dealer" cost is 27,191. The dealer sold the car to me for 28,950 + 200 doc fees = $29,150. I used my $1500 customer loyalty cash because I am coming off of a lease on Altima going to a Maxima + $500 labor day weekend bonus cash. So I paid taxes on $29,150 but my purchase price after rebates was 27,150 with 0 APR for 60 mos. This price (27,150) was actually in line with Truecar dot com's "great" price including all rebates. When shopping, I think its good to get an idea from some honest users. Like when I started looking at prices, I had no idea but a couple of users on this forum helped me but some users are just at a different level...

| I have an offer on the table for $36,073.00 (Premium, Tech, Spoiler. Slate Black) from a PA dealer just outside Philly. My research say this price is acceptable but it is slightly higher than I want to pay. I have no trade-in. How do I deal at this point ? I am going to use their financing since 2.9 % is better than my Credit Union's 4.50 %. | |

Replying to: mr71166 (Oct 04, 2009 5:35 am) When I was shopping, I heard #s like $34,500 for a Prem + Prem Tech + rear spoiler + mats + splash guards and all that for 2009 models. I am not too sure if $1500 more for 2010 model is justified. But then again, I ain't no expert. Just my 2 cents. Good luck shopping. |

Replying to: mr71166 (Oct 04, 2009 5:35 am) I was thinking of buying a used maxima for $30G at 5.59% interest.But when I used this calculator I found I could buy a new 2009 max at $33,000 with 0% interest Nissan is offering on new 2009 Maxs for the same monthly payment or just a few dollars more. |

Replying to: mr71166 (Oct 04, 2009 5:35 am) If the tech package is $2000 extra then that should put you at $34000. I know yours is 2010 but back then 2010 was not out and and it was towards the end of the cash for clunckers program so dealers were not dealing that much because the sales were happening anyway and supplies were really low. I think you can do better.
