#1112 of 1888 Re: Just got Altima 2007 SE 6 MT with Technology PKG & VDC [chirocat] by tropo Jul 05, 2007 (9:30 am)
Replying to: chirocat (Jul 04, 2007 10:00 pm) The sport package and sun roof are included as do the floor mats, for that sale price. MSRP including des. charges was $32,275. I looked at the Accord MT6, and I was not impressed. For me, the Altima had a better total package (including the Sport package and VDC) that the Accord simply does not have (VDC) or it is extra accessories (Navigation, sport package components and the bluetooth interface to the cell phone - Works great!! - I live on my cell phone)that bring the price gap between the two to around $2,000 or so. Add the advanced electronics of the Altima, and it did it for us. Please do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the Accord, but we decided to go with the Altima. The TL had all of the Altima items, plus memory seats and power passenger seat. We chose to buy the Nissan Gold Preffered extended warranty for 84 months, 100K miles for a $1K, as we intend to keep the car and hand it over to the kids when they start driving (five years or so).   So at the end, I have all the option for $29.1K. Simply put there are no more options to add to the car. I think that this is your target price as well.   I hope this helps in your decision process. The good news, with the three cars that you mentioned - Altima, Accord and Acura TL, you simply can't go wrong. Good luck!! Replies to this message: chirocat (Jul 05, 2007 7:29 pm)
#1113 of 1888 2.5SL or 3.5SE w/Leather (demo) by kkj1961 Jul 05, 2007 (6:30 pm)
Got quotes on these two models from a St. Louis dealer. I was thinking about a 2.5SL with connection package, but the dealer has a 3.5SE w/Leather package demo that is tempting. What do you think of these quotes and what are the pluses/minuses of going with a demo?   2007 ALTIMA 2.5 S 4DR AUTO, PRECISION GREY, CHARCOAL     MSRP BASE $20,300 ABS $300 CONNECTION PKG $1,200 FLOOR MATS $170 SPLASH GUARDS $130 SL PACKAGE $3,850 Freight Charge $615 Total $26,565 quoted price $25,100.00   2007 ALTIMA 3.5 SE 4DR AUTO MAJESTIC BLUE, BLOND     MSRP BASE $24,500 ALUMINUM KICK PLA $170 FLOOR MATS $170 LEATHER PACKAGE $2,700 SPLASH GUARDS $130 VDC $900 Freight Charge $615 Total $29,185 Quoted price $26500.00   Dealer's prices include paint sealant and fabric guard at no additional charge.   $25,100 is about what I've been getting for a quote on the 2.5SL. Is the $26.5 a decent deal on the 3.5SE w/Leather pkg demo?

Replying to: tropo (Jul 05, 2007 9:30 am) Thanks! that does clarify a lot, Nissan needs to clean up the option process IMHO. For me the basic list I require includes at least a V-6, 6MT, Leather, Dual Zone Climate Control and Nav. The only cars that really hit that mark under 30k is the Accord EX-L at ~25k + TTL and now the Altima hopefully near your price of ~29k + TTL. 4k is a lot for push button start and bluetooth, but I yet to drive either car but I imagine the Honda drives like the TL, which is awesome. I can live without bluetooth, as I rarely touch the phone while I am driving....but if someone calls I would like the option to answer without any distraction(I never go past 10 seconds on a call when I am driving) and finish the call as fast as possible. As far as the VDC, the Accord has VSC standard on the EX V-6 models.    One other requirement I have is relaxed freeway cruising, which tosses out the infinity G35. Right now we have 2 Nissans, a 01 Sentra and my 98 Maxima SE, both with manuals. Both run high RPM on the freeway which is annoying in the Sentra, and wastes gas in the Maxima. Although the VQ is an awesome motor, 3300 rpm for 30-45 minutes a day has got to take a toll on the engine life. I do plan to move to shorten my commute, but for now I have to drive 50 miles a day. By my calculations, the Accord and Altima should achieve about 2750 RPM at my target speed. Even with all that said, no dealer in my area has either car with this equipment list, let alone a color I like, so it may be a moot point.  Again, thanks for your imput!
#1115 of 1888 Pricing by under9hell Jul 05, 2007 (9:59 pm)
a dealer is giving me 21,175 OTD for a 2007 Altima 2.5S CVT with convenience package, ABS, floor mats, splash guards. This is his first quote, no dealing yet. Do you think this is a good price? I live in TX so sale tax is like 6.25%.

Replying to: under9hell (Jul 05, 2007 9:59 pm) The invoice for altima with the options you listed is about 21,070. You could easily go at least couple of hundreeds under invoice. Here is a break down of invoice prices:   Base $19,037 ABS $260 Convenience Package $911 Floor Mats $132 Splash Guards $106 Freight charge $625 Replies to this message: under9hell (Jul 06, 2007 8:22 am)

Replying to: elena77 (Jul 06, 2007 7:40 am) oh 21,070 is OTD price, includes TTL and all fees. I'm asking for free aluminum kick plates or a rear spoiler if possible.
#1118 of 1888 Re: Pricing [under9hell] by j3flyer Jul 06, 2007 (5:51 pm)
Replying to: under9hell (Jul 05, 2007 9:59 pm) We purchased the Altima 2.5S CVT with exact options. Listed $22,575. First dealer offer to me was $20,000 with the current $500 rebate applied. Over the phone, I countered with $19,400 and opt'd for the 2.9% at 60 months. Bottom line, paid $19,850 OTD. Second dealership with same car could only go $20,249. Keep in mind that dealers are clearing out their '07s before the arrival of the new '08s. July is typically the month to get a good deal on what will become a year old model with arrival of the new models. By the way, this is a great car. Buy it!

#1119 of 1888 Thinking of buying a 2007 Altima S by elmoblatch2 Jul 06, 2007 (8:18 pm)
Replying to: j3flyer (Jul 06, 2007 5:51 pm) We just started looking tonight and may go to make a deal tomorrow. We checked out the reviews from other owners on Edmunds and most folks seemed very happy.   The wife likes white for a color, I think it will be too hard to keep clean.   I sat in the back seat and head roon was a little crampt, but then I am 6'3" so I guess that's OK.   I am going to read the other posts here and hope a few night owls will respond in the mean time. Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: fundukis (Jul 07, 2007 10:47 am)
#1120 of 1888 Re: Thinking of buying a 2007 Altima S [elmoblatch2] by fundukis Jul 07, 2007 (10:47 am)
Replying to: elmoblatch2 (Jul 06, 2007 8:18 pm) Hello everybody. It is already two weeks as my wife drives her Altima 2007 2.5S with: CVT, SL package, ABS brakes, , splash guards, and floor/trunk mats and she loves it. First of all big thank to zink88, whose detailed report opened my eyes on many different things. It was my “bible”. My target was OTD price of $25,000/$25,100, which I thought was a fair price to pay. I came to this price after doing some research and negotiations. I used the same strategy as zink88 with the difference that I used Edmunds.com to e-mail my requests to the dealers around NYC. My price was matched by Pine Belt Nissan of Keyport in NJ. I had two better offers but the guys over there sounded too pushy and did not have my color in their inventory. My break down is as follows: Price of the car: $22,361 with the above mentioned options.   Destination charge: $625 Taxes on both: $1925.08 (NYC tax 8.375%). Doc fee: $95 Registration fee: $100 Total OTD price: $25,106.08 Could it be better? May be, but I am happy with this price and the conditions. My credit allowed me to finance the whole price of the car with 0.7% for 36 months. This financing cost me only $271.76 in interest charges over the 3-year life of the loan. Monthly payment: $704.94. Luckily I have those $25,106.08. I already put it in a separate account (with automatic monthly withdrawals) which gives me now 5.05%. The interest should cover those $271.76 plus give me some profit, which if deducted from the price will give me true cost of the car at the end of the third year.  A bit of negative stuff. Visited Bay Ridge Nissan in Brooklyn. Signed a contract with them, and at the last moment they wanted more money over the contracted price. Refused to pay, tore the contract and left. Same stuff with Nissan of Staten Island. They also wanted more money over the contracted price. I refused to pay and they refused to return my deposit ($500). I absolutely did not have any doubts that my credit card company will get my money back. And they did it in just two weeks. These TWO employ very bad and deceptive practices. If possible stay away from those crooks. Summary: Get quotes from many dealerships. Read carefully their responses. It is easy to distinguish between serious and BS offers/responses. Try not to leave any deposit. If they insist on a deposit, pay with a credit card. Know your credit history in advance to exclude any surprises.  I had very pleasant experience with the guys from Pine Belt. I came to Pine Belt only once. Everything was negotiated via e-mail and I made couple of phone calls on the day I picked up the car. It was only one unexpected turn. The car they showed to me had 110 miles and one of the compartment lids was broken. I did not like this. No problem – they brought another car (same color) with 7 miles on odometer and of course everything worked fine. I would suggest you call in advance and ask about mileage and the rest.
#1121 of 1888 Graduated from thinking of buying to actual purchase by elmoblatch2 Jul 07, 2007 (8:09 pm)
Signed the papers this afternoon for a 2007 Altima S.   After reviewing package options, we decided to go with the base model, with only ABS & floor mats.   MSRP was $21,400, sale price was $19,990. Was able to get a good value for our trade and got them to add paint protectant and fabric guard for $400.   I have dealt with this dealer and this salesman before so the fit was good. Only two dealers in town son there was not a lot of shopping around to do.   Going for 2.9% over 60 months. By the time we factor in gas savings, monthly cost is $50 less than the Subaru Forest we drive now.   Different cars...AWD on the Subaru vs. better MPG on the Altima. Salesman says we can pick it up Monday night.   Sounds like a good deal to us...what do others think.
