Just got back from the dealer.. 2008 S w/SL package -SL package -floor and trunk mats -emergency aid package -splash guards MSRP 25,505 Invoice i think is 23750 or so.. Price paid: 22362 + TTL. Came out to 24450 OTD in Seattle area. Deal was all made yesterday on phone and email. Picked it up from Younker Nissan in Renton. Bob from internet sales was great to work with, he showed my father in law how to do everything with the car before sending us on our way. |

Okay, I need an unbiased opinion. I have been working quite hard to get these deals: Here's what I have on the table: 08 Altima 2.4 SL White/Charcoal Leather Connection pkg Tech pkg Spoiler Fog lights Splash guards Mats $28,400 OTD (includes 7% sales tax, tag, title, fees, etc) They also offered $17,500 for my Tahoe (Edmonds trade in value for my Tahoe is $18,900). The reason for the offer is current gas prices and the fact that in my area there are SUV's sitting on lots everywhere around here. I was also offered $27,200 OTD by another dealership, but I would have to sell my Tahoe and continue to make payments on it until it sells and that could eat up the difference quickly. Both offers have calculated in the $1,000 cash back (I'm going with the 3.9 APR) Those with experience here... what do you think? Sign or no sign?

Replying to: tltc (Mar 21, 2008 6:30 pm) In regards to the actual Altima, is there anyway you could provide your deal before taxes, title, and plates, and other fees? Did you get an itemized quote from the dealer? It's hard to tell if a deal is good or not unless you give us the number before TT&L. |

Replying to: karpediem (Mar 20, 2008 8:29 pm) You should be able to find a loan/interest calculator by searching on Google... Try this site ... http://mortgages.interest.com/content/calculators/mortgage_calculator.asp Now, as to your question...Lets say you pay $50.00 extra on every payment. The additional $50.00 goes towards the principle payoff, since the interest is calculated on the outstanding loan at that time and is already covered by the loan payment for that period. So, paying extra each month will save you interest. Does that answer your question sufficiently?

Replying to: busiris (Mar 21, 2008 7:31 pm) I bought my 2.5S last year on 21.5K loan for 5 yrs. I wud have paid > 5K interest. I paid off in 9 months, had to pay only $650. And try to make your initial payments at the earliest possible and of the maximum amount possible. The sooner you get your principle down, the lower the interest you have to pay. |

Replying to: tltc (Mar 21, 2008 7:52 pm) Make sure you've taken advantage of the incentives available; the price seems fair regardless of whether its after incentives (in which case it'd be about $400 above invoice) or before incentives, but I'd try to get the incentives subtracted from the $26,277 number.

Hello, Let me first say I get a new car about every two years. I put an average of 50K miles a year and to tell the truth, just want a new car after awhile. I like to try different brands and have posts in the Camry, Jetta, Subaru and most recently Chevy Cobalt forums. Now I'm driving a new 2008 Altima S with the Convenience package and CV transmission. I bought it because my brother in law's brother works for Nissan and I could take advantage of their friends and family program. My price before tax and tags and after the $1000 rebate was $19K. Not bad. I really like driving the car but comparing it to my lowly Cobalt I have to ask: (1) why doesn't the Altima have daytime running lights? (2) why doesn't the lights come on when the wipers are turned on? It has an "auto" feature but the best I can figure out is they simply turn on the lights after it gets dark. (3) why can't you add OEM equipment to your car after purchase? XM radio and driving lights are two I would add but to get them you had to buy a package, which had stuff I didn't want. (4) why couldn't they cover up the black foam strip between the dash and the windshield? When the sun hits it just right it shines. (5) why does the maintenance book still call for oil changes at 3750 when most other manufacturers have gone to 5000 miles? Again, let me state I really like this car and love to drive it, but I just wonder why? A few more Nissan tweaks and this car could be near flawless, in my opinion. Anyone else share my thoughts? Otherwise, I'm a happy with the Altima and really like the price I paid. It is more comfortable than the Camry I had, more responsive than most four cylinders and somehow more fun to drive. I also like the 29 MPG I'm getting in in-town driving. I intend to do some driving all over the US this summer unless gas goes beyond the stratosphere of over $5 a gallon. If anyone has made some very long trips in theirs, I'd really be interested in your "after action reports." Thanks for the opportunity to post.
