After Tax (9.3), title, license and doc fees 25283.41 From Younker in Renton, WA. Everyone was friendly and everything was handled over the internet/phone and the trip to pick it up involved about 45 mins at the dealer. Good experience.

Hi, I'm a newbie both to Edmunds and buying/negotiating for cars. I'm wondering what others have been paying for used 2008 2.5S Altimas. I found one at a local dealer (Austin) for $18,991 with 12k miles (didn't get specifics on the installed options; like I said... noob). But this appears to already be below KBB (though not the TMV estimate) for the comparable 2007 model. What kind of negotiating room can I expect on this?

Without perusing the posts again did I read some of you say Nissan offered an extended warranty of some kind for $900? Is this is so and if it is what kind (bumper to bumper or powertrain) and for how long? Is it factory backed? Thanks a lot

Replying to: lyttong (May 26, 2008 3:40 pm)  invoice on a new car. Based on a brand new 08 w/ convenience pkg MSRP 23590 I would think you could pretty easily get that car for 20,000 with rebates and some light dealing - probably even less. Then that brings up the question of 1100 over the 18991 price for a brand new car? I wouldn't even look at that car unless they were willing to move the price down 3k. 15991 seems fair for a used 08 (of course depending on packages.)

Has anyone used discounts offered to Nissan's Business Associates - the VPP? I am looking at one of their plans available to me and have a few questions.. The plan available to me differentiates between a delivery fee and destination charge. Does anyone know what and why is there a "delivery fee"? The plan say that I need to pay a 2.5% delivery fee plus the destination charge which I believe is $600+. Can anyone confirm this? They also offer a discount over the invoice price (which actually cancels off with the 2.5% delivery fee), so it basically translates to "buy the vehicle at invoice price". People tell me that "invoice price" is a good deal and I should go for it. Wondering if people have successfully been able to negotiate BELOW invoice (before rebates and cash back)? Lastly, it isn't very clear that packaged options (like the SL package or connection package) will be available at invoice price. I called customer service and they gave me a very vague respone. Does anyone here know if pakaged options are also available at "invoice price"?

Replying to: desiboy123 (May 27, 2008 1:01 pm) I got my Altima below invoice- once you calculated holdback and everything, I paid about $200 below cost. And also for the used Altima case- you have to check what options it has- the convenience pkg. adds about $800 (invoice) worth of stuff, convenience plus adds $1600ish, I believe, and anything beyond that is an SL. But for almost $19K and with 12,000 miles, I'd rather just spring an extra $2000 or so and get a brand new one, especially with all the Nissan incentives on the Altima right now... |

Replying to: desiboy123 (May 27, 2008 1:01 pm) With a little internet dealing and on this forum I believe you should have no problem getting a dealer to dip 300-700 below invoice pricing on the vehicle you are looking for. Anytime you go into the dealership and deal with a salesmonkey you'll have trouble going below invoice. Price out thru the internet, tell a dealer you got a price at invoice and can they match it? When they match it take that price to another dealer who offer's to beat any offer by $250/300/etc. Make sure you are getting quotes for an OTD price, otherwise they may beat an offer by 250 but add a rediculous 299 doc fee It is harder to get OTD prices from dealers since it leaves them very little room to screw you on the backside, you may have to pick up a phone to get the true OTD price. Try this "If you can get me a firm OTD price in writing I'll put a $500 deposit on the vehicle right now" -- Once they say they've sent it tell them you have to hang up to check your email, call back only if you are making the deal with that dealership.

Replying to: thereal411 (May 28, 2008 10:05 am) What I typically do is ask for a price AND ask for their doc fee as well. I had one dealer say that their doc fee was $600 and they couldn't go below invoice- $21K. Needless to say, I didn't buy from them. (I ended up buying from the dealer that advertised themselves as "the home of the 0 doc fee") But, in the Altima case, it should be pretty easy to negotiate a price $300-$1000 below invoice, depending on model, before any and all incentives are applied. |

Need some help......we are looking at a 2008 Altima S with SL convenience package, leather, sunroof, power everything, heated seats, etc. with 5800 miles (purchased in Sept. 07 by seller)....I can't find any bluebook information on this year of vehicle. The seller is asking for $21950. Sounds fair enough or is it (not sure about depreciation, etc.)? Not really sure how much to offer - anyone have any ideas? We had looked at a 2008 S this past weekend at the dealer and the best price we got was $18,490 (after all incentives, etc.), but this one is loaded out with many more options. Any help would be great.
