Replying to: yzfr104 (Jul 03, 2008 1:21 pm) I leased an 08, S with the 4 cyl. with the Xtronic CVT. It has the SL package, comfort and convenience package, splash guards, connection package with the Bose and bluetooth and the floor mat set. The list on the car is $26,790 which is probably high because the SL package was added on the vehicle. The lease amount monthly is good and I can get more mpg than I did on the SRX, There are very few Altimas here in Lansing. Mine had to be brought in from Saginaw as I really wanted the XM radio that comes with the Connection package. I really like the hands free phone too. Probably more info than you wanted, but I do like the car and will be driving it for the next three years, or less. |

Replying to: mitchmiller (Jun 06, 2008 3:45 pm) What he is doing is putting the engine under tremendous load! There is a reason why cars have gears, the first gear is to help the engine begin to move the cars massive weight, after you shift to the 2nd gear, the transmission helps the engine move the car faster and faster. Imagine walking up the stairs, if you step one at a time, it's quite easy. Now imagine jumping 2-3 steps at 1 time constantly, and you get a small idea of what the engine is going through. If you have driven up a mountain in the improper gear, the car is slow and you heighten the risk of knock in the engine, and that is very detrimental to the life of the engine. Knock is when the engine cylinder ignites prematurely at the incorrect time. Imagine All 4 pistons moving freely, when 1 abruptly stops, causing tremendous resistance to the other 3 pistons, the crankshaft, and engine internals. I REPEAT: I SUGGEST YOU DO NOT DO WHAT HE IS DOING TO HIS CAR! |

Replying to: townboy325 (Jun 02, 2007 3:45 am) I know they are only available in: California, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine, and New Jersey. I was looking at some N Cal nissan dealer web sites. They seem to have lots of Altima hybrids. -Can you get them transfered to a state other than these? -If I had family in one of these states, could they buy it and ship it to me? Or would the dealer transfer it after sale? -Could local dealers work on the car? If things went wrong? -Since this is a new hybrid, is there government rebates available on this hybrid? thanks! |

Has anyone had any experience with this company - www.servicecontractsdirect.com. I was looking for an extended warranty for my Altima, and their prices seem very competative for a factory warranty. I've tried searching for any comments on the company and can't find anything. Trying to find out if the company is legit.

I am in Ohio and the dealer in my town has been bringing them in by the bushel charging an extra 500 bucks for the additional transport from wherever they are buying them from. They are all fully loaded so it's like 34,500 + 500 firm

Replying to: milkman1 (Jul 05, 2008 10:20 am) Your talking about the Altima Hybrids? In Ohio they are bringing them in? Can you post the deal. Wondering if they have the service tech to work on the cars also?

Replying to: gregd1 (Jul 05, 2008 9:21 am) I was told that this was because Nissan purchased the hybrid technology from Toyota and it was Toyota who was restricting how many states they could sell them in and the timeline for allowing it. Not sure if the dealership told me the truth or not, but that is what I was told.

Replying to: wyngator (Jul 05, 2008 11:54 am) I actually have one side of my family living in Cal. So I was thinking they could buy it. But How to get it to Chicago? Would they then do a dealer to dealer transfer? Or would I have to ship it myself, like by train? thanks

Replying to: gregd1 (Jul 05, 2008 9:21 am) I think Nissan may still have some rebates left on the Altima, since they haven't sold 60K yet; the Altima Hybrid is extremely low volume, to the best of my knowledge. All Nissan mechanics are certified to work on Hybrids, so if you purchase one in N. California but take it back to Illinois with you, any local Nissan dealer should be able to service the car. Hope this helps!
