Replying to: gregd1 (Jul 05, 2008 12:12 pm) My local dealership did not indicate they they could get it transferred to me here. They led me to believe that I would have to travel up north to get my car (I am in Florida and the closest place for me would be NE) and that I would have to bring it back here. Once I brought the car back home, they could service it. Again, something about them not being allowed to sell them in Florida quite yet due to the Toyota contract. Good luck .... why don't you ask your local Nissan dealer and see what they tell you.

Replying to: gregd1 (Jul 05, 2008 9:21 am) I don't think your dealer can transfer the car in and then sell you the car in Illinios; you'd have to get in touch with the N. California dealer and buy it from them, but then have it shipped to you or your Nissan dealer. You'll have to buy from the dealer in California, but you could probably handle all that by e-mail or the phone.   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! Replies to this message: marcogallo1986 (Jul 07, 2008 6:32 pm)

Replying to: milkman1 (Jul 08, 2008 5:20 pm) Whoa.. Are they used or brand new? I know Ohio isn't on the list of approved states for the Altima Hybrid...   And $34K is straight up price gouging.. Whoever's considering an Altima Hybrid in Columbus should probably give the 4 cyl. SL a try... Replies to this message: gregd1 (Jul 09, 2008 7:51 am) jchan2 (Jul 09, 2008 2:23 pm)

Replying to: jchan2 (Jul 08, 2008 6:44 pm) I am not sure it's gouging or not. I have been searching the Nissan dealers in Cal. mossy nissan has 43 Altima Hybrids!!!!   Depending on what is in the car. these guys have one listed at 33,700. But with 43!!!! Altima Hybrids I would think they would look to deal.   I have been emailing them. Trying to get them to answer my questions. But they seem to be hesitant to answer the question about transferring to Chicago. Also about the enegry credits left on the Altima hybrid. It seems like there is $2,350.

#1866 of 2002 Price Shopping by mlegoudes Jul 09, 2008 (1:58 pm)
I've been shopping for an '08 Altima 2.5S with SL pkg and connection pkg. I'm in the Houston, TX area and the best deal I've been able to get is $23,995 + TTL. Just wondering if there are any thoughts on if I can get a better deal or not. Should I try to hold out until the '09 come out and then try to find a left over?   Any advice is greatly appreciated.   -Melissa Replies to this message: trucker49 (Jul 09, 2008 9:14 pm) liveshot (Jul 13, 2008 9:25 am)

Replying to: gregd1 (Jul 09, 2008 7:51 am) I guess it comes down to the equipment.. I wouldn't be surprised if the fully loaded ones with Navigation are into the low $30s... You really do pay a premium for it.   You could mention that they have 43 2008 models on the lot when the 2009s are coming soon... Just remind them that these cars will quickly be old inventory.   You could just ask them to ship the car to your house, removing a Nissan dealer completely out of the equation. In that case, it would be a lot like an eBay Motors deal where you mail them a check, and they put the car on a transporter to your house. I think you might want to ask someone who's purchased a car off of eBay and had it shipped to them to help you out.   Worst comes to worst, you can always fly out, buy the car, and ship it back... Or just take a lovely road trip in your new Altima back home:)

Replying to: mlegoudes (Jul 09, 2008 1:58 pm) Well the only problem with that plan is the 08's are going pretty fast especially the SL's....it might not be a bad plan if you don't care what color or color of interior you get. The 09's are not supposed to change at all from what I've heard but early on doubt you'd get the 3.9% or thousand dollar rebate. That deal doesn't sound that bad too me...I heard with the incentives and all the dealers trading around to get customers the colors and options they want the average time an SL sits on the dealers lot was 4 days.
#1869 of 2002 Just got a 3.5SL... by habiem Jul 12, 2008 (8:12 am)
Wanted to share my experience. I picked up a 3.5SL dark slate/charcoal interior yesterday. Only options were splash guards and floor mats. Paid 26817 without any rebates (it was a lease). Thought the price was pretty good, as from what Edmunds shows, it was about 650 below invoice. The rest of the lease deal was fairly straightforward, they didn't mark up the money factor or pull any funny stuff with the residual. I got 200 less than I wanted for my trade in, but 500 more than their first offer, so, all in all, not bad.   I'm in the St. Louis area and bought the car from St. Charles Nissan. Overall, buying experience was not good. The sales guy was rude, and they made you wait around forever - the process took 3.5 hours. I'd almost rather a rude sales guy though, because when they're too nice, I have trouble being stern on my offer The rude guys make me work even harder to make sure I limit how much the dealership makes off the deal.   They were the only dealership in the area with the color combo I wanted. I've purchased other cars from St. Charles Auto (the parent company of St. Charles Nissan) and have always been able to get a good price, but you have to be careful. They will gladly screw you if they have the chance. However, I've found if you go in there knowing what you're willing to pay and are firm (and your offer is reasonable), they'll deal.   I'd also recommend checking out Bommarito Nissan in St. Louis. They gave me the best internet price, and that's what it took to get St. Charles Nissan to agree to the sale.   Hope this is helpful to someone.
