We are negotiating with a few dealers for a sedan 3.5SL. One dealer says they offer a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty that other do not. Is this sales-hype or something of valu. TIA

Replying to: nancygirl (Jul 15, 2008 1:09 pm)  I'd ask to see a copy of the warranty and read it carefully to see what maintenance/records you need to keep in order for the warrant to be valid. I've seen some of those things where, if you can't prove you had the dealership change the oil at exactly 3,000 miles every time, the warranty is void. Granted, if they're willing to match the lowest price of any other dealership, then, sure, it's an added value, even if it has a ton of stipulations. I just got my 3.5SL for 26817 before any rebates, which I thought was a decent deal. Hopefully that's helpful. |

Keep price negotiations separate from negotiating the trade-in price and financing terms. If the salesperson asks about a trade-in or financing before you've settled on a price for the new vehicle, explain that you haven't yet decided and continue to negotiate the new-car price. Insist on a firm price quote on the spot and write the figure down. Shop around, get quotes from more than one dealer. Don't be pressured into accepting a price that's "good only if you buy today." A legitimate quote should be good tomorrow as well (although rebates and special promotions may have a cut-off date). Don't answer questions like "How much do you want to pay?" or "What do you think I'm entitled to make?" Make the salesperson give you a quote; he or she knows the business. Get up and leave if you get a firm price that a sales manager later rejects. Don't give a deposit before you settle on a price. Once you settle on a price make sure to get a receipt for your deposit and a signed copy of the quote. If a customer rebate is available, you may have a choice of cash or special low financing terms. You'll need to evaluate your other financing options before making a final decision. Whether or not a rebate is available, ask the dealer about financing terms. Manufacturers s ometimes offer below-market loans. Always compare the dealer's terms to those offered by a bank or credit union. Don't get too attached to one model. You'll bargain from a stronger position if you can walk away from the deal. Watch out for..... Be aware of any extra charges that may appear after you've agreed on a price. These items may include: Dealer "packs." Reject items such as rust proofing, fabric protection, "pre-delivery inspection" charges, pinstripes, and paint sealant. "Conveyance" or "document" fees. These charges for processing paperwork are sometimes negotiable. Extended warranties. Not worth it for a new car that has a high reliability rating, especially with today's long factory warranties.

Was looking around for new Altima deals, and have been looking for a 2008 2.5s Automatic, with no other bells and whistles. I found this deal today, which seemed too good to be true and like something I should jump all over, but wanted others thoughts: link title

Based on that add I assume 2941 is what they will take off if I put down a down payment of 2941 based on that other add in the clipping. So if one then takes off the 1000 rebate with the 3.9 financing that would be a better deal than I have heard posted on here until now for the Altima. Is anyone actually getting close to this?
