the amount you put down on a car has no influence on the type of deal the dealership is going to give you. they get their money from the bank.

You should be looking at 19,750 including the 1,250 rebate.

O.k I have been shopping all day between Nissan and Honda. I tried the 09 altima but I liked the 09 accord due to its navigation system and interior look. Ok., here goes the tricky stuuf. I had my 02 altima for trade in and they were willing to give me $6000 for it. I told the sales man I wanted what the accord had but he said that was not possible abotu the navi. Then when I told him I ws going to go to honda , he told me to hold up. He rhen cam e back with an offer to get the 09 altima with nvi system and rear view camera , moonroof heated seat, etc. Oh, this was a 2.5 sl4 cylinder. He told me it would be a connection paackadge as well as a tech package deal. I had to keep my payment at 350 0r no higher then 360 a month. Originally that is what we had. As soon as i made a 500$ deposit , his manger came over and told me that he could only give me $4500 for my trade in since it had a little damge to it and i had custom rims on it. Now my payment was going to be $395. He told me if I bought my factory wheel back he would give me an extra $500. So now the trade in would be $5000. He told me the MSRP was at 3032? Now when I asked about where the car was coming from because it was not on the lot , he told me from anther dealership. I had to go back and get my paystubbs and proof of residence and he said he would check with his finace people to see what rate i would get. I was already preapproved at my credit union and the ytold me my payment would be at 350 a month.I told him that and that is when they said they wouldcheck through their finace . I came back later but they said they could not get in tiouch with anybody becuase it was late in the day and to give them to til tommorow morning to come p with something. Am i getting screwd here.? I read about obtaining my deposit back but i am not sure. My mother used her debit card to put down the 500. Thonda the guy told me that i would alos have to wait till tommrow to see what percent the can give me. What do I do? I hope i will not have a hard time getting my money back if i decide not to get the Altima. I can afford to m ake a payment of 450 a month.

I sense a little bait and switch; did you get your $6000 trade offer in writing? If you did, then I'd whip out that sheet and wave it in their face...
If they didn't, well, I'd just flat out walk and try another Nissan dealer. Life's too short to play games with a dealership. I would just tell them that you were offered $6000 for your trade, and ask whether or not they will honor the trade in price on the transaction. If not, I'd demand your deposit back. Is your deposit refundable? Never put down a deposit unless it's fully refundable and in writing.
 
If there's not another Nissan dealer near you, I'd just go buy the Accord.

I went to the Nissan dealer who at first told me he did not have a 09 Altima that had fully loaded with navii. I think at first he said they dont make them stock. When I mentioned I was going to Honda becuse the had the accord with navi fully loaded, he switched tunes. He went to his boss and said they could get a 09 Altima ,fully loaded, with navi and back up rear camera. I asked them if this would be stock or aftermarket. He said they can locate one for me and it would be Nisaan products. Is he lying to me? He said the it would be a 09 Altima sl package with technology package and connection package. The MSRP he said is 30,075 or 30025. I forget. I had a deposit down intially but the kep trying to bump up my monthy payments from 350 which I originally wanted, to giving me 66months for $399 a month. My bank is giving me $401 at 6.50% for 60 months on a 09 accord with navi fully loaded. The guy at Nissan could not get any lower then 9.59% over 72 months 2 days ago. Tha is when I asked for my deposit back.All of a sudden, the next day , they call me up and can get me at $399 for 66months but he did not tell at what % yet. As I said before I had a 500$ deposit down but I got that back which they said would take a couple of days. This is the second day so I hop emy mothers debitcard is credited. I mad them give me a reciept. So, please help me , should I deal with these people. IS THERE SUCH A ALTIMA THAT CAN BE STOCK MADE LIKE THS?

I'm not an expert but I have suggestions:
 
(1) Call, email, or visit other dealers and see what they say about that type of car being available, and what they can do for you on price. There is no reason you should only be dealing with one Nissan dealer, especially one that has trouble giving you a straight answer.
 
(2) You are lucky if you get your deposit back that easily and/or that quickly. DO NOT give any more deposits. There is no advantage for you to do that and you are giving up negotiating leverage by doing so.
 
(3) Are you sure you can afford this tricked out car if you have to put the deposit on your mom's debit card? I don't mean that as an insult, just an observation based on what you've reported.
 
(4) On financing, regardless of what APR it turns out to be, $401 at 60 months is about $2400 better than $399 at 66 months. Just do the math. You are spending $399 a month for six additional months.
