| What should I be looking to pay for a New Altima Coupe 3.5 SE w/ Premium Package? I live in Cincinnati btw. I know there is the $1500 rebate, but it expires 6/30. Will there be another special offer that begins when this one expires? Thanks! | |

This relates to a 2.5S CVT with both convenience + convenience plus, alum. kickplates, floor mats and splash guards. MSRP = $24,890 (plus some dealer tack ons). Actual Invoice = $23,156 (per Edmunds.com). Edmunds' TMV = $21,102 (after $1,500 rebate), ------------------------------------ The salesguy and I agree to $20K (they keep the rebate) plus tax, tag & title (or so I thought). We sit down at his table and he disappears for 15 minutes. About 45 minutes later, the "business manager" has us signing papers and I'm expecting to see $21.5K at the top of the contract. Instead it reads ~ $22K+. "WTF?" There's also a pre-printed "handling fee" of $599 which had not been mentioned. I'm ticked and ready to walk. However, my wife is with me and, although this was to be "my" car, it's the one she wants. So instead of making a scene (as I'm tempted to do), we agree to a compromise... After the $1,500 rebate... $20,384 (or $20,943 w-handling fee tacked on). Still, under Invoice, close to Edmund's TMV, and much less than the prices from these car-buying services: Cars Direct (after-rebate) = $21,706. Zag (Am-Ex) Program (after-rebate) = $21,656. ... Going with a car-buying service would have cost me money. Bottom Line: I regret not walking out and telling the salescreep to call us, if he decided to keep his word. But I think that we ended up with a decent price, anyway. I did find it funny after all that, that he had the gal to ask me for a favorable review in the survey. LOL. |

We purchased a new 2.5S today (no options) for around 16,700 + 100 documentation today. This was well below edmunds TMV price of 19, 100 so we were very pleased.

Replying to: kex (Jun 27, 2009 8:09 pm) Frankly, I didn't want $2.5K in options that came with mine, I was backed into it by my wife who just had to have "that color" -- sonoran sand, a/k/a gold. We got the cheapest "sonoran sand" 2.5S on the lot. The stripped 2.5S's were all in white. |

Any experience buying in DC area? What's the lowest this car has gone for lately? |

I have a deal in work with a dealer here in Oklahoma. We've agreed to a price for a specific car, and I have paid him $500 down to find it. He hasn't found it yet, and I am thinking about going elsewhere, since he said he would have it in two days and we're going on four days. But I wanted to run the deal by the forum here, and see if it sounds OK: Altima Coupe 2.5S Convenience Package Moonroof 5-piece mat set Dark Slate MSRP (per Edmunds): 25,295 Invoice: 23,579 TMV: 21,791 after 1500 rebate I offered 21,791 and he said OK. He tacked on a $200 doc fee, but nothing else. So I should get the car for 21,991 if I can get through F&I without being a sucker. Should I stick it out and wait for them to find the car? Or head to another local dealer who I found out has this car in-stock? I doubt the first dealership is going to give me back my $500 without a fight, so I would have to get a really good deal to make it worth walking. Thanks, Curtis |

Is $18500 OTD a realistic price for a 2.5S around NYC area? Thanks. |
