I purchased my Altima in late June from a dealership in Dallas, Texas. The car is a 2.5S with the following: automatic transmission ABS & SAB/SCAB package spoiler five-piece floor mats mudguards interior wood trim convenience package I paid 21,700 before the property tax, which is an additional 1400. Lease payments of 260/month with 1700 down. I advise anyone interested in the Dallas area to stay away from Trophy Nissan. Many salespeople and managers were plain a-holes and no one at the dealership cared about anything besides making the deal. We were lied to and misled until after we had made the deal. If you value your money and your buying experience, go to another dealership like Bankston or Nissan of McKinney. The only reason I purchased from Trophy was because they were the only ones within 700 miles with the car I wanted. I regret my decision, though I am pleased with the car itself. I will guarantee you, though, that I will never do business at Trophy again. |

How does the car drive with the 4 cyl manual? How is the shifter/clutch feel?? I haven't seen any equipped this way, although have seen a few 3.5 manuals.

| I'm from Canada, can any of you U.S. Altama lovers help me? I was at my local dealer checking out the Altamas. They have several 05 models on the lot and are sold out of 04's. However, they do have two new 03 2.5s from over stock. Both are automatic, one has the convenience package. Both have less then 600 miles (1000 kilometers). I think I could make a real killing on a low price ,can any one suggest an offer price (In Canadian Dollars) I could give the dealer? I don't want to find out too late that I've paid too much for a "new" car that has already depreciated TWO years when I drive it off the lot. I wouldn't be suprised if the fluids in the engine are still original. If I do but one (the convenience pkg no doubt) what fliuds should I have the dealer replace? Could the brake lines dry out from, in reality, two years of outdoor storage? Thanks!! | |

This is the advice I always give to anyone pondering the purchase of a "brand new" one or two year old car: Don't. There is no way the dealer can discount the unit enough to make up for the monstrous depreciation you will encounter the moment you drive it off the lot. In addition, should you have an accident in one of these cars, you would probably need gap insurance to cover the payments if you financed most of the cost (I think gap insurance has a different name in Canada). If you want a bargain, track down a nice used 03 or 04. There are a bunch of them out there here in the states, and there should be a few floating around north of the border. If you are buying a new car, then buy one of the current model year editions. Here in the states the 05s have a $1,000 rebate. A much better deal IMHO. |

I purchased the 2005 2.5s with mats and wheel flaps(or whatever) had a sticker price on $20308. The newspaper was advertising for the mid $16000. I went with the newspaper ad for $16388. That included the rebate which they thought was only $500. Right before the deal was completed the sales manager stated there now is a $1000 rebate. My salesperson tried increasing the price by $500 but I told her the advertised price was $16888 before the $500 rebate. They then lowered the price to $15,888. I did not believe I could get such a dealer but they singed it and got that price . With sales tax and fees I got out for under $18k. The lowest price I have seen in the East Bay of California is $16,888
