Black on black. Loaded with all options minus, spoiler, xenon headlights, and "wood" trim. Was previously driven by salesman, ALL highway miles, 66k, to be exact and installed aftermarket XM radio, which is very nice. Paid $13,500. According to Edmunds, I got a really good deal, but when looking up on kbb.com, appears it was average, but kbb doesn't allow to select all available options?? Comments.....

That is a phenomenal price! I've seen $16988 for a 2005 Altima 2.5 (not the 2.5 S) Manual transmission, but they usually only advertise one car at that price to bring people into their dealership. At least they made good on the newspaper ad.
 
I've been looking for a 2005 Altima 2.5S Automatic and the prices I've been quoted were $18,500 + tax, title, fees. I'm going to purchase a vehicle by the end of the month, so I'll let everyone know what kind of pricing I can get.

Is that price for new or used? I just purchased an 05 2.5S last night, used but with only 182 miles. Sticker was $18,995. The final was $17,775+TTL. I didn't get an owner's manual, and the tank was on E. I had to drive straight to the gas station!

The prices I got ($18,500 USD) for a new 2005 Altima 2.5S Automatic was before TTL. I've been getting OTD (out the door) prices of $20,000-$20,500 before the rebate AND apply the 2.0% finance, or $19,000-$19,500 AND $1000 rebate "WITHOUT" 2.0% financing.
 
My tax is 8.1%, $299 doc fee, and $350 plates. Some other dealerships have been trying to add tint, pin striping, perma clear scratch preventative, window etching, and other nonsense for about $200-500 per option but I'm looking for a stock 2.5S without all of the non essentials.
 
Depending on how soon you pay off the vehicle, the $1000 rebate may be worth more than the savings in interest. However, taking the 60 month 2.0% financing on $20,000 only accrues $1033 over 5 years, and such low APR on a long term loan usually comes out cheaper than the $1000 rebate. It's best to figure out which gives you the greatest savings:
 
Interest on 20,000 loan 60 month simple loan:
 
1.0% = $512
2.0% = $1033
3.0% = $1562
4.0% = $2100
5.0% = $2645
6.0% = $3199
7.0% = $3761
8.0% = $4331
9.0% = $4910
10.0% = $5497
11.0% = $6091
12.0% = $6694
 
Based on that table, it seems like any financing below 4.0% (3.878% APR to be exact)for the 60 month term is about equal to taking the rebate. If you shorten the loan term, then that's a different story:
 
12 month 2.0% APR on $20,000 is equivalent to 12 month 11.051% APR + $1000 rebate.
 
24 month 2.0% APR on $20,000 is equivalent to 24 month 6.67% APR + $1000 rebate.
 
36 month 2.0% APR on $20,000 is equivalent to 36 month 5.135% APR + $1000 rebate.
 
48 month 2.0% APR on $20,000 is equivalent to 48 month 4.352% APR + $1000 rebate.
 
60 month 2.0% APR on $20,000 is equivalent to 60 month 3.878% APR + $1000 rebate.
 
For example, I got financing from my bank 3.99% APR for 60 months, but I'd be better using the 2.0% financing from NMAC on a $20,000 car loan.

2.5 S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 4A) (2005), with convenience package, fog lights, splash guard, and floor mats. Dealer is quoting $20,380...I think it is high...though it is what Edmunds is quoting for this area (this includes the $1000 deduct for the rebate. Is this a good price?
Thanks!

I think you can still get it cheaper. Check with carsdirect.com and get the dealer to pricematch what they have on their site. Carsdirect shows $19,645 for a similarly equipped car..though Im not sure if the cost also pertains to your city. I was able to get my car for $17947 (2.5s, auto,floor mats, splash guard) Price includes $1,000 rebate. Works out to be a total of $1,100 under invoice.

Hi---- I checked with CarsDirect.com (thanks for your advice) and their price is $19,249 for this area. Whew! Will definitely ask the dealer to pricematch what they have on their site. Did your car include the convenience package for $17947? If so, I will try and go lower. Will let you know what happens. Thanks again.

For 17947 I got the 2.5 s automatic with only floor mats and splash guards. I called carsdirect.com first. I found out the closest dealer they had to me was about 175 miles away...too far for me to drive unless I saved alot. I would suggest you call your local dealership first. Speak to their internet sales manager....they seem to be able to give the best deals. I worked my deal over the phone.
