Mid, that's a really unspecific question! You really need to provide more details about the car you're looking for, and where you're shopping. Plus, there are a load of posts about prices others have paid earlier in this discussion, if you're only looking for a ballpark

The SE-R comes fully loaded they are very little options! The SE-R model actually specifies the options: leather, special suspension, auto climate control, xexon lights, Bose radio, heated mirrors, 18" alloy wheels, sun roof, power windows, remote entry, security package, gauge packages, 260 hp,high performance engine So the question is not that upspecific!!
 
Okay there are two major options you can add: side air bags with traction control ($800) and Sirrus radio ($400) Other than that there are olny minor options; floor mats, splash guards, protective kit ($70 emergency road & first aid).
 
So I ask the question again, what is a good price for a 2005 Code Red 6-speed SE-R with side air bags/traction control, Sirrus radio, floor mats and splash guards ?

How many of these cars are at dealerships already? I just read a review of this model in a car magazine. If it is so new you'll probably have to pay close to full MSRP and rebates are probably not on this model too. Some dealers may even try for more than MSRP by adding expensive packs like fancy wax jobs, pinstripes, alarms and ADM (added dealer markup).
The article guessed MSRP to be $30,000 including shipping.

Best deal I ever got on a new Nissan was 2/3 times MSRP with no dealer adds. A 33% discount on that car was a good deal. I've done bettter on Korean cars.

There are quite a few in Houston. I have been quote by one for $29,039 with the sideair bags/traction control($800), Sirrus radio ($400), floor mats ($150), splash guards, emergency kit ($70), and sun roof deflector ($90 which I asked if they could remove). MSRP was slightly above $31,000. The $29,039 seemed like a great price. However the salesman told me the 1% financing did not apply to the SE-R which I found by calling NMAC to be incorrect. The $1,500 rebate deos nopt apply to the SE-R but the 1% Tier 1 financing does.
 
I took it for a test drive and liked the exhuast sound hnadling and power. If you took off hard in first it seemed to scrub the tires and wouldn't immediately connect-up. I wasn't really a spin and squeal
 
The Bose stereo did not sound good at all. I have an old 5-speed 1993 Lexus ES-300 that has a much much better factory stereo.
 
What bothers me the most is possbile relaibility problems and resale. The automatic 2005 3.5 SEs are going for $5,000 off MSRP. If you buy the top-end of a series you are always hurt by discounts on other cars in the series.
 
Anyway , I want a trouble free fast 4-5 person car that will last 5 years without any trouble.
 
Should i go get the SE-R 6-speed or go for a Honda Accord Coupe 6-speed ?
 
Thanks for your input and have a great day,

actually the new 2005 altima has a higher resale value currently than the accord or camry - i read it in automotive news. you will not be hurt by resale value on this car - believe me!
 
the SE-R is one kick a$$ car...i'd look into one if i had the money - right now i have its baby brother, the sentra SE-R spec V...and i love it!
 
go for the altima, you wont regret it!

I just bought a used 2005 Altima 3.5 SE with the sport pacakge and ABS and all that for 20,900. It had 2400 miles on it. I was looking at a few 2003 2.5 S and 2.5 SL used at some places (CARMAX) and those were only 2k less and didn't have ABS but had 5 times the mileage at least. I think I got a good deal. I live in Chicagoland area.

It's a new 2005 2.5S with few options. The MSRP is $20600. I got it for $15988 after the $1500 rebate and $500 college graduate rebate. With 6% tax and license fee, the total is $17290 out of the door. Not sure why they are selling it at such a low price, it only has 50 miles.
