#61 of 2422 I'm picking it up tomorrow by orda1 Sep 18, 2002 (2:33 pm)
I purchased a 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE 5 Speed Sheer Silver today but the dealer doesn't have the Silver Color that I wanted so they are going to get it from another dealer. They had me drove the Mystic Green Altima home while they keep my trade in till tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get it by then. The only options that the car has are micro-cabin filter, splash guard and floor mat. They gave me the car with a drive out price of $22,500.00 tax included. Good luck to all!

#63 of 2422 Think I overpaid by dsoffera Sep 19, 2002 (6:07 pm)
Please someone help!! I fif tons and tons of research for the Altima S with convience package, automatic, fog lights, splash guards, mats, and filter (this is for the 2003). I walked out of the dealership with a price of $20,713. Is that a fair price? It's 1000 under MSRP but $300 more than I wanted to spend. I paid $175 for Sealant and wheel locks. I have a 1993 Honda (142,000 miles) and they gave me $1200.00 to cover the cost of the tax and tags (as per my request). Did I pay too much?? I can change my mind b/c I only put a deposit down. Help me!!

If "sealant" is paint sealant, then it is wholly unnecessary. Don't pay for it. And a set of wheel locks should cost no more than $30. www.nissanwholesaleparts.com has genuine Nissan wheel locks for $20 before shipping.   Check Edmunds TMV and CarsDirect for pricing info. They will be able to give you an idea of Altima pricing in your area.
#65 of 2422 '03 Altina SE Price by cyril1 Sep 26, 2002 (6:31 pm)
Just picked up my silver SE (5 speed) with premium leather, ABS, side sills/guards, mats, filter. MSRP was $28414. I picked it up for $26500. Also traded in 90 Accord junker for $1000, so cost was $25500 + tax and minor fees. So far I am a satisfied buyer.
#66 of 2422 '03 Altima 3.5 SE price by jtoneal Sep 28, 2002 (12:56 pm)
Just sealed the deal on an '03 3.5 SE automatic with just a few options (floor mats, air filtration, side seals, splash guards). Had an offer from a competing dealership of $500 over invoice going in, so the dealer knocked it down to $300 over invoice right off the bat. I told him I really didn't need the air filtration, side seals, or splash guards, so I got him to shave off an extra $289 (still got to keep the extra options), making the total $22,500 (plus TT&L). I couldn't negotiate my way out of the national advertising charges, but I felt like I got a decent deal overall. I bought from Gerald Nissan in North Aurora, IL (west Chicago suburbs).

Hope you enjoy the car, it sounds nice. I was sorry to see the dealer got you for 1 of the 2 padded add-ons. It seems those bogus options and phony ad fees are keeping the dealers in profits until more car shoppers walk out. It's coming soon, as it's a buyers market now with consumers tightning their belts and sharing their buying experiences on the internet. With, of course, the great help from EDMUNDS.
#68 of 2422 2003 2.5S by njaltimadriver Sep 30, 2002 (8:30 am)
Just paid $18,300 all in (before registration and taxes) for a 2003 2.5S with filter, mats, splash guard, and mirror with compass/auto dim (Pewter with Charcoal). Final price was $18,100 but couldn't negotiate out the dealer fees of $199.
#69 of 2422 2002 Altima 3.5 SE V6 (Auto) - Los Angeles by ultima Sep 30, 2002 (9:03 am)
I bought back in March, 2002 (Los Angeles, CA).   Got a Silver 2002 Altima 3.5 SE V6 (Auto) with side/splash, microfilter, floor mats, single-CD (i.e., not the Bose), and had the dealer put in TWO-TONE (ala Lexus) "aftermarket" Leather (MUCH better than the factory leather, and less expensive).   Total Price Paid (AFTER tax, lic, etc.) was only $25,200... Had the Dealer back-in to the price.

After doing my homework up front on pricing and option costs I went to the design and build section of Nissandriven.com. Put in all the options and did a dealer inventory search for the car I wanted.   After printing out a list of cars at dealers, I sent each dealer an e-mail and a fax indicating interest in a car.   Got responses and a "Feel" for the dealers lowest price. Most ranged in the $ 750 to $ 1000 over invoice. Some wanted Ad charges as a part of the over invoice cost.   I tried to work with my local dealer here in PA but they parked on a $ 500 ad charge and $ 250 over for a total of at least $ 750.   I found a dealer in the Philadelphia area who had the exact car and wanted $300 over and no Ad charge. The sales manager faxed the invoice to my office and in 10 minutes we had a deal. They offered to meet me "Halfway" and I picked up the car and signed the papers in a parking lot off the interstate.   My wife got to drive home and was very happy.   The dealer was super to work with and no hidden fees or agendas. I would highly recommend them. Concordsville Nissan in Philadelphia PA.   (Call the sales manager Fred) Their dealership info is on the Nissan site.
