Help w/Lease on 2007 3.5 SE loaded w/navigation CVT by adrienneu

Ok, I'm clueless when it comes to this game. I am being offered the following deal on a fully loaded 2007 3.5SE CVT with tech/nav package, spoiler..oh and the dealer tinted the windows (big deal huh?) haha
 
It is the dealer demo and has about 60 miles
 
$400 a month (includes taxes, charged monthly on a lease in NM - approx $30 - so technically a payment of about $370)
39 months
$2000 down
12,000 miles per year
 
Does this seem fair compared to what some of you are being quoted?
 
Thank you for ANY help you can give me!

CA, the low end by efis

I'm in Orange County, CA. I'm going tomorrow to buy a new 2.5S, with nothing but a convenience package and ABS. Pebble Beach gold and charcoal. No emergency kit, no splash guards. I don't know if floor mats are included but I can buy them aftermarket for $57, and my emergency kit is better than theirs already.
 
Price including destination charge, $20,399. Nissan of Orange. They beat the AAA and Costco car buying service price. I got the quote through the Edmunds service.
 
I'll post about my experience after it happens.

1) Dealer has a 270 miles on that car already. Is that considered as a demo?
 
2) Is it pretty common to find paint job flaw? On one, I find clear coat over a piece of dust at two different parts of the car.

270 is kind of on the edge. You could argue it and they wouldn't laugh at you, and you might knock the price down a little more. But don't be offended if they don't give you much (like, a hundred $)
 
It's VERY common. DON'T FIX IT. If you break the seal of the paint it lets the elements in underneath, they'll attack that point after a couple of years make it worse than if you'd let it be.

Thanks. Broke one already and I better touch it up. Sad!! Paint finish these days with cars below or border line $30,000 is just sad, large metal flicks, no shine, no depth, dirt, and just orange peel finish.

OK, it was a terrific experience.
 
The fleet salesman, at Nissan of Orange (california) was casual and knew his stuff. No pressure to upsell - they offered an extended warrentee, but since it was about $2500 to extend the 3 year factory to a 7 year, I passed.
 
They did include the (universal) floor mats. Everything else was as expected - convenience package and ABS. I'll do an emergency kit and first aid kit myself.
 
Out the door at $100 LESS than they quoted me on the phone - $20,299. With tax and title, $22234.16
 
The only thing I didn't like was they wanted a photgraph, and a thumbprint, they said to avoid Identity Theft. I'm OK with that - my dad's identity was stolen, and one thing the moron did was get a loan for a car in my dad's name. Idiot. It's the one thing in life that always has a paper trail and visibil ID on the outside. But I was paying CASH.
 
Which leads me to the thing I REALLY, REALLY didn't like. Before they'd take my check, they made me submit to a credit check - full SSN, referenes, all three . I was tempted to turn them down, and come back monday with an envelope full of 100's, but they claimed they had to do it per state regulations, to not take money from people who are laundering it.
 
I backed down, but I'm not happy about it.
 
The deal, though, I'm very happy with, and the car drives like a dream. 32 mpg so far.

2007 Altima 2.5 S by whitewanderer

Hi, I'm new to the car buying scene; I've always had older cars and only bought one from a lot when I was 15 (1992 Stanza w/85k miles). I have been doing research on the Altima, and I know it is the car for me. I went to a dealer today (in Milwaukee, WI) and spent about 5 hours talking, driving, and bartering about the price. This is the deal that they gave me:
 
2007 Altima 4 Cyl w/ CVT
+ Convenience Package (with power wheels, not the alloy package)
+ ABS
+ Floor Mats
 
The MSRP for the car from the info I have is 22435, which matches what the Nissan site gave me.
 
Their offer is 21199, without tax, title, license. The invoice price on Edmunds give me $19739, a difference of $1460.
 
Am I getting a good deal, or should I look for something sweeter?
 
Any help/insight would be most appreciated.
 
Thank you!

That's exactly the car and options that I bought this morning for $20,299. (See my post right above yours)
 
If you're an AAA or Costco member, use their car buying service, that will get you to about $20,800. I got an email offer of $20,600 from the Edmunds "multiple quotes" system.
 
But when I run that car and options through Edmunds, I get an invoice price of $20,910, and an MSRP 22,445. I'm in So. Cal., but I get the same thing when I enter a Milwaukee zip code. So I have no idea why the difference.

I got the same exact options on my Altima I bought last month. After giving my local dealership price quotes from other surrounding dealerships, they were able to offer me $21,000 + tax. The lowest price I received was 20,799 at a dealership about 2.5 hours away, but it was after I already signed at my dealership. I figured the time and expense it took to go get the car, it wasn't really worth it.
 
I think you just shop around by email with other surrounding Nissan dealerships and get their best Out-the-Door price and let them outbid each other.
 
Mine is super black with charcoal cloth interior. Love it!

Can you please tell be the name of the dealerships in Boston area you dealt with?
I am living 120 miles away from Boston and looking for buying a Nissan Altima 2007 2.5S and don't like to deal with Local dealer here. Currently driving 2005 Altima on lease from IRA Nissan, tried to talk to them through phone and they are not ready to give me any price through phone. They are asking me to visit the show room and I hate to be in a car dealership.
