Before I bought my car I lined up financing with my credit union and did research online. I came out the door paying $80 dollars over my goal, but now, I can't help but feel I did it wrong. I was trying so hard to do it right and by myself and not have to tote along some guy for back-up. Anyway, these are the numbers from my Buyers Order. The car I got was a 2007 Sentra 2.0 CVT, gray with charcoal int, power windows and door locks, and floor mats. I traded in a 1995 VW Cabrio in Fair to crap condition. The passenger mirror was busted up, the top had a seam that came apart, the car leaked, the upholstery in the drivers seat was disentigrating (foam was coming out), oil leaked, it had been in two wrecks (not my fault), and the car darn near felt like it was going to vibrate itself to death when it ran. Total Price of Unit: 15290.93 (this included the 625 destination) Trade: 1850 Fees: 489 Sales Tax at 6%: 835.80 Title Fee: 19 Georgia Warranty Act: 3 Rebate: 500 Balance Due: 14287.73 I have stole the print out of the vehicle detail sheet. The MSRP is listed as 16340 and Invoice is listed as 15672. Live near Atlanta,GA. They tried to get me to finance through Nissan, but the manager somehow messed it up and told me I could have something I couldn't and they tried to up it $500. He looked pretty pissed when the finance guy told him that I couldn't have it. He ended up just letting me bring the check from the credit union. So I atleast know they are loosing money because they don't get the back end money from the finance company. So, did I screw this up, get a good deal, or just come out ok? What should I do differently if I ever go through car buying again. I have a ton of things in mind, but would like other suggestions. |

Has anyone looked into leasing a Sentra SE-R? Can someone please post the lease terms for 24/36 months with 12/15K mi/year (residuals and money factor). |

Location: Empire Nissan, Ontario/Fontana, CA Trim: 2.0 Options: CVT, ABS, Floor Mats, Splash Guards, dealer installed spoiler Price: $14,618 +ttl Price above already includes $500 rebate for financing through NMCA, another $500 rebate, 0.7% 36 mo. apr financing, a $300 dealer discount (roughly equal to dealer holdback), and the $615 destination charge. If you're a recent college grad you could get another $500, but too bad I gradated a while ago. I negotiated everything through the internet using Nissan's request a quote feature from their website (contacted 2 dealers). There was no negotiating when I got to the dealer. Price was preset, I waited about 1.5 hours for a car wash and that was it. Total OTD price was just under $16,100. Keep in mind, tax varies and I had a 7.75% sale tax rate. CA title and license was $166, there was $55 doc fee, and $8.75 CA tire fee. I hope this info helps others get good deals. Keep in mind also, I got lucky that there were all these incentives and it was the end of the month when I purchased. Good luck.

Replying to: greanpea68 (Aug 01, 2007 2:27 pm) It should reduce it by several payments. Not just a couple. Sounds like something a salesperson would say.

Replying to: jason168 (Jul 30, 2007 10:07 pm) Trime: 2.0 Options: CVT, ABS, Floor Mats, Splash Guards, Side Molding Car Price: approx. $14,700 I got two $500 rebates as a customer incentive. 1.9% financing for 36 months. ( 0.7% expired 07/31/2007 ) Total OTD: $15,900 I submitted an offer ($16,100) through edmunds to several dealers; this one called me the next day and promised to beat my offer. After some negotiating, we settled on the price above. Tax here is 7.75% My goal was actually to beat jason168, and I can't believe I did it  . I'm still surprised at how flexible these prices can be. Another dealer was stuck on $16,800 OTD and would not negotiate any further. Good luck, I hope this info helps anyone looking for a good deal. |

Purchased my 2007 Sentra just a few days ago: 2.0 CVT ABS + floor mats/splash guards Super black w/charcoal interior. I walked out the door with $14,200 balance due. (including doc fees, $400, yes I think they were bogus too.) So the car price they gave me was $15,300 - $1500 in rebates (new grad rebate included) + doc fees for $400 = $14,200 Plus they gave me choice of color and went and found the car and brought it to the lot for no extra charge. I also went with the 36 month .7% interest rate. The kicker for that was the finance guy made a mistake and currently I pay only .07% (equals $15.32 over life of the loan!) I think Nissan will catch that eventually and I'll be back to .7%. Still, I think if you want a 2007 Sentra, now is probably a good time to get one and try and go at least $500 below invoice. Worked for me. Good luck. |
