Poor student wants a Sentra by johndagolfer

I need help deciding if this is a good deal from a dealer.
 
2000 XE I think, 49k miles, Manual Transmission, looks pretty good, drives pretty well
 
The asking price is 7400. I am thinking about offering 5 to 5.5K since taxes and used car fees are high
 
Thanks,
 
John

Gross Out car prices in Hawaii by radford

The Nissan sentras seemed like a good deal since they seem decent and since a new version is in the works , they are offering a 2500 rebate.
 
I look up the MSRP and the model someone I know wants. It comes out to 13,000 or so after rebate. I can see the inventory and MSRP prices
and the usual info at the local dealer websites.
However When I call up they tell me all the cheaper cars are sold and that they can get me another sort of close to the one I wanted but they sell their cars at $4000+MSRP !!!!! Come on! Thats over 19000 for a Sentra that everywhere else in the nation they are trying to get rid of. They even claimed they arent sure about the rebates ! But after 30 min he calls me back with the "good news" it does apply so its "only $16,700 net !!!
 
When I went to get the Mazda6 here - the first car I bought in Hawaii , no place would even touch MSRP except one and then after they promised a hassle free sale at the price agreed upon they added $600 for essentially a box of wax and carwash detergent.

Guys,
 
I just purchased a base, stickshift Sentra for $11,653 out the door (including TT&L and everything else). Has air, radio, floormats, mudguards, and I think that is it. No pw/pl/anti-locks/anything else.
 
Any idea how I did?
 
Thanks.

That doesnt seem bad at least seeing the prices at the region Im in. Hawaii - price gouging heaven. Maybe they just dont have the traffic so they have to have ridiculous prices but getting a car at MSRP is like --- WOW.
 
That was after rebate right? If its before rebate its spectacular.

NEVER dare to go to this dealership! it would be like feeding yourself to the wolves!
 
my husband and i had a terrible experience from them. they ripped us off BIG time!
 
we paid $8,000 more for a 2003 nissan sentra gxe a/t. had an apr of 22% from their own finacing co. we already gave them a $6,000 at that and our credit scores were already >670. good thing we have an account with a credit union so we had it refinanced after 3 gruelling months and had the interest down to 6%. (thank God!)
 
they did start with the infamous 4 sq worksheet. we tried bargaining for a lower monthly pmt bec. we told them we couldn't afford to pay much, but it didn't stop them for cold bloodedly victimizing us. the salesman who sold us the car even had the gall to tell us to give him a great feedback.
 
i guess my husband and i had the WORST car dealer experience. i hope no one would have to go through what we had. it was always a nightmare going there to have the regular maintenance. the past keeps coming back.
 
at least now, since we've learned our lesson the hard way with these salesmen, we'll just buy our next car through the internet, it's safer and easier.

2002 Sentra by dougd7

Went car shopping for my oldest daughter who will be attending community college (30 mile commute) in the spring. She currently drives a 89 Civic that has over 331K miles. Wife and I decided she should have a new vehicle. The Civic is getting up and mileage with some expensive repairs/maintenance due soon.
 
Visited several dealerships but ended up purchasing a 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE with 30K miles for $10,459.31 OTD including TTL. We put $800 down and are financing the balance for $250/month. Overall I was pleased with the deal considering our credit isn't great but not bad either.

Since your message did not concern pricing, I moved it to our regular Nissan Sentra discussion.

2000 Sentra GXE Auto by nw1997

Hello Everyone,
 
We were just offered a 2000 Sentra GXE, Automatic with 30K original miles. The previous owner had the windows tinted and installed a K-9 Passive Alarm. The vehicle was never in an accident, no rust, two minor door dings. The dealership had various recalls done, for example, various engine sensors and all four steel rims are new. Current owner had the front rotors replaced this year along with new breaks. We plan to purchase the vehicle mainly for commuting a 180 mile daily commute. Can someone offer their opinion on this vehicle? The vehicle is being sold for 6k.
 
Thanks for the input.
