Replying to: Car_man (Nov 11, 2008 4:29 am) From a purely financing point of view, Toyota had better deals in October (and, I think, still now in Nov.), and I did indeed look at Camry. However, both my wife and I just liked the Altima a little better. It had a certain little extra 'youthful-ness' to it's design. She thought the Camry seemed really 'middle-aged'. Perhaps it's us trying to hang on to some little edge as we're now 41 and 39, with two little kids...I guess we ARE middle-aged! LOL! This, of course, was just a personal thing and shouldn't reflect on anyone else's decision-making. |

Hi Car Man, Can you post the November MF and residual rates for the 2.5S 4 DR Altima, 36 and 39 month, for 12K and 15K miles? Also, can a "cash to customer" rebate be used to bring down the Capitalized Cost? Edmunds states their is currently a $750 rebate. Does the dealer keep this rebate on a lease? Thanks!

Replying to: riskiad (Nov 17, 2008 4:58 am) Unfortunately, the $750 customer cash that is available on '09 Altima Sedans right now is not compatible with the above special lease program. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |

Replying to: Car_man (Nov 10, 2008 6:13 pm) I finally got around to writing up a dealer review for both Walser Nissan and Walser Toyota and posted them in the dealer ratings and reviews section. Thanks again for all your help! careyd

Replying to: riskiad (Nov 24, 2008 5:35 pm) If it is not in lieu of an acquisition fee I submit that they can afford-especially in this economy-to sell the car at invoice. They still make 2% holdback at a minimum, plus any subsidies Nissan may decide to send their way. My deal was for $3 under invoice. FWIW, CareyD

Replying to: careyd1 (Nov 24, 2008 5:48 pm) Unfortunately the dealer fee was in addition to the acquisition fee. I've been to 3 different dealers and can't get them to sell the car at invoice. Any suggestions on how best to do this? Thanks!

Replying to: riskiad (Nov 24, 2008 6:31 pm) If you have a valid quote from somewhere else that's cheaper as leverage that was lower it might help. My deal came via a one-price dealer and that was their offer, so I pretty much had to take it or leave it. From the sound of it, your dealer is pretty firm. Perhaps the best leverage is to get numbers on a Camry, the Altima's #1 competitor in the class. Use that as leverage against the Altima? Toyota is running very favorable lease rates right now (better than Nissan), so it's worth a shot as leverage. If you look over my posts you'll see we considered Camry as well but liked the Altima better. Nevertheless it's perhaps a leverage thing. Frankly though, I'm shocked that in this terrible sales climate they all wouldn't be hungry enough to move on it. I bet you get to the end of the month and you'll have more leverage (then they get worried about their unit counts). All I can say beyond that is 'Good Luck!'. BTW saving $595, all other things being equal, should lower your payment roughly $18. (based on the $30 per thousand rule of thumb). CareyD |
