Car_Man, Can you tell me if this deal is good or if I should push for a lower price? Do I have room to bring down the down payment? Altima 4Dr 2.5 w/ SL, Connection, Convenience, and Convenience Plus package. MSRP $27,350 Sale Price $25,995 (Invoice + 595 dealer fee) Residual $16,653 (61%) MF .00174 12K Miles 36 Months $1250 out of pocket/down payment (includes 1st monthly payment) $354/month Thanks!

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 |

Car Man, Is there a difference in these #'s from the 2.5S and the 2.5 SL? I haven't been to a dealership yet to get #'s but wanted to know what to look for in their initial offers. Here's what I'm expecting based on what I've seen in this thread: 36 months 15k miles .00174 money factor 60% residual 36 months 12k miles .00174 money factor 61% residual Is that information accurate through EOM?

Hi! Can I get some information on buying an Altima rather than Leasing. The other forum did not have much activity, so I wanted to try here. I was given an invoice price as 22,000 for a 2.5 Altima S with Conv. package. After a trade-in (2500), including tax and a little bit of negotiation, I have it down to 20,800 total. I don't know much about dealer holdback or incentives. Is this a good deal or do I need to try harder. I live near West Chester, PA (outside Philly). Thanks.

Hi! I currently have an 06 Altima for which the lease will be ending soon and there are a few things I am wondering about the end of lease inspection. First, will the inspector want to look at anything other than the car, like service records? I recently moved and am having trouble finding some invoices for oil changes. Also, I was recently rear-ended and my car received substantial damage to a quarter pannel, which needed to be cut out and replaced. If repaired properly will this have any affect when turn in time comes? Thanks!
