Replying to: fflintstone1 (Jul 04, 2009 7:43 am) What other options does your Versa SL have? I got my very own SL at end of June. My OTD price was $16000, after $3k cash rebate. It sounds like you got a better deal than me. Please share more of your buying experience at this forum. Thanks.

NEW VERSA S, INVOICE ~$12600, MSRP (with Destination Fee and Mats) $13910, Light Exterior, Dark Interior, Manual Trans: Dealer 1 $12,264 Out the Door-taxes, fees, transfer (OTD) - (in person) Dealer 2: $12.460 OTD (internet) - Had to 'locate' - believe it was a 'tactic' Dealer 3: $13,110 OTD (internet) Dealer 4: $13,200 OTD (in person) Dealer 5: $13,597.26 OTD (internet) Dealer 6: $14,567.42 OTD (internet) Range: ~2300 Median: $13,155 OTD Mean: $13200 OTD Conclusion: 1. Most dealer's INVOICE really is or slightly below the OTD price. 2. Higher volume dealers offer better prices. 3. Dealer's make money on: A. Difference in INVOICE minus MSRP B. Points on financing the vehicle 2% spread equals $311 or $250-$350 flat incentive (I think this is ALOT MORE) C. Holdback: 2-3% or $360 on $12K D. Dealer Volume incentives (manufacturer to dealer incentives) $300-1000/per car. E. Edmunds.com is an invaluable source of information F. August Rebates are the highest ($1250) 4. Figure out the highest volume dealer in the area, go to each; if each do not deal, play one against the other. 5. I did not 'do my deal' over the internet, but learned alot of information. Research Complete on August 8, 2009. SOLD! $12,264. NEW VERSA S, RED, Manual Trans, AC, RADIO/CD, No Power Package/Cruise Control. |

There seems to be a LOT of Versa Sedans in each of the Nissan Dealer's Inventory. If you are looking for one - wait...I smell a fire sale ahead.

Replying to: psgame2k (Aug 09, 2009 11:48 pm) I might have gotten a slightly better deal. I contacted four dealerships via email, and three basically dropped me right away after I told them what I wanted. I asked for the cheapest SL. I am not sure about the various packages, but I got floormats (which I thought I wouldn't, they might have just missed to remove them). There is a 6 CD changer with a aux port, cruise control on the steering wheel, and all power stuff. (Edit - it does not have ABS). Basically I shared my buying experience at my earlier reply. Let me know what specifics you would like to know.

Replying to: dfwversabuyer (Aug 10, 2009 4:46 am) They were pretty basic, no AC, no radio, etc. Still great price for a decent new vehicle with factory warranty. |

Replying to: fflintstone1 (Aug 10, 2009 9:26 am) thanks for the quick reply. Cruise control and power everything are standard on the SL model. Mine does have few upgrades. I got the convenience package, ABS package and splash guard. Convenience package adds Bluetooth phone call and starting the car without a key. However I don't think the added "convenience" is worth the $700 additional cost. Plus CA just raise sales tax fee months ago. MSRP was $18190; dealer price $17300; tax + all other fee is almost $2000; minus $3000 cash back, OTD actually $16300. What is the manufacture date of your SL? What color did you get? I really wanted a blue one

Replying to: psgame2k (Aug 10, 2009 11:15 am) ABS is probably worth something... wasn't a big deal for me since here in Central Cali it is usually dry. If you get into wet or snowy conditions I'd think I'd gladly pay more to get it. I didn't want the "convenience package"... So my "dealer price" was lower (16400). It's just a made up number anyway, resulting from what I told them I was willing to pay, minus fees, plus any incentives. I am not too concerned with the sales tax (1500 I think) since we should be able to write that off or get a credit next tax year. Dunno manufacturing date. I think they just made it in Mexi recently. I got the silver one. Was kinda in between the silver, platinum/gray, and light blue. Don't like the red and dark blue and black ones. White is kinda bleh, looks like a refrigerator. Decided on silver since it hides dirt very well, and doesn't heat up as much as a darker color. I still like it most after seeing more other colors on the road.

My kid got this color on her SL H/B with ABS and she just loves it. We had the windows tinted with the lightest tint and it looks really sharp. Don't personally care for the slowness of the CVT to get up to speed, a little longish if you ask me, but I just love the ability to just slide right over to get into the front seat and with my spinal issue, that's a great advantage. Getting into all our other cars, I kinds drop down into the seats which is very uncomfortable bordering on the painful. Nissan sure got the Versa drivers seat right. Otherwise, great car for the price and it just looks so much better than the Fit, inside & out. The Sandman
