Replying to: flightnurse (Jul 12, 2006 7:45 am) Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Actually I did that through the internet, but they all said there was no car to sell at the moment. So I walked into one of them that had the car and had that kind of price mark up. I did not have the similar experience with Fit or Yaris. I could buy them for $500 below the sticker price. I will wait for one or two weeks to see what is going to happen to the price. |

Replying to: okcmitchell (Jul 12, 2006 5:17 am) You just bought my car! Ha, ha. I am looking to buy that exact model and color in NW ohio, but as of yet there are none even to test drive (only 2 dealers to choose from and I don't want to buy out-of-state for tax reasons). I do have a question about the red color: is it a metallic red and is it similar to the red available on the Murano (sunset)? Also, did you get black interior or the tan? Thanks -C.J.

Replying to: cjshow (Jul 12, 2006 10:23 am) The red is the "real" fire truck red, not metallic. I got charcoal for the interior, not tan. Feels and looks great. I sold my Scion xA, release series 1.0 on eBay to buy the Versa. Many similar qualities, but Versa is just enough bigger, smoother and more comfortable to suit me. 20,000 miles in the xA were much fun and very zippy, but the Versa will accomodate my golf clubs in the hatch and covered; Scion wasn't wide enough. CVT is going to take some getting used to. My first car in 15 years without a clutch. |

The Nissan Canada website shows things like foglights and sunroof as part of the "sport" package - but the "build and price" shows only the "technology" package available to add on - I'd love to get a sunroof, but the "salespeople" (they're not real salespeople, they're Nissan reps in one of the mall-shows that are going on right now) says that they're not availble. Anybody know if we're talking late availability or no availability? |

I live in the San Francisco Bay area and have driven both the Fit and Versa. I was going to by a Fit S at MSRP, then in 2 days all but 1 of 15 dealers I spoke with (none had one in stock) were marking the car up $2995-people are paying this for a Fit. I will not. I have since driven the Versa and want to buy one, but already the Dealer(s) are marking it up from $1500 to $3000. Again, why pay that price for this (well thought out) car, when a good deal of the attraction of both these models is the price point? |

The cars are just coming out. You aren't going to see wheeling and dealing right now. I can't beleive dealers think they can get 1-3K premium over sticker. I guess PT Barnum was right. I got a 1.8SL with convenience package and XVT, floormats for 16,905. Dealer said "the discount is built in" on this model... there's only $600 profit in the deal. Plus he just doesn't have to deal on his two only 07 Versas, he's trying to unload his 6 06 sentras. Basically I drove the car off the truck and into my garage. The sales guy had been telling people he had an SL coming in any day, but I just happened to be there when the truck pulled up. I was nice and let one of the salesman's other clients com in and drive my car while we were working up the sale. I drove the six speed 1.8S base model, then went and drove a Fit and looked at a Yaris, ate lunch and came back to buy the Versa and they were just rolling the 1.8SL off the truck. I drove the SL with the XVT and it was like driving a whole different car.  The XVT is a much better transmission than the manual or the automatic (although the four-speeds aren't out yet, I drove a Sentra). The manual seemed like it was geared too short for a six apeed. The six speed tacked 3700 at 80mph while the XVT will drop down to 2500 at 80 on level highway. I can see why it earns a higher MPG than the manual. Plus, it seemed like when shifting the six speed, the engine would race between shifts. I'm used to the RPM dropping off when I let off the gas and put in the clutch. It made shifting a little jerky. Granted I am a little out of practice driving stick (it's been at least 10 years since I owned one) but I think the "throttle-by-wire" was defective. Anyone considering the VERSA should strongly consider the XVT. It's worth the price. Don't get suckered into paying over sticker though. My guess is dealers will soon be swimming in these little tadpoles. Ben

Replying to: bendupre (Jul 20, 2006 9:23 pm) Btw, I paid 16,500 for my Versa SL with Convience package, Carpet kit and CVT. There are 2 type of buyers, one who wants something and don't care what is cost and the other are the informed consumer. The dealer invoice on my car was $16,256. Tony

There is only one Nissan dealer in the PA county where I live and they only had 2 cars, one manual and one with CVT. I paid the sticker price of $16905.00 for the one with the CVT(with convenience pkg. and floor mats). No negotiating here because I didn't have the time to go far for the shopping and I really NEEDED the car. I had no trade-in, no down payment. I literally drove the car off the lot without paying a single cent cash.
