after 2 weeks of steady reading all i could find about versa/tiida and fit/jazz and finally test driving both i have decided on Versa. the salesman at nissan dealership gave me prices for the 2 versa models but something just doesn't seem right. I am hoping some one with some expertise can give me some feed back. Versa 1.8 S VOP package (no anti lock brakes) price out the door is 21'257. Versa 1.8 SL CVT out the door 23'000. I am in northern ontario and this is only nissan dealership, have been told to go to toronto where more dealerships can play with prices and give me some perks that i see many people getting. any help, advise would be greatly appreciated.

o.k yesterday stopped at 2 dealers.
 
Dealer 1: had 1 silver versa SL with no packages just floor mats. Mileage 255!. Was asking $16000. Little turned off by 255 mileage!.
 
Dealer 2: None available but promised to get any SL withing 3 days from states around. SL with convenience package for $16905. Non-negotiation.
 
Any suggestions....
 
By the way did anyone noticed that the front doors are long and pointed sharp edge corner, while opening/closing there is chance to run into our leg?.
 
Thanks,
Raja

Personally I think the convenience package+ CVT is worth the extra $905, plus you should get a car with lower mileage. Just make sure if you go that route that in your contract you specify a car with less than x miles and it has to be on the lot within 3 days. Otherwise the dealer might screw with you and take a month to find a car that has 300 miles! This would give you the option to walk away with your deposit back if they scrrew up.
 
Good luck.

I've had my Versa now for a month and I really do like it, everyday just proves to me that I made the right choice. The Convenice package has really spoiled me, the Inetlli-Key is SO NICE and the Bluetooth has REALLY spoiled me.. The CVT I think is what well come in all car in the next 10 yrs.
 
Regarding Dealer #2, they well deal, go to the fleet department or Internet department of your dealer, there you well get a better deal.. All dealers have them, I paid 16,500 for mine the first week they were released, that was $500 less then MSRP. Once supply start meeting demand prices well go down. Untill then, dealer well try and play hard ball but they well buckle when push comes to shove..
 
Regarding the pointed edge, the Versa has a 'edgy' design and I have never had a problem...

This RRaja again...
 
"For the silver versa SL with no packages just floor mats. Mileage 255, quote is $15,890. The tax $1039,License fee will be about $300 and document fee is $55. Thus total price = $17,285."
 
Note that this car has 255 miles, no convenience package. Wonder what you think on this deal.
 
I would prefer to have convenience package, low mileage but would if the price is a good deal...
 
is 255 miles a bad deal..
 
Thanks,

regarding the 255 miles, if its a big deal to YOU (since you are buying the car) then don't buy it... Regarding the Convenience package, I would HIGHLY recommond it to anyone who is lookin at the Versa SL, for $700 its a bargin...

Hold out for the convenience package. Try Tony's suggestion, but go online and search for dealers within x-miles (as far as you can afford to drive). Request quotes anf go with the one who has what you want and is the closest. I doubt you're going to get a deal like Tony's though. Seems like most people are being quoted/paying MSRP right now because supply is tight.

Ben, as I have said all along, if people just go to a dealership and speak to the saleman on the floor they will NOT get the best deal, but if they call first and talk to someone in the fleet or internet department, they will get a much better deal.

I bought my car from the "Internet Sales Manager", but I walked in off the street with no prior contact. I did call one other dealer 45 miles away and got him to quote me $100 off MSRP, but they didn't have an SL in stock yet. When I went back to buy later that afternoon, I was able to negotiate my trade from $500 up to $900 so in the end the deal netted out less than where we started.
 
The dealer where I bought my Versa is a small dealer in a small city, which by the way, all the dealers in this city have a reputation for not negotiating. It's why we bought our Quest from the dealer 45miles away. But in this small dealership, the "internet Sales Manager" is just the youngest kid on the floor who knew a little more about computers and e-mail than all the other old geisers.
 
I think the higher up you go on the food-chain the better you're going to be treated, so Tony's strategy probably has merrit. It just didn't yield anything in my case. And I think overall supply-and-demand economics are going to dictate the prices on this vehicle for now.

Hey Ben, living in the 6th largest city in America I guess has merit it too. The dealer I deal with has a large staff in the "internet department" which works out well. We have 6 or 7 Nissan dealers here in Phoenix, so I guess that helps too.
