#7 of 510 Re: Versa Pricing [okcmitchell] by cjshow Jul 12, 2006 (10:23 am)
Replying to: okcmitchell (Jul 12, 2006 5:17 am) Hello, [okcmitchell]! 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) C.J.,   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.
#9 of 510 Anybody know if Canada will get the "sport" package? by maplesuga Jul 15, 2006 (1:50 pm)
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?
#10 of 510 Versa and Fit pricing by tgreenwood Jul 18, 2006 (12:12 pm)
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?

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 14, 2006 7:00 am) Silver Versa S, six-speed with the Power Package and floor mats = $ 14,360.00 out-the-door. Fair price but it would be nice to have had a few more dollars off. Picking it up today so I'll post soon in the gas mileage thread. Replies to this message: flightnurse (Jul 20, 2006 3:04 pm)

Replying to: wulfgar (Jul 20, 2006 11:49 am) $14,400 is a good price, now that includes all tax's, fees and crap that the dealer adds. again not a bad price....   Tony
#13 of 510 Dealers aren't discounting by bendupre Jul 20, 2006 (9:23 pm)
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 Replies to this message: flightnurse (Jul 21, 2006 9:26 pm)

Replying to: bendupre (Jul 20, 2006 9:23 pm) Ben its called CVT not XVT...   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
#15 of 510 my buying experience by drmarge Jul 22, 2006 (4:26 am)
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. Replies to this message: flightnurse (Jul 23, 2006 6:26 am)
#16 of 510 Good for you Tony by bendupre Jul 22, 2006 (8:12 am)
It's the Xtronic CVT. You're right. I was thinking I read XVT somewhere as a NISSAN trademark or something. CVT is generic term representing many different technologies of "continuously variable transmission" including torroidal designs and hydrostatic and hydromechanical. For a living I write service manuals for a hydrostatic transmission manufacturer. Right now the belt and pully style, originally developed for snowmobiles, is the only viable option for on-highway vehicles.   No one else who posted seems to have been able to swing a discount. I checked with several dealers in Iowa. Here they had just received their first orders of the cars and no one was wanting to deal. You're going to make your best deals right now on the 06 models. If there were an 06 versa, I would have bought that one. Best time to shop for a new car: End of the model year, end of the month. That's when dealers (and manufacturers) will feel the most pressure to move inventory.   'Round here manuy dealers will give you good will on your trade instead of deeply discounting the vehicle price. Which is basically what they did for me. They gave me $900 for a 96 sable with bad transmission so I counted that as a $900 discount. The car is headed straight for the junk-yard.   It looks like I'm very close to the end of my first tank of gas at 267 miles. I'm waiting for the light to go on to get a better idea of what empty is. I didn't fill the car, the dealer did, so I really can't tell what milage is on this tank. I always top off so the next tank will give me some real numbers.   Ben Replies to this message: flightnurse (Jul 23, 2006 6:30 am) voltronguy (Jul 23, 2006 7:50 am)
