You got a GREAT deal because you caught the dealer in one of those advertising scams they love to use. Unfortunately for them, it's hard to pull when they only have 2 Versa's on the lot. I think that very few people will be able to beat your price.
One of the current advertising tricks in New England is to say that a dealer has say 20 2006 Honda Civics for $9,995. IF you read the fine print at the bottom of the ad it may say that some of the cars are not new, some were loaners or employee cars and therefore may have several thousand miles on them.
Of course the most common trick is to offer a ridiculous price on a popular car, then below the ad, put just one STK#, meaning there is only one car at that price. No matter what time you get there, that car will have been sold.
Congratulations - you got a great deal just because you took the time to send an email. Chaulk one up for the consumer.

Did that price include the $605 freight charge?

sngwrtr: No scam in this case. Fact is that they only had 2 when they ran the ad....the one that I bought came in after the fact! So I really don't feel like it was a "bait and switch"...they really don't need to honor a weekend ad on a Monday concerning a different car...and fact is that most dealerships would have never honored something like this...
I am very pleased!
rcinmd: yes, including the destination charge!

not every mistake a dealer makes is a scam. the dealer stood by its ad and sold a car that wasnt part of the ad for the sale price. good for them! they could have just as easily said "no, that was not included in our sale, tough luck" and be done with it. hopefully bpechlaner, you'll refer your friends there as a dealership that stands by their word. the good guys deserve to get the business!
congrats on your versa btw!

That truly is an "astonishing" price right now without rebates, since it is actually under invoice by about $300. I can get the car for less than your price, but that is only because I can buy under the VPP plan (employee pricing), and not for all that much less. So I would say you got a heck of a deal.

Even though it apparently wasn't a scam, you have to feel pretty good about taking the time to write that email. After all they did turn you down initially. So that few minutes you took to send the email really paid off! At that price, plus the freebies, you paid $3,000 - $4,000 less than a lot of us. Again congrats!! I'm still a little shocked that they even had them advertised for $12,995. Here in New England, I haven't heard of anyone adding to the MSRP yet, but I do know that all of the dealers I checked out are selling at sticker.

Yes....I do feel good. I would have paid MSRP when it comes down to it. Got very lucky with this one. Did get the extended warranty though (7 years for 900 something) so I ended up there anyways. Kinda wish I had not gotten it (no, I wasn't pressured...just offered!) and bought some alloys with wider / better tires instead.
Nevertheless...I wouldn't have thought that I'd be happy with commuter car

Picking mine up on Friday hopefully from local Rochester (upstate NY) dealer.Spent 30 minutes trying to find the color and package I was looking for from other dealers as they only had 1 in stock.Eventually found one in PA. So with a web coupon off their own website this is what I got.
1.8 S 6 sp Man. Super Black / Beige
Power Package
Mats ( 150 for mats? rip off)
Splash Guards
$14,929. Thats the out the door price.Inclusive of new plates. I'm happy.Great Dealership.Very helpful.Of course I'm giving them 15 grand which probably has some decent profit built into it already.Anyway full tank of gas and fre oil changes for life..no strings attached. Would definately recommend em.. Vision Nissan in Webster NY
