i'm not sure if any company price will beat effective haggling and internet pricing and matching between various dealerships. look through some old posts and see what others, such as myself, have paid, and how we went about getting those prices. don't let anything bother you that you no longer have control over, i'm sure you did just fine. what options did you get, spash guards and body-color side moldings? anything else? what is your tax %? any other fees that you paid? can you provide a complete price breakdown for us? i think that will give everyone a better idea of what kind of value you got. without that info, it is really tough to provide a quality comparison.

I just wanted to comment on the speaker/amp going in and out. I noticed that when I try to listen to music with the volume up iwithin the last three or four digits of the loudest setting it will "clip" causing the music to sound much softer for a while. I believe this is Nissan's attempt to not overdrive the somewhat cheap speakers in the car. It makes me wish I had gotten the better stereo. The stereo is the only option I didn't get in my 08 SE-R.
I have the seat issue were it feels like it's moving a little when I stress it when the car turns and such; sorta like it might be missing a grommet or one of the connections isn't tight enough. I only weight 160lbs so it isn't like that should be too much for it to handle. I read this is a common problem.
I can now smell antifreeze every time I get out of the car. I hope its just a hose or fitting and not the radiator or water pump. I will be taking it in for them to have a look shortly.
Despite these small things I do love this car. The SE-R version has quite a bit more pep and I still get good mileage. It is the perfect mix of sport and practicality.

Thank you Marco, for your response. I have the 08 Silver 4 door 2.0 Sentra. Yes I do have a Civic as well, 06, 2 door Royal Blue. No, I did not know about upgraded Bose system, so I now must upgrade on my own (getting a Kenwood amp and 2 speakers this weekend) because the standard system is not good at all. At least not to my liking, anyway, since I have the Civic to compare sound to. Also had a 4 door Civic prior to this one as well, never an issue w/either of those cars. I will be getting a good deal on upgrading , and I am not taking out the factory radio. I shopped around a little and you are right, some audio shops were very high. I got an independent guy who has been in the audio biz for awhile, does it on his off days from the shop he works at, for about 1/2 the price of quotes I got. Send me your car space or email account so I can keep you posted. BTW, today, when I lock my car, the horn stopped beeping so now I need to try and figure out why that is happening!!

Thanks for your response. That's what mine does, too, I'm glad you noticed the sound issue as well. Dealership acted as if it were just me or the "songs". I knew it wasn't, but I got tired of trying to show them the issue, so I am spending my own money to upgrade the amp and speakers. They wouldn't do anything about it anyway so why bother? I agree about still liking the car despite the issues, but I could do without the added expense and aggravation, and makes me second guess my decision a little. Also spoils the new car buying experience when things such as these happen so early on in ownership.

I have got several quote recently,
Nissan sentra 2.0S 2008, auto, with ABS, MAT and Splash Guards and molding.
The dealer said that the price is around 14900. And OTD price is around 16300.
Is this a good price?
How much I should expect to get down to get the car?
