Replying to: altimrs (Jul 06, 2008 4:26 pm) . I'm sorry to hear about the new cell phone law in California. The 2.5 SL's w/ connection pkg is fairly rare by itself, but seeing as bluetooth could be a huge asset now, it would make them pretty difficult to find. I bet this is the last generation of cars that bluetooth is a high-grade option. Next generation, it will more than likely be mainstream technology due to demand for it. I would also be willing to wager that there will be more 2009 Altima SL's due to the inclusion of bluetooth. Nissan/Honda/Toyota needs to capitalize on these markets due to demand for technology like this.

I really want to buy that Nissan. I am thinking the price will only go up for the 2009 for this package and no rebate. I cannot see the advantage of waiting. It is the right color and has everything I want. This car was selling about $1000 cheaper in June but now they are as scarce as hen's teeth. Do you think I should go ahead and make the plunge or is there some advantage in waiting that I haven't thought about?I figured you were from the south with a name like mad pistol...plus the good price for the car! Thanks again partner.  Btw what color/interior/year is your Altima and how do you like it so far? Bye for now. |

Replying to: altimrs (Jul 06, 2008 8:03 pm) Maybe its because they are made in Mississippi, or maybe there are differences to CA cars that increase their prices significantly. I purchases a 2.5SL in January (fully loaded with all options) and couldn't be happier. Good luck! |

Replying to: altimrs (Jul 06, 2008 8:03 pm) Yes, if you need the car now, you should buy it now. The '08 might get a little cheaper in another 1 or 2 months but you might not be able to find the exact car you want. I don't think you will see a big incentive on the '09 until Feb. or March of next years.

Replying to: altimrs (Jul 06, 2008 8:03 pm) I own a Silver 2008 Altima 2.5 SL w/ Connection pkg. It's only available with a black interior (very sporty and luxurious looking.) I purchased it in late April and have put over 5000 miles on it. It's driven like a dream so far. I'll even admit that I liked the '08 Accord EX quite a bit, but I think the Altima is a better car this generation. Assuming you get a good price on it, it's tough to beat. You can always get a Sonata for about $3k less, but this car is so much more fun on the road! Let us know what you come up with. If you can't get the Nissan dealer to drop the price down below the Accord, either go to another Nissan dealer (if that's even possible), or buy the Accord. Both the Altima and Accord are fabulous cars this generation.

Replying to: altimrs (Jul 07, 2008 7:08 am) Haha, nope, I just try to share my opinion here. If you like to trade in cars within 2 or 3 years like me, getting '09 is not a bad idea.

Replying to: madpistol (Jul 07, 2008 8:36 am) Big brother keeps telling me I will regret the blonde leather because I will alway be cleaning it. But sitting on those black seats in the summertime can hurt I fear! Anyway I admit, it is a nice look. I will keep you posted. So happy you are enjoying your Altima!
