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.

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!

Replying to: mazda6dude (Jul 07, 2008 12:05 pm) So with an Engine in the Accord being so strong as is, it would be nice to have a sporty transmission, but would the affect their mileage per gallon quota? I am not sure, but why not give the option! Who says a family car has to be boring? Sounds like the Altima and the Accord are stacking up quite high. All cars have their faults though.

But sitting on those black seats in the summertime can hurt I fear! I have a dark blue 08 2.5 SL with the blonde leather interior. So far, no cleanliness issues...but, I don't have any small kids...mine are grown. Up to now, no stains at all... |
