That's correct. I got a quote from another dealer for $20K flat before tax/license/etc.
 
I don't know if timing makes any difference, but we got our car at the end of the month. Maybe if you can wait til month-end, you can get a better deal (when the dealers have to meet their quotas)?
 
Good luck!

You made a mistake on (2). The MSRP is $23,490 or something like that, the INVOICE is $21,638 including destination charge or $21,043 without. I got my SE V6 at the end of the month for $543 under invoice ($20,500 + destination). If the incentives are now $750 for dealers you should be able to do at least that well.

It still feels less well-built inside than my Accord does after over 70,000 miles. Buttons that wobble around in their holes just drive me insane.

Yeah, in the stereo/aircon controls. Didn't feel as solid as the Accord.
 
May have been a fluke, but Nissan doesn't have the best rep for interior quality, so I felt like it was going to be the norm. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong, since competition only helps the consumer.

Hmmm, they must save all the quality for the accord. I bought a civic new a couple years ago, and I must say; I'm very unimpressed with the quality, interior that is. True, it has primarily knobs and not buttons,(not that i've ever noticed a wobbly button) but the rest is quite lacking. all the trim seems to be very loosly held in place, and of a quite flimsly material, and the cloth material on the door fell off, and all but the ex trim comes with a cassette player. Just cleaning it makes it apparent how poor the interior is. I get the feeling I could easily remove everything with just my hands. Not that I'm complaining about the car, it runs great is very reliable and gets great milage, but i just can't help but to get that "budget car" feeling from it. Perhaps the Accords offer much better quality, but for the price you pay for one, you could probably buy a maxima.

The Accord IS higher in quality than the Civic (my dad has a 2007 Civic, I have a 2006 Accord - both EX models).
 
Not sure what price you are talking about, unless you can get Maxima's for $24k - the price that EX-V6 Accords can be had for. V6 Accords start around $21k I believe. They are approx $750 below invoice with a factory to dealer incentive. Not sure the Maxima offers the quality you are looking for...LOTS of plasticky plastic (if you know what I mean).

Have you ever actually driven a Maxima?? Go check out an '07 and get back to us. It's an amazing car.

Yeah, I have cousins who drive nothing but Nissans, so I get exposure to them regularly (usually the Maxima, actually). Between the 06 Altima and 06 Maxima they drive, I had reached the conclusion that my buddy's '97 Maxima has better interior quality.
 
I've only sat in the 07s, not driven, but I couldn't tell a great big difference. I had only a limited time in them though, so I'm a little reluctant to stand by a statement about the 07s yet. I need another go in it. The 2006 Maxima felt pretty cheap (while having nice features).

Well, I do know they were supposed to have improved the interior dramatically between the '07s and the '04s-'06s. I'm not all that familiar with the '04s-'06s, but I did check out an '07 and it's REALLY nice. I'd love to replace my '03 with one, but wifey just bought a new minivan.
