#113 of 321 Re: Price with Tech Package? [jaydee49] by jaxs1 Jul 03, 2007 (4:10 pm)
Replying to: jaydee49 (Jul 03, 2007 3:02 pm) The Technology package may be somewhat difficult to get for now because there is an apparent shortage.   What makes that really bad, is that you will not get the price premium back at resale. Nav systems and other electronic gadgets do not do well at resale time. People will still want them, but they do not want to pay much for it on a used car and some will be scared away by potential repair costs.   You pay the extra cost of the options, plus lose discounting you would otherwise be able to get. Double cost. Then you lose more at resale. Triple cost.   You pay thousands more when you buy and only get hundreds back at resale after driving the car a few years.   You have to really, really want it.

Replying to: jaydee49 (Jul 03, 2007 3:02 pm) I tracked down my dealer by going through Costco, and their deal was something like $700 over invoice, which sounded pretty good considering Nissan is not supposed to be selling the hybrids in AZ yet. But they added on so many dealer mark-ups like wheel locks and pin striping and other nonsense that any advantage in pricing was lost. I was tired of shopping and I had driven 135 miles with the idea of leaving with a new car, so I did not get as good of a deal as I should have. I am not sure this will help you at all in making your decision. Replies to this message: jaydee49 (Jul 03, 2007 10:58 pm)

Replying to: auntieshoes (Jul 03, 2007 5:26 pm) Thanks for the help. There seem to be quite a few around here with the technology package. I know of 2 within 20 miles of me that have it with the color I want. I'm in no hurry, I might wait a couple months to see if the deals get better.
#116 of 321 I know your frustration. by emgr Jul 04, 2007 (6:21 am)
I am in Pennsylvania and drove the one hour into New York to order one in Jade with Tech package. I expect to have it by the end of July if not before.   Good Luck with your move. I was in no hurry either. I got mine for $2,300 below MSRP. which puts it about $700 over retail

Replying to: langjie (Jun 26, 2007 11:10 am) Thanks for the advice. I still haven't decided what I am going to do yet. I went ahead and ordered another car. They could not find the car I ordered anywhere else. It will be here in the beginning of August. The wrecked car is still being fixed. Apparently the factory in Smyrna, TN that makes these cars was shutdown for 2 weeks for Yearly Summer Maintenance. That sucks for 2 reasons. 1) Delays the delivery of the new car. 2) Delays the delivery of the parts needed to repair the wrecked car. According to a news article I read out of TN, the factory should be back up an running the week of 7/9. If anybody with inside knowledge could confirm that date, I would appreciate it. Also, does anybody know if the cars that start rolling off the line after the shutdown are 2008s or 2007s?   The dealer is starting to frustrate me. I've requested a loaner vehicle out of their used stock because I don't have a car right now. I happened to have sold my Jeep 2 days before my car was wrecked. They are only offering a loaner for 1 week. Why 1 week? If they can offer a loaner for 1 week, why not 2 weeks? Or whenever I take delivery of the car that I choose. So, now I'm having to pick which week is the most inconvenient week for me, and then maybe I'll get a loaner...It is their fault that the car was wrecked...ok maybe not, but its not mine. One of my friends told me that I should rent a car, hire a lawyer, and sue the dealer to recover the costs. That takes the game to a whole another level, and I really don't want to do that. I just want my freakin car!   I don't know if I will take delivery of the wrecked car. I'm going to go check it out, drive it, and see what they offer. If they offer something outstanding I will think about it, but if they offer something weak I will just wait. Plus, the longer it takes to fix the wrecked car the closer it gets to August, and the new car being here. Replies to this message: langjie (Jul 06, 2007 12:16 pm)

Replying to: happy_hybrid_1 (Jul 06, 2007 10:07 am) even if they say it's going to be there by the beginning of august, it might be mid august when you get your new car. I highly doubt they will give you a much better price for that car....really sucks it was in an accident
#120 of 321 Road service package by auntieshoes Jul 07, 2007 (7:34 pm)
The day after I got home with my hybrid, I remembered that no one had explained to me how the road service package worked, that I had read about in this blog and on Edmunds. My salesman told me that Nissan does not offer that, and that he was aware that the information was incorrectly listed on Edmonds.   Did anyone get any information at a road service program?   Also, I have terrible AM radio reception. Anyone else having that problem?

Replying to: jaydee49 (Jul 03, 2007 3:02 pm) Jaydee, I am in the Bay area and have been shopping for the tech package on the Altima Hybrid for about two months. $1,000 over invoice is the best offer I got out of Santa Cruz. The dealership with the most cars is Boardwalk and I have tried to deal on a tech package with them several times. Each time they would not move one the price even though the car I want is sitting on the lot, unsold for weeks.   If you would like, we could perhaps contact Boardwalk together for something like $500 over invoice. Maybe they would be willing to move on two cars as they do seem to have a lot of slow moving inventory. If I were them, I would want to get rid of these before the 2008s arrive.   Let me know if you are interested. marc_jianghotmail.com   Regards
