#300 of 321 How do you decide to buy? by carteach May 17, 2008 (7:30 pm)
I own a '06 Acura TL with 20 K miles on it. I got it at the end of the season for $28,300. I bought it for it's peppy engine and the Acura reliability. My original thought was to keep it "forever."   Now that gas has hit $4.00/gallon, I'm wondering whether it pays to sell the Acura and buy a hybrid. I'm especially concerned because I drive about 50 miles a day and now hear that in a year or so gas could be $8/gallon.   Looking for some feedback.

Replying to: carteach (May 17, 2008 7:30 pm) All I can say is that every time the price of gas goes up, the price return on a Hybrid is quicker. It's is like going to Vegas. You place your bet and see how the wheel lands. I bought my O8' last fall and tickled with it. I also loved the Acura and have driven several long distances. Probably my favorite car for ride and performance, but I would place the NAH second in a snap. It's what I can afford to drive.   Judging the way you wrote your question, your having to make the same decision.

Replying to: malttese33 (May 16, 2008 9:33 pm) depends on what area. if it's the exhaust system, it's normal to get some rust. if it's the body, you should go back to the dealer
#303 of 321 altima hybrid maintenance? by ryanwade May 20, 2008 (2:43 pm)
I AM IN THE MARKET, AND REALLY LOVE THE NEW ALTIMA HYBRIDS. I WISH TO BUY ONE, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DOESN'T RECOMMEND ME BUY ONE-B/C THEY DO NOT SERVICE THEM. I AM ALMOST 500 MILES AWAY FROM A DEALER THAT CAN SERVICE THEM.   WHAT MAINTENANCE (THAT I COULDN'T GET FROM SOMEONE ELSE) IS REQUIRED OF A NEW ALTIMA HYBRID? IM AFRAID IM GOIING TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR, THAT I CANT HAVE SERVICED! Replies to this message: langjie (May 21, 2008 5:09 am) stevedebi (May 30, 2008 10:21 am) emgr (May 30, 2008 12:27 pm)

Replying to: karolpl7 (Jan 14, 2008 6:04 pm) Karol, I also live in the NY/NJ area. I am currently negotiating prices for an NAH with tech pack. What deal did you get and in what dealer? Also, do you find the navigation system worth it? I was thinking of getting a regular GPS like a TomTom or Garmin instead, I'm not sure if the other functions of the navigator are really that useful. What do you think is best and worst within the Tech Pack? Thanks for your feedback!

Replying to: ryanwade (May 20, 2008 2:43 pm) it's not really the maintenance that is the problem, anyone can do that. it's just in case you have any problems with the car, that's when it will be tough.   so you've checked every dealer in the area?

Most car manufacturers won't allow a dealer to sell a car unless they can service the vehicle. Are you sure they can sell you a hybrid model? Perhaps they just blowing smoke in your face, trying to get you to buy the normal version?   You might consider the Toyota Camry Hybrid (for a similar size), or one of the other hybrids from Honda or Ford.

Replying to: stevedebi (May 30, 2008 10:21 am) The dealer in a state that can't order the hybrid directly, can trade with a dealer in another state who can. He can then sell you it, but he probably doesn't have a Nissan Hybrid Certified Mechanic.   I live in PA but bought mine at a dealer in New York 45 minutes away. Not really a bad drive.
#308 of 321 AC Function and Acrid AC Smell by nmacmill01 Jun 10, 2008 (2:02 pm)
When changing the air flow from top vents to floor, or vice versa, the fan cycles down, then back up. Normal?   I also have a slightly chemical smell when using the AC.   Any ideas?   Thanks Replies to this message: langjie (Jun 11, 2008 6:22 am)
#309 of 321 Re: AC Function and Acrid AC Smell [nmacmill01] by langjie Jun 11, 2008 (6:22 am)
Replying to: nmacmill01 (Jun 10, 2008 2:02 pm) I never notice the fan cycling down, it could.   Is it a different smell than any other car you've been in? Mostly this is due to moisture in your vents and you get to smell the funkiness as the water evaporates
