Replying to: langjie (Mar 22, 2007 6:19 am) I actually have two kids, but in theory we should be ok for AMT since my wife is currently on maternity leave.   You'd be surprised how hard it is to find the car that I want here in northern NJ. I searched inventory five nearby dealerships and among them, only one has just a single model with the Convenience Package. I am now working with another nearby dealer to obtain what I want from somewhere else, most likely NY. As usual, everyone wanted to sell me the car off the lot, even going as far as saying they could only get me a hybrid off the lot for $1000 above MSRP. What nonsense.   If all else fails, I'll just try CarsDirect. It's been a great negotiating tool so far.

no, if all else fails, drive to massachusetts...we have loads and loads of them on the lots with convenience package (give or take aluminum kickplates and sunroof deflectors)   i'm getting $1500 off msrp for mine, i know someone else getting it for about $2000 off. mine hasn't arrived yet and i think they just bought it off the dealer.   i think it's worth it to drive 200-300 miles to get the car that you want. just search our inventories.... www.claycars.com and www.quirkcars.com and www.iracars.com   LOADS OF THEM!!!!!! between those dealerships, there are about 50+ in stock   i'm buying my car from clay through this dealer named Jeff Craig. you ought to email some of these places to see what they can do Replies to this message: bogdan (Apr 10, 2007 6:50 am) langjie (Apr 10, 2007 8:01 am) bogdan (Apr 10, 2007 6:12 pm) and 3 more...

Replying to: bogdan (Mar 21, 2007 7:28 pm) The 2.5S uses hydraulic power steering and the hybrid uses electric power steering. Reason is the engine shuts off from time to time. Wouldn't be good if it relied on hydraulic PS running off the ICE. Also the AC uses the engine in the 2.5S and an electric motor off the "traction battery" in the hybrid (same reason as above).   I just checked online here in Edmonton Alta Canada, and two dealers have one hybrid each. Black with black int. and cloth seats. Will have to go and check them out. I think if I got one it would be the ivory int. Don't like black int. - they get way too hot in the sun.
#45 of 321 Bay Area/Northern CA Shopping Experience? by igh Apr 02, 2007 (2:53 pm)
Anybody bought this car recently in the Bay Area/Northern CA area?   I am in the market for one with the Tech package. The cars are in extremely short supply and the dealers are asking for 1K-2K markup over MSRP.   Carsdirect is quoting 30914 which is about 1400 off MSRP.   What is the real deal out there?

Replying to: langjie (Mar 06, 2007 9:12 am) langjie - I noticed that you are on a forum over on hybridcars.com too, and that you ordered your NAH. Have you received it yet? I really want one in Sonoma Sunset with the Blond Leather Interior and the Technology Package. I checked the inventory of every dealer in every state that sells the car, and I couldn't find one matching this description. How do you go about ordering one? My dealer here in CA is giving me invoice pricing, and I have them looking for one for me, but I'm betting they aren't going to find the one I want. These cars with the Tech Package are so rare. I'm wondering if Nissan is limiting production or slowing it down to see how the one's that are on the lot are selling. Or if they possibly met their "quota" for the CAFE standards already, and they don't need to sell anymore.

my car finally came in today, i'm going to pick it up tomorrow. The tech package cars are really rare, the sales manager told me yesterday that nissan cancelled the orders of altima's with tech packages because of a shortage of navi units. i know the dealer i'm dealing with also has a green NAH with tech package.   ordering a car would take 6-8 weeks assuming there isn't a shortage in navi units.   you can do your own search but i really doubt you will be able to find the exact car you want. but the target MSRP price you want is 32,365 or 32,625. so just look for that Replies to this message: igh (Apr 09, 2007 1:22 am) lightshybrid (Apr 09, 2007 3:58 am) igh (Apr 09, 2007 12:32 pm)

Replying to: langjie (Apr 06, 2007 7:39 am) Finally got a silver one from Stockton Nissan (drove 80 miles to get there). Tech package + floor mats for 300 over invoice.   Could get no deal or preferred color in the Bay area.   I am overall happy with the car but made the switch from an Acura TSX - obviously a different kind of car, more nimble and compact. Also interior was plusher. So some adjustments for me.   I could not find a way to display mpg, range etc in the Navi. Anybody know how to do this? The dashboard info toggles between mpg meter, mpg, temp, range etc. Isnt there a way to get all of these on single screen in the navi?

Replying to: igh (Apr 09, 2007 1:22 am) Getting mine this week with tech also. Just wondering, did your phonebook sync with the bluetooth? Can you have two phones in the vehicle and both receive thru the car? I know only one at a time. Long time warming up?   Thanx Larry Replies to this message: igh (Apr 09, 2007 12:32 pm)

Replying to: lightshybrid (Apr 09, 2007 3:58 am) I have only one phone and it did sync with the navi. Phonebook part I did not checek but I was able to send and receive calls by using the Navi touchpad.   It can sync up with multiple phones and store each ones settings in the memory. So 2 phones should work. Do not know what will happen if one is in use and a call comes to the other.   In Bay area temperatures are usually mild. So in the morning the EV mode comes on within 1-2 minutes of driving.
