Looks like Nissan is running out of Altimas! At current prices, I can see why. In the past few days I've seen/heard ads for 2012 Altimas (2.5 S) starting at $17k or $119/month for 39 month lease with $2995 down.
 
Will be interesting to see what happens to Camry and Accord sales once the new Fusion and Altima appear in volume.

for about $200 a month/nothing down, I might even be interested in one.

I saw another deal in the paper yesterday that topped the one on the Altima: $99/month for 36 months with $2995 down on a 2012 Optima LX. And that's a relatively new model.
 
Looks like the competition is heating up.

You're right--the competition is incredible right now. Check out this Honda dealer in Nashville, which is offering 4,000 to even 5,000 off of most models of the Accord. That's a heck of a lot of car for the money. For instance you can get an Accord EX auto there, with a list price of c. 26k for just 21k. Or you can get an Accord SE for 19.9k. I'd go for the EX myself for the Acura engine they put in that model.

In my local market in Louisville there are Nissan dealers advertising up to 6000 off of an Altima. The lowest priced ones seem to go for slightly less than 19k.
 
Of course the Altima and Accord are about to be replaced with all-new models, but if you need a car that is a heck of a deal. What's weird about it is that the huge discounts on the midsize models mean that for just about a thousand more than a Sentra or Civic you can move up to a whole larger and fancier class of vehicle. Not everyone wants or needs a car that large, but man what a lot of great deals...
 
Oh, and on the Accord you can also get 0.9 financing for 5 years. Not sure if that can combine with 5k off...

Kind of off topic, but since you brought it up (and the Sentra does have a mid-sized interior per EPA)... there's great deals on the Sentra now as it too is to be replaced soon, and there should be great deals available on the Civic before the improved 2013 models come out.
 
I bet you can't get $5k off an Accord PLUS 0.9% for 5 years, but if you can it's a heckuva deal.
 
While we're talking great deals... similar situation for the 2012 Fusion and Malibu. Great discounts available on remaining cars before the new models come out (for Malibu, the full line of new 2013s; only the mild hybrid is available now I think). And also in the great deals department... VW has some great lease deals on the Passat; e.g. I saw a lease that factoring in the down payment would come out to ~$200 a month, for an S model.

If it's worth $60-80 more a month to you than the 2012 Altima, go for it!
