I'm impressed at the two! Is the price you quoted in CA? another state? I'm about to wheel and deal next week for my first new car in 20 years, my first hybrid, my first Nissan, so thanks for the price quote. Drove the Camry Hybrid -- like driving a boat. Love the Altima's sportiness and tighter handling. Hiwayman, Petaluma Nissan is one of the dealers I'll be contacting. Good to know about them.

Redwood2, good luck with your purchase. I wish the forum allowed me to post the salesman's name at North Bay Nissan, because this was the second vehicle we bought from him. He's a solid, no nonsense guy. He gives you the facts, tells you how much, and his price negotiation style is friendly and reasonable. He doesn't play games.Must be because he's a Norwegian transplant to the US. He's probably not unique at the dealership, though. They have a wall full of awards. I am not kidding you when I tell you we closed a deal on the car in less than one hour.
 
One thing that dumbfounded us about our deal is that we did the deal, and they came back with a better one. Signed the paperwork, and were told we'd have to wait 6 weeks for the car, which was in shipment somewhere. OK. No problem. Good car. Worth the wait. (We got the fully-loaded Tech package with moonroof,leather,etc). A few days later we get a call from our saleman. I'm thinking, "OK. Here we go. Big delays, or some price increase or something." Nope. He told us that Nissan had just come out with a better interest rate a day or so after our deal than the one we signed up for. He said if we'd come in and re-do the paperwork, he'd get us the better rate. He did this without being asked to. Our interest rate was cut in half (it was really low to begin with, but hey, a buck is a buck). We went back in, redid the paperwork, and a few weeks later drove off in our new car.

Taking the shipping and flight costs out of the equation, that's a pretty good price. It sounds like a price for a 2007 NAH? Is it a leftover (no problem there, just be sure you know what you're getting). Add all the other costs, and the price isn't that good, but you are getting an NAH...so.....

CA to WA Sales Tax, Price, etc? by mags49
Mar 13, 2008 (6:01 pm)

Since the NAH is not sold in the State of Washington, I am exploring purchase of one in California. I assumed I would not pay sales tax there but in Washington when I registered it. However,I was just informed by a CA dealer that I would have to pay the California Sales Tax "because the NAH is not sold in Washington" (why would that matter?). I've been on-line tonight trying to find out whether that sales tax would be deducted from the Washington State sales tax or what, and can't find an answer. Anyone else know about this? Am I in the wrong forum?
Also, I already did confirm that our local Nissan dealer has the hybrid techs. Are there other concerns I should have about owning an NAH here?
fyi, the MSR price for 2007 with pkg #1 is $27,025 and the manu rebate of $1500 expired on it but is now on the 2008 model which is only $200 more. Go figure. I think the dealer will have to deal down to off-load the 2007's. I haven't got to their bottom figures yet until I get the tax question settled. Any advice appreciated.

California dealers must collect sales tax for any new car that is delivered in the state... To waive the sales tax, the car has to be shipped or delivered across state lines...
 
At least that is what we always hear... I don't think that the unavailability of the car in Washington has anything to do with it.

CA Tax for out of state by seven20p
Mar 13, 2008 (11:00 pm)
Reply
I just talked to a dealer this evening and I would receive 10 day temp registration for car being shipped to NC from Bay area. 55 doc fee. Very straight forward. I didnt ask about fly in/drive home as I wont be doing that from CA to NC, however in NJ that situation was 3% tax to NC and drive home. They had a service included in the 129 doc fee that would complete the tax payment to NCDMV for that option.
 
CA has the price I want, NJ has the colors I want.
 
Decisions....all 08s. I havent seen any 07s from the dealers I spoke with.

FYI, I visited a DOL office this afternoon. If I were to buy a new car in California, I pay Cal sales tax (around 8%?) and present the purchase agreement showing that amount which is then deducted from the Washington State tax of 9.2% (really!) and pay the difference. No easy way around that one.
I have been on telephone with a dealer in Clovis (he went the extra mile and actually pulled up all the 2007's in the State for me by the color I wanted), but after reading the thread, am tempted to check out Petaluma or go web shopping. This website has been helpful in justifying to my spouse why I think a trip to CA is worth it. I bought a Prius the first year it was out, loved it but now Seattle is infested with them. Time for a change!
Thanks to all who contributed for the extra info about packages and prices.
