I apologize about the typo, but you know what I mean. My personal experience with the NAH was not good and I traded it in after 14K miles. The MPG was all over the charts with no consistency and I had to change my driving style to get the high MPG's. If I had to buy a hybrid again, it would be the Prius. Its the only true hybrid from ground up.

for a car that's about perfect balance between fuel efficiency and sportiness, i would think NAH is the only game in town, no?

Doema,
I would advise you not to let the dealer wrap the price up in a loan. They can tack on more that way. What is the cost of the car? Then discuss finance.
 
My 2008 NAH was a loaded tech pkg, out the door (8% CA tax, rebate and everything) for $30,037.
 
Go in and state what you want to pay. Pay at least $2500 under invoice. Let dealers bid for your business, shop them! Be willing to walk away and contact several dealers. End of month and end of quarter are good times. 7 dealers would not take my price, but one did.
 
good luck!

redwood2,
 
good call on the finance tip, i was kind of guessing that's their method to mask additional markups, etc. thanks for the feedback.

i agree that the NAH is a perfect balance between fuel efficiency and sportiness. If you don't car much about sportiness, the TCH is a better choice.
In the end its all about driving habits and personal taste.
A quick comparison; the best price I have seen for a new NAH Base is $24,000 OTD and if you factor in the $2350 rebate, the price becomes $21,650.
Comparing that to a regular gas engine altima 2.5S automatic, the lowest price I have seen is $19,300 OTD. There is about a $2350 difference in price.
With gas $4.00/gallon you save about $45.71 per 1,000 miles if you get 25MPG overall with the gas engine and 35MPG overall with the NAH. You will recoup the $2350 after 50,000 miles. After 50,000 the differenc will be made up. Thats if gas is $4.00/gallon.

I also think that the seats in a Nissan > Toyota. The Camry doesn't offer much back support and my hips start hurting when I drive a Camry

Does your state offer an incentive to purchase a hybrid? Mine did. sent me a $1,000 check plus the parts on the hybrid don't wear like a regular Altima. You have to factor that in..plus the discount that my insurance company gave me because I bought a hybrid. With my driving, I figure I make up the difference in two years and have a lot more fun car to drive.

Yes, Oregon will give me a $1500 credit for the Altima or the Camry. Also the California dealer is willing to deliver the car to me in Oregon so that I don't have to pay sales tax. Any thoughts of how I can test drive one without chugging down to CA? I called Avis (who supposedly rents them) and they see them once in a blue moon in Oregon. Anyone on the post anywhere nearby Portland?

Good deal in NY/NJ/MA area? by jsto

Hi,
I've been trying to prince a Nissan Altima Hybrid (silver or slate) with connection package at various dealers in NY, NJ and MA. I understand its hard to get connection without moonroof, so these prices include moonroof. The prices I'm getting are a bit above invoice, which is pretty close to what Edmunds says others are paying, which is higher than what others on this site have posted. I tried a couple of internet pricing systems, and it seems all you get is dealers sending you auto-generated emails that say "contact us" or "come in for a test drive". Most of them don't bother contacting you. They tell you the price without destination, or get "confused" between the connection and convenience packages and quote you the wrong price that you find out after you drive 45 minutes to get there. Others give you a great price, but say they can't guarantee it until you come in. I'm not driving 2 hours for a bait and switch! The whole thing seems like an advertising scam. Anyhow, I did manage to get prices out of a few of them on the phone, and this is what I'm getting:
 
Invoice with moonroof (before rebate) $28,771
TMV "what others are paying" on edmunds $29,054
 
Prices I've gotten from dealers (before $1250 rebate):
$29,355
$29,500
$29,430
 
My local dealership offered $29,250.
 
Others who posted earlier said they were getting it for 1 or 2K below invoice! Is this a geographical difference? Should I keep looking? Should I bargain harder? Should I wait until late June?
 
Any advice is much appreciated. Thx
