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

You might try Signature Nissan in Jamestown, New York. Last time I was there they had an 07, blue with connection package and what I thought was a good deal.

Just test drove... by bitterbuffalo

Boy I got lucky. The NAH doesn't exist in Oregon and I've been dying to test drive. Finally I said, well, I'll go test drive the regular Altima to make sure I like the feel, and whaddya know, the dealer I went to had bought one from a California dealer. Awesome car.
 
Problem... it was a "manager demo" with 5000 miles on it and I'm pretty sure I don't want that. Also, though it had the moonroof and the techonology package, they wanted 32,888 for it (gratefully reducing the price by $200 because of the manager demo).
 
Obviously, this is not acceptable and I'll just get it from a CA dealer and take delivery in Oregon to avoid the sales tax. What should I expect on price for the fully loaded NAH? It seems like MSRP is around $33k.

In my job, I have driven the NAH, the regular Altima 2.5 and the 3.5 Altima and the NAH feels nothing like the 2.5. The feel is closer to the 3.5 because of the extra weight and suspension. I believe the NAH uses the same suspension as the 3.5. It feels and drives more secure on the road than the standard 2.5.

i got mine in CT for 700 below
 
hybrid fully loaded,
 
dark slate / charcoal int
moonroof / shield/ plates / mats / tech package.
 
$30000
- incentives.
 
I took the 3.9 / wasnt eligable for 2.9 according to NMAC>
 
I could have gotten it cheaper in CA but shipping would have offset for NC>
 
If you wait you could get better deal with incentives but I was ready and my vehicle is on the frits so it made sense.
 
Streer clear of NJ dealers. They will rape you on fees . FYI.
 
I didnt find one single dealer in NJ that was upfront.
 
My dealer in CT said I will treat it as wholesale and fax you the contract for review.
Its taking close to 30 days with financing and stuff, tags for out of state and all req before vehicle ready for departure to NC, but its worth it to get an NAH!!

Well I'm calling around now... want Blue/Black with tech Package and Sunroof.
Have gotten:
From CA - $31,700 for Black w/o a sunroof
From OR dealer (who has to get it from CA - 1000 miles) - $32,259 for a Black with sunroof.
 
It feels like this is more than others are paying, but I don't know how much of that has to do with the dealers having to go out of state to get this car (states are big out West!).

I'd go for the OR dealer if you were comfortable with that price
