Does the $27,000 include tax, license, docs and fees? Seems like a really good price. I wonder how much are the base NAH going for.

Doc fees were $55.00
CA Tax was $2335.00
License + CA Fees were $256.00
Tax and CA License / Fees are not negotiable.... Ouch!

I signed up for Consumer Reports pricing.... Well worth the $$. You can get pricing on one car for ~$9 and all you want for ~39. I used it to look at Honda's, Toyota's and finally Nissans

Yup...that little orange light in the roof console isn't an indicator of the headlight condition. Thinking about it, don't you think that's an odd place for a status light? Considering how careful the Japanese are about ergonomics, a light like that would be placed on the instrumentation, right? It's so that you can see things in the dark car cabin at night. It comes on and goes out with the headlights, to be sure, but so do all the other illuminations...

Your wrong ont he orange light. It is the status of the headlines being on and off. I agree it is an odd place for it but that is what it is. At least on my NAH with Tech pckg.
Easy to check if I am write. turn lights on by hand and off.

This was my original question, and through trying the lights, at night, it seemed that the orange light in the console above your head and to the right was a headlight indicator. While it makes sense that it could be a light for a dark cabin, and goes on and off w/the headlight..... it doesn't illuminate enough to qualify even as a nightlight!
So, yes, it is not in a good place for a headlight indicator, but that's what it seems to be. Is someone else's orange light bright enough to light anything up?!
ah, mysteries of the Japanese car companies.

Getting an Altima Hybrid

Greetings all - I've been lurking a while trying to decide what car to get when my lease on my volvo S60R is up in about 2 months... I've decided on the Altima Hybrid, having driven the 2.5 at a local dealer and really enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, I live in Southwestern PA so I can't get one locally. (Well, it's not unfortunate that I live here - I kinda like it...I just can't get the hybrid directly.) SO, I'm trying to learn all I can about the process for getting one at a distance.
I have seen that several of you have done this...So, I'm looking for any advice anybody might want to offer about the process. From what I understand, I can get my local dealer to bring me one (in which case i don't think I'd qualify for the cash back offer or financing deal) or I can just buy it long-distance.
Any thoughts or pitfalls to watch out for?
Oh yes, and using the Nissan website, I've found two dealers within a 5 hour drive of me who have the specific models I want. It seems as if people have found reasonable success negotiating over the phone or by the internet. Is that the way to go?
Thanks!
JSY

Before you buy a altima hybrid analyze your driving style and what do you drive most city or highway. Regardless of what people say in order to get high MPG in a hybrid you will have to change your driving style. I had a 2.5S cvt automatic rental for 2 days and drove over 200 miles. Its was mostly highway about 80% highway and 20% city. I got 33MPG. After the rebates and federal tax credit you still are paying a $2K premium for a altima hybrid. You could probably get a nicely loaded 2.5SL for the amount of money you will spend on a NAH. All I am saying is make sure you do your research. Hope this helps.

Your closest point, if you live near Pittsburgh, would be Jamestown, New York. That is about 45 minutes from Erie. I did just that. write me if you want to discuss what I did and the process. I know they still have an 07 hybrid on the lot with connection pkg at a good price. That was a few weeks ago.

Thanks emgr - would be happy to contact you offlist, but I'm afraid your email is listed as private in your profile. (At least, if I looked that up correctly.) Mine is available if you wouldn't mind sending me a note. Thanks much for your help!
