Have a dealer offer for a 08 NAH base with mats. It has 5500 miles demo so it's considered new and will qualify for tax credit. The dealer is offering it for $23K plus the rebate or 3.9% financing. Feedback? I can get a loaded with Tech. Package for $30,400 as well. Thanks

Picked up for 24.5K after .5K Rebate on Saturday Aug 23, 2.35K tax credit expected Winter Frost Pearl (White) paint has beautiful lustrous sheen Blond interior matches nicely with brown+tan dash+panels & wood finish trims Drove back 420 miles to SoCal (home.) Aprox 500 miles so far & more than a quarter tank remaining. Drives like a charm. Bottom Line- $1.2K below invoice (w/o tax credit) or 3.5K below invoice with tax credit. This worked out to be about $5K+ lower than comparable Camry Hybrid & no waiting!

Replying to: kt24 (Sep 01, 2008 1:50 pm) Before this I had a very negative experience with Cerritos Nissan around end of June. A salesman agreed to a deal on the phone. I drove to Cerritos from Calabasas on that Saturday. The sales guy was friendly and showed two cars and we picked one & test drove it. He confirmed the deal orally and started with paper-work. Then here comes the sales manager who started with telling me that he only had two base models until September and the best he could do was to give me 500 off MSRP. Of course, I was very angry and walked. Who wants to deal with an unethical & deceptive business? |

im looking at buying the NAH, but am curious as to what this warming up the electric engine is about. is it on cold days only? does the remote have a start button so you can warm up the car before you go outside? can the oil be changed, etc by a regular tech with no hybrid exp. or should everything be one at a dealer? has anyone seen a red NAH? has anyone had to replace the electric engine, if so, how much was it?

Replying to: jkbg8501 (Sep 14, 2008 9:30 am) No, an oil change does not require a hybrid tech. It's just like any other car on the road. Drain the oil, change the filter, fill it with oil. The filter location is the same as the standard 2.5L Altima. The only difference is that you will need to use the right oil. Many are using 0W-20 Mobile 1 Synthetic that you can get at Walmart. The dealer will charge you a lot for a proper oil change with the synthetic. Your best bet is to do it yourself (keep receipts and notes on mileage). Next best is to bring your own oil to a mechanic. For everything else, it's probably best to stick to the dealer, especially during the warranty period. Yes, I see a red NAH all the time in my garage. Once in a while I see it from the driver's seat when my wife lets me drive it. I doubt anyone has had to replace the electric engine yet. The car is too new. If they did, it was probably defective and replaced under warranty. Most people are concerned with having to eventually replace the hybrid battery pack, not the actual electric engine. Good luck in your search. |
