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?

No, it's not only on cold days. It happens every time you start the car and the coolant is below a certain temp. I wouldn't worry about it. It's good to be aware of what the blue light means and why the engine kicks on when you first start it up but I wouldn't let it effect your buying decision.
 
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.

2008 NAH loaded from Western Connecticut by jojolopes

I bought a fully loaded 2008 NAH Black interior and exterior and got it for $500 over invoice from Bruce Bennett Nissan. I think that's a good deal for me because I live in northern NJ and all the dealers here would barely budge from MSRP because the fact is, over here people are paying MSRP for them. I went an hour away to western Connecticut. Basically I called, told him what I was willing to pay, he agreed, listed all the fees and final cost, and that was that. Plus they had it on the lot and there was no waiting for shipment and they got it ready for me the same day I called.

2008 NAH Convenience Package moon roof by deweyl

I brought a 08 NAH Majestic blue exterior and frost interior, with convenience package, it seems like frost only goes with convenience, and moon roof and floor mats for 28779 out the door. At Connell Nissan Costa Mesa California. The msrp was around 28,600 I believe. If you call, Ask for Juan, he'll get you a good deal, no need to haggle. I was offered this price right when I called in.

Boy, Things have really changed since March. I purchased two NAH's then, both for pretty much invoice, less the $1250 rebate at the time. Plus extra's (tires for life, double powertrain warranty, several free oil changes, etc.) Love the car, now have 19,500 miles on mine in 6 months plus one week. Gas mileage has increased now so I average between 34.5 and 36.5, mostly highway driving. Wife's car only has 2500 miles on, much more suburban, stop and go driving & she is averaging 36 to 37, more than mine

Interesting.... I stopped by Mastria Nissan, Raynham, MA to have my NAH serviced. Had a few moments to see their inventory. Had one loaded 09 NAH with everything, big sign on the windshield (on 09 hybrid in MA!) The list was $34,700, which is $1200 more than the list on identical 08 I purchased last March. Tech package, the whole bit. To make matters "worse" they had another sticker increasing price by $2500 (said something like "market increase" so the list came out to around $37,200.
 
My salesman wasn't there but real curious to see if they really think they would sell that price for anything close to what they are asking.
 
Makes me feel pretty good about the two that I purchased last March, each on at approx invoice price, less the at the time $1250 rebate, less 2 x $2350 I will get back from IRS when I file taxes next year.
 
Plus, when I trade my Subaru Tribeca in on one of the vehicles got a good trade in of $16,000. I could not imagine how much lower that trade in would be today!

Jo, what was your actual price with the $500 above before taxes and how much was the conveyance fee? Thanks

Invoice was $30,915, so we agreed on $31,415. Conveyance fee was $299. I took the $500 Nissan cash back because the APR I got was 5.74% which made it more worth it to take the cash back(I put $15,000 down on the car). So I guess the price I paid goes back to exactly invoice after the Nissan cash back. Then of course there were the fees like 7% NJ tax, $250 registration fee (4 year registration $59 per year) and I got the 6 year warranty for $955.
 
Also, everyone at the place was very nice and their building is very nice as well. I would go back to them for my next car because it seems they give good deals (at least a lot better than NJ).
