#427 of 446 Re: Extended service contract woes [meanboy2005] by meanboy2005 Aug 20, 2009 (12:39 pm)
Replying to: meanboy2005 (Aug 13, 2009 9:38 am) We received the check a couple of days ago. I am not sure if my visit to the dealership made a difference or not. I did send a certified letter to him and his GM covering our conversation. And I included the paper trail to the GM in my letter. The day after I did that I received a lot of attention. They might have been waiting until the last day to maximize the cash flow. I guess I'll never know.

Replying to: topspeed (Aug 19, 2009 2:24 pm) Here's what the gold preferred plan covers. The gold preferred covers something every 3750 miles. With the gold preferred tires are only covered for the first three years. You can buy the gold preferred up until you have 7,500 miles on the odometer.   http://nissanwarrantystore.com/month-75000-mile-maintenance-coverage-p-836.html?- - osCsid=18152d151f32b5efc4b7158095ceb15e   Cost is $1505 right now.   http://nissanwarrantystore.com/maintenanceplus-c-40.html?page=2&sort=2a&osCsid=1- 8152d151f32b5efc4b7158095ceb15e
#429 of 446 Good deal or not? by sleeper_01 Aug 21, 2009 (6:52 pm)
Paid $20,500 OTD for a 2009 base model (no options) NAH using the CARS program. Good deal or not?
#430 of 446 NAH by xav Aug 26, 2009 (10:36 pm)
That dumb program "cash for clunkers" has finally ended. More likely than anything September and October sales are going to be an absolute disaster.   I would definitely recommend to anyone willing to buy the NAH to wait end of September or October and offer $9,000 below MSRP. Buying right now would be a terrible mistake as all dealers have already met their goals for the month.
#431 of 446 My New Ride by ram5014 Sep 20, 2009 (3:59 pm)
Just bought a new 09 NAH for $23,805 out the door. It has a conv pkg, and moonroof (after market included). This included registration and license until 2013. My next move is to apply for the state tax credit of $1500, and the fed. tax credit of $3250. This was near Portland, OR. No sales tax and cheap car registrations. I was looking for a regular Altima before cash for clunkers, but my trade in was a '97 Corolla and there didn't seem like any deals out there at that time. After clunkers ran out a few weeks ago I saw an ad for the Altima Hybrid plus the tax credits. Something I couldn't pass up.   Are the maintenance contracts worth it? I do most all my work on my cars as far as oil change, and tire rotation. The sales guys says they charge over $100 just for an oil change, is that true?

Replying to: ram5014 (Sep 20, 2009 3:59 pm) You might have transposed the Federal Tax credit because it's $2350 not $3250.00.   I paid less than $20 for an oil change at Firestone. I didn't get full synthetic oil but 5-30 which is acceptable. This was it's first oil change and I haven't seen a decrease in gas mileage. The next oil change will likely be at the dealer because they have some things that need to be checked unless I take it to a garage that specializes in hybrids.

Replying to: meanboy2005 (Sep 20, 2009 5:29 pm) Firestone, Monroe, Jiffy Lube theya re all fine as long as you get the oil change done at a REGULAR interval of 3000 miles or LESS. They use inferior filters and these filter either hold too much oil back or let too much go thru including the impurities. Nissan Filters are the best (any OEM for that matter). I ahve been using Monroe/ Midas on my 05 Pathfinder and had no issues. I took the maintenance program thru nissan as it came with Free oil changes for life from teh Dealer, who is not too far out of the way for me.

Replying to: kale (Sep 21, 2009 5:48 am) I'm sorry, but the 3,000 miles or less, opps I mean LESS, is just not true. The manufacturer doesn't even recommend that frequency anymore. Check your maintenance schedule and follow that. Don't go by what a dealer's service center or mass marketing from oil change centers (Jiffy Lube) recommend.   kale - Since you paid for it up front with the maintenance program, you might as well take it in as often as they'll allow.   For everyone else, follow the maintenance schedule that came with the car. On my 2008, it's 3,750 miles for schedule one (more short trips, less highway) and 7,500 miles for schedule 2 (more highway, less short trips). There are some other guidelines so... check your maintenance schedule.   My advice to the average driver is to go with Mobile One 0W-20 synthetic and Schedule 2, the 7,500 mile interval.

Replying to: kale (Sep 21, 2009 5:48 am) 3,750 miles....but I don't get my oil changed even that frequently. I do about 7,000 miles (using synthetic though).
#436 of 446 09' Loaded Hybrid Paid $28725 after rebates - good deal? by gianni24 Oct 11, 2009 (5:13 am)
Hey All,   I bought a fully loaded '09 Altima Hybrid on 10/9/09 which stickered for $34,900; I paid $28,725 before taxes, licenses and fees. I am in union county NJ. That was the Edmunds TMV and what I shot for. However, when the sales manager wrote up the contract I saw that he included $4500 in rebates instead of the $3500 Edmunds had in the TMV.   Ever since I walked out of the dealership I have been feeling like I got taken for a little ride. At a minimum, I paid $70 more in taxes (since rebates are taxable). But, I am also feeling like there was $1000 more wiggle room that I did not take advantage of. Out the door from the dealiership I eneded up paying $31,637.15. with the Tax incentive I am solidly under 30k.   what do you guys think? Should I return the car (I have until tomorrow) or be happy with the deal I got?   BTW - Valuable lessons learned;   1. ask friends and family what dealerships they like for buying whatever make you decide on. after i closed my deal i found out that a nissan dealership not to far away offered free oil changes and loaner cars for life on cars purchased from them.   2. take back control. ask the dealer what the rebates and incentives are available when you sit down. then you right down your numbers and present your numbers to them. i can not tolerate the "let me go ask" process. I need to buy another car in about a month. I am actually contemplating showing up with a cashiers check for the exact amount i am willing to pay out the door so that i can cut down on the BS.   3. check the dealer's website before going to see if they have any special incentives. the dealership i bought from was offering a $250 gas card but i needed to present the coupon upon walking into the dealership. a scam i am sure, but i feel like i still missed out.
