What does everyone think? Anatomy of the deal: 2008 NAH in Precision Gray with the Tech Pkg and Aluminum Kick Plates: MSRP: $32,375 Dealership's offer: $29,128+ T & L ($32,019.70 out the door - CA tax is 8.75% plus flat Dealer fee of $343 covering title/reg/lic. etc) 3.9% APR for 60 months (current Nissan special... this or $1250 cash back... the lower rate will save me more in the long run, as the normal going rate around here seems to be 6+%) They are offering $12,000 on my trade in of a 2005 Honda Accord Coupe LX Special Edition 5SPD, on which I still owe $10,880 or so. (Seems a bit low, but, I guess that's what you give up when you don't have time to sell it yourself). They will apply the $1,120 difference after tax. Seeing as the out the door price including our ridiculous CA tax rate is less than the MSRP, it looks like a good deal to me. I'd love some input, though... I'm in Northern California, SF Bay Area (Santa Clara to be exact). Thanks all, this discussion has been invaluable...  -Jon

Replying to: j0nny5 (Feb 24, 2008 9:15 pm) I really enjoy my NAH so far! My only regret is that the city milage in SF is not better than the highway as the advertised milage metric suggests. There are a lot of stop signs and hills to contend with in the city so most of the time I am driving on the gas engine. On the other hand I have been advised of this before hand from friends who have hybrids so I did know what I was getting into. I find that the greatest benefit from the hybrid technology comes from driving in freeway traffic when in stop and go traffic the electric engine kicks in a lot. Good luck. |

Replying to: hiwayman (Feb 26, 2008 1:48 pm) BTW, thanks for your input on one of the Altima Hybrid threads regarding the installation of aftermarket HID and fog lights (http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.f187638?displayRecent). Both yours and langjie's input will be very helpful to me on that endeavor.

Now I am thinking I did not get so great of a deal. I bought one here in NJ for $25000 ( sunroof plus convienence package , floor mats and kick plates) . I could not get one with leather so I am paying $1300 to have the leather installed. This includes the $1250 rebate that Nissan is offering. It seems like I did not have to do any negoitiating. I offered $25,000 and they took it without a problem. Did I get taken for a ride? They also charged me $500 for tags, title and paperwork fees which they said was non negotiable. I thought that was very high.

Replying to: gammagirl (Feb 27, 2008 3:05 pm) regardless, it's not a horrible deal, msrp for your car is 28,225, invoice 26,299 pretty much, you got the car for invoice price if you take into account the rebate. you probably could have got it down by maybe $1,000 max, but the hassle-freeness of your experience might just be worth it. $500 for documentation and stuff is maybe a bit high here in MA, here is $350ish. not sure about jersey though. i don't consider getting "taken for a ride" unless you are paying close to MSRP or above. |
