Thanks Langjie, But you would think the dealer would tell me that rather than keep me getting more frustrated. If it is December, than it will be 6 months from the date of the order. That is really Sh*t!

"i agree. anyone who wants a hybrid for about 24k might as well get the prius and not a base altima. more people wanted a luxury hybrid here. i had to wait 3 months for my tech package hybrid"
 
For those not impacted by the AMT, the Nissan has the full hybrid rebate available, which drastically reduces the price of the car vs. a Prius.

What is the Hybrid Rebate you are talking about? by emgr

Stevedebi,
 
What Hybrid Rebate are you talking about? I can't find anything. If you are talking about the tax credit, that is old news.

I can't agree entirely with this statement - not everyone is looking for a full blown version of the NAH. You could make the exact opposite statement - anyone who wants to spend $32,000 for a hybrid should get the Camry - I belive you can get a similar equipped Camry for less. I think Nissan grossly overpriced their options - $7,000 for the Tech package - that's insane.
 
I actually had to look around to buy the "base" NAH. I still have the same mechanics/styling/performance as a fully blown version. Why would I want a Prius instead? The only thing I'm missing are the extra creature comforts which I still can provide in part by using my Garmin GPS and my BlueAnt bluetooth speaker - which I can move to my other vehicles. The "base" NAH is a well equipped car - not a stripped version.
 
You can get $1,000 to $2,000 off sticker on a "base" NAH plus the tax credit making it a great bargin and you'll be able to recover the "hybrid premium" in a very short time.
 
I wish Nissan would have split up there options into seperate available items as I would have liked the heated seats.

Sorry, yes, I was referring to the tax credit.
 
I realize it is "old news", but I was responding to a message that said one might as well buy a Prius rather than wait for an Altima Hybrid. My point is that the Tax Credit was available for the Nissan, but (after Sep 30) not available on the Prius. That could be a serious chunk of change for a taxpayer who is not subject to AMT.

Price nah w/tech package by lovenavy

I went to a dealer in southern california to check out nah with tech package. They have one left. 07 nah with 67 miles on the odometer. I ask the saleman why so many miles on the odometer. He replies, It was test driven by more than 10 people. I decided negotiate the price anyway. MSRP $33,250. I offer $30,000 plus ttl. Salesman wants 31,000 plus ttl, so i just walk out. What do you folks think?

$31,000 is a very good price. Looking at Edmund's and seeing his cost as well as a better financing deal. I I think that looked good. Even being an '07 with a few miles. Actually anything under 500 miles is considered still new inventory to a dealer.

why not wait for the 08, also isn't there was a 1000 rebate for the hybrid for now?
I really don't see whats the problem to get base Altima Hybrid instead of Prius. If u have 4 or 5 people in the car and go uphill than u know why u didn't or glade u didn't get the Prius.

Gosh I guess some people don't read at all. While my order back in June was for an 07, it was in July that they told me that they couldn't get it and it would have to be an 08.
 
I am way ahead of you. Also told that the build date would be in October and delivery would be the end of November. Almost 6 months from the order and deposit date.
 
I have ridden in many Altima base cars and the seats kill me and just to plain for my taste. That is why I wanted the tech package.

does anyone know, to get the $1500 rebate do you have to finance through Nissan or can I do that privately?
