Replying to: go_mdx1 (Feb 20, 2009 1:17 pm) I do realize that there are some great discounts on Maximas out there but even at 7K off the price, it is still 2K or 3K above the Pontiac G8 with the V8, just the car I refer to in comparing it to a domestic vehicle. Add to that the fact that they can offer 7K off and stay in business, and you can tell how extremely exaggerated the MSRP is. In talking to Nissan Consumer Affairs today, I found out that dealers are charging an up-front fee of up to $150.00 for service that would be done under warranty. Imagine my surprise when this happened to my son, I called expecting to get a sense of outrage from Nissan Consumer Affairs but instead I was told that dealers are independently owned and can do that. It is like a deposit to make sure the car is really broken, and if so for a warranted part, they process a refund. I have never heard of paying up front for warranty because of the possibility that the defect is not a warranty defect. Usually my service advisor calls me to let me know when this happens and I choose to pay or leave as is, not so at Bill Seidle Nissan in Miami Florida. Buyers BEWARE!! |

Replying to: tmikeb (Apr 25, 2009 6:33 pm) For comparisons sake, I occasionally look at a few dealers in the southeast and mid-atlantic for online pricing. dobbsdirect.com, teamdirect.com, Brown's Sterling Nissan, fitzmall.com, nissanofforestcity.com, antwerpennissan.com, etc. I don't think I have seen anything as low as 26.8 with the options you want. Anyone else know any dealers that post e-prices online? (with an emphasis on the southeast)

Replying to: tmikeb (Apr 25, 2009 6:33 pm) I take it this is to be a company vehicle, am I right? if so, does the company insist on buying the vehicle? leasing can get you the car for 39 months at about 500 a month or less. That gets you the car you want for monthly payments totaling 20,000 or so plus taxes. Just a suggestion but of course it depends on what your company accepts. Even if it is a personal vehicle, the option is still out there. It is very nice to walk away after 39 months and owe nothing, not care about resale value, and just jump into a new vehicle. If that is acceptable to you and your company, may want to consider it, good luck.

Replying to: out4cat (Apr 28, 2009 2:29 pm) (I did find a local small Nissan dealer that still has 2 '08 Altima's and an '08 Pathfinder.) The salesman says they don't sell many Maxima's because the folks in the area simply can't afford them. They had an '09 black one that had the premium package. He said for 1K they could add the chip that gets you the NAV. In the end, I can live without NAV, but it would be nice especially with XM traffic. The rub on the Black one is that it has 1800 miles. I am not sure ARI will let me buy it. It has never been titled and apparently can still be sold as new. They have two others too. One had the sport pak. It was slate but actually was a nice looking car. The rep thought that since I wasn't in a hurry that rebates will increase and they will sell it at a loss when the'10s come in. I can wait and may just try that strategy. After seeing the black and slate, I like them and would be happy with them.

Replying to: tmikeb (Apr 29, 2009 3:08 pm) 1800 miles on the car you saw is actually not that much, and untitled means you get it as new with full warranty. It is always a good idea to wait for more incentives, good luck with your decision.

Anyone heard any grumblings about May 2009 Rebates? I am guessing they are going up... a bunch. I reviewed the sales of the Maxima and Altima since August. The numbers look horrible regardless of what the dealers are telling us. Year over year sales: Maxima AUG 08 +15% SEPT -19.1% OCT +33% NOV -37.2% DEC -16% JAN 09 -30.3% FEB -38.4% MAR -26.4% Altima AUG 08 -.5% SEPT -42.4 OCT -18.5% NOV -45.3% DEC -31.2% JAN 09 -34.7% FEB -31.5% MAR -37.8% I am interested to see April's numbers that should be release next Monday. |
