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. |

Replying to: tmikeb (Apr 30, 2009 7:12 am) Last weekend I borrowed my cousin's Pathfinder with charcoal seats, as a gesture of gratitude, I detailed it as a thank you for letting me borrow it. You would not believe the color of the white towel I used to clean up the leather, WOW does charcoal hide dirt or what. I see your point is what I am trying to say. In order to prevent drying out and cracking, I suggest using a cleaner/conditioner often to keep the leather moist, no matter what the color. Nissan sales on Altima and Maxima have dramatically gone down, as per your data. Where did you get all that percentage data by the way, I will monitor leasing deals in the next couple of months and maybe get one. May I suggest the new Hyundai Genesis, bigger car, more luxury, great reviews, and only a couple of grand off in price. Around here we have a deal being advertised for 2500 down and 399 a month on a Genesis, WOW!!

Auto Channel usually only has an overall summary and nothing to specific. If I can get the deal I need, I would definitely accept the frost interior. My wife actually likes it better and it would be cooler in the summer. I got a feeling that if I hold out a while, I will be able to get a Maxima loaded up like I want for the price my company allows. It may require me not getting my exact color of choice, but I like color I have seen so far. One dealer told me that they can put Navigation in any premium Maxima. He said it was a simple chip install on the rear of the radio? He also said it could be done for less than 1200 may be even less than 1K. Any idea if he knows what he is talking about? I drove the Genesis and it was okay. The car didn't feel as solid as the Maxima. I also need to get past the idea that Hyundia builds cheap quality vehicles. Also, they were not dealing on the Genesis. They say they sell as fast as they come in.

APRIL 2009 Sales Numbers Year over Year for the Month Maxima +62.7% - nice recovery, but still -17% for the year which has to be a huge disappointment in the first year of a model overhaul. Altima -46.9% and -37.7% for the year. I am thinking some big rebates are coming on Altima's.

Replying to: tmikeb (Apr 30, 2009 3:27 pm) There are some great deals advertised on the Maxima, 2999.00 down and 299.00 per month on a lease though, you would look for rebates on a buy deal. I have not yet seen anything on the Altima but the dealers here have them stacked up on the lot. I only have 2 hold backs on the Maxima, the CVT, and requirement for premium fuel. My 1st wish would be the Tuscan Sun with Sport Package and Cafe Latte interior (not available- Nissan only sells that color with charcoal seats if you pay the 2,300.00 for the sport package). 2nd wish would be the Mystique Jade with Sport Package and Cafe Latte interior (same story - not available with sport package). So in light of the absence of the option to have the cafe latte interior, I would have to get a black one or a precision grey one with frost seats, not bad but still not my wish. I am one of those who think that the color makes the car, of course that depends on the buyer's preference. I am not too familiar with what it would take to get the Nav capability, but if a 1K chip does it, then that is the way to go. Me I get the stuff for free, I google where I want to go, map quest and print. Yes it is old fashioned but it works and it is cheaper LOL. I do understand the need for Nave in your field of work if you are constantly out on the road selling. |

Folks, I've seen recent posts that suggests a 1K chip will make a non-Nav screen into a navigation model. What about the 9.3 GB harddrive that contains all of the points of interests and maps?? What about the missing NAV buttons on the console? Bottom line, I'm very skeptical that this is such an easy upgrade as being reported. One would be far better off just getting a real nice Garman and keeping the change. Finally, my 09 Max does have the NAV feature BUT I actually use the Music Box feature far more than the Navigation feature. Gracenotes technology, by the way, to identify the CDs as you burn them onto the hard drive is also quite amazing.

Any thoughts if this is a good deal for a 2009 3.5SV with premium + navigation, splash guards, floor/trunk mats with black on black colors: MSRP: $39,600 Dealer Quote: $38,000 $1,250 cash back Sale Price: $36,750 Plus, the dealer would cover my last two months lease payments (total $800) Final Price: $35,950 I would purchase outright with cash in order to get the $1,250 cash back. Also, any thoughts if June's cash back offer would be better seeing as how April had a total of $2,250? The local Cincinnati dealer I am working with carries very few of the black on black Maximas and am wondering if I should move now on the deal. |
