Find Nissan Dealers in Durham, North Carolina

Just leased a 2012 Altima Sedan, 2.5S w/ SL, Tech, Conv, Conv+, Premium Audio, Spoiler, Splash Guards, Fog Lights, Floor/Trunk Mats, MSRP = 31,140. Black w/ blond leather. Sales price, $28,096 (quoted as $800 below invoice, and based upon truecar that appears true, edmunds price calculator seems off a bit (yielded $28,847, but the MRSP was off by $160 on edmunds.com)). $825 lease rebate, $500 loyalty rebate, $500 MLK weekend rebate all applied to take the total sales price to $26,271. Up-front costs are a total of $823.21, including doc ($397.90), tags ($73), first payment (283.43), and $68.88 in taxes. Payments are $275.17 plus $8.26 3% NC tax for a total of 283.43. 39 month lease, 12,000 miles per year. $595 acquisition fee rolled into the lease. I was going to lease for 36 months, but the dealer pointed out that going to 39 months saved about $14 a month, and that Nissan was offering early outs on their leases (they did offer that to me in September, for my 2009 Altima that I turned in). So I went for 39 months. Dealer was Michael Jordan Nissan in Durham, NC. I had 3 other dealers willing to take $800 to $1000 off the invoice for a new Altima, plus the $1825 off for rebates, but this dealership had the car that most closely met our option/color needs (Black was my wife's second choice on color, she really wanted Tuscan Sun, but there was not one in the state of NC w/ the Technology Package). I tried to get the dealer to $1000 off invoice, but he was firm at $800 off. I did all the negotiations by email/phone. Got to the dealership, everything was as promised and I was in/out in 75 minutes, which included the paperwork for my new car, the paperwork for my 2009 Altima lease turn-in, changing/verifying my insurance coverage, and transferring all my maps/tools/junk from the old car to the new one. No attempt to up-sell me on unwanted paint sealant, nitrogen in tires, maintenance agreements, etc. I rate this dealer A+. In addition, NMAC has committed to waive the $395 disposition fee on my 2009 Altima lease since I leased a new Altima through NMAC. I count that as another incentive, bringing the total in incentives to $2220. Love the new car!

I picked up my new Altima on Friday. All was as promised. I spent about 75 minutes total in the dealership, to do the turn-in paperwork for my 2009 Altima, go over and sign the paperwork for my new 2012 Altima, transfer all my maps/tools/junk from my old car to the new one, and change/verify my insurance coverage. Probably would have been less than an hour if I were not so talkative. EVERYTHING was as the dealer promised. No attempts to up-sell me on maintenance, nitrogen in the tires, paint sealer, etc. They do sell a $995 package that includes oil changes for life and a $500 discount on your next car, among other things. If I lived closer (it is 180 miles to my home, I visited my mother-in-law as part of this trip) and was buying instead of leasing, I would have considered it. They knew I was from out of town and did not even attempt to up-sell it to me. There were an added $68 in taxes paid up-front; I did some research and in NC, the state does tax the $1825 in incentives at 3%. In addition, it appears I got taxed on the $397.90 doc fee and the $73 license fee, for an up-tax of $14. But hey, I turned in a car with an empty tank of gas, and I got a brand new car w/ a full tank, so I did not complain. All the dealers I was "close" with were between $800 and $1000 under invoice. Tried to get my dealer to $1000 under invoice, but he was solid at $800 under, so I accepted the deal. He had the car w/ the right options, but my wife's second choice on color. Dealer was Michael Jordan Nissan in Durham, NC. I highly recommend them.

hello I've been monitoring the 08 350Z situation for the last couple months and have a couple questions. I've negotiated a buy price of 21,400 for a base 350Z 6MT at my local dealer (durham NC), but they refused to honor that price for a lease when I brought it up. I went into the dealer armed with the info from this site (thanks a bunch for that) 12k mi a year, 45% residual based on 28,5 MSRP, MF of .00325. The lease would be very attractive at 21,4 which is what I was prepared to close the deal with, but they would only discount the car to 25000 claiming that they can't apply the rebates and dealer cash to a lease... just a regular finance. is this true or are the trying to get more money out of financing it through the dealer? My next move is to call any dealers with remaining 6MT 08 coupes and ask this same question, but knowing if the incentives can or cannot be applied to a lease would help a ton. If I'm not mistaken there is a $2500 customer cash rebate and $2500 manuf. to dealer rebate available. I am also currently leasing a pathfinder, so there's another $500 loyalty cash available as well. I don't really want to consider buying because I don't want to own a Z for more than 3 years and leasing would be more cost effective. Thanks for your help! Adam

We just bought an Altima today, Winter Frost outside and Blonde leather inside, the model is 2.5 S with: - SL pacakge - connection package w/Sirius satellite radio - ABS - floor mat - auto-dim mirror w/compass - moonroof wind shield, splash guard Got it for 24300, which is about 2300 off MSRP. it includes 500 student discount (graduate student). Bought at Durham, NC. Hope this can help.

After looking at everything from used Altimas, Maximas, Accords, Camries, and a couple Mazdas, I finally nailed down what I felt was a pretty good deal on an 05 S. Base model with just the side airbag / ABS package, splash guards and trunk mat for $19.5, and $20.2 out the door. From my calculations, it's about $200 under invoice as I did the 1% instead of the rebate. I emailed a few Nissan dealerships in the area. The one in Durham was $1000 (yes, 1000) above invoice before rebate. Greensboro was close but the internet person had the nerve to question my selection process when I asked about another vehicle on their lot so that nixed them. I never heard back from Southern States in Apex or Raleigh, but I had been to the Apex store before and they were trying to sell me an 05 based with 30k miles for $17k (yes you read that right). I didn't have good experience with either of those two. I'm in North Carolina and the dealership was Modern Nissan in Winston Salem. GREAT experience. I simply emailed the Internet Manager (she's been really nice) and got a quote on the price the next day with a follow call to make sure I received the email. I actually live in the Raleigh area so they knocked off the doc fee because of competition with Southern States in the Raleigh area. I actually had found a better deal in the DC area (Herb Gordon Nissan in MD) through their internet department at about $600 under on the base model, but ended up here because I was pressed for time. (It would have been close to even anyway because of the doc fees.) If you're in the DC area, they may be worth a look as well. It's amazing the prices that I found on used Altimas. Most places wanted within a grand of a new 05 for a used 05 Altima, and within 2 grand or so for a 02 or 03 base model. The amazing thing is that they were sticking to their pricing even after a little negotiation. Anyway, sorry for the long post, but if you're close to NC, Modern Nissan is definitely worth a look, as is Herb Gordon Nissan in the MD / DC area. Just make sure you do the internet departments.
