New Altima in the Driveway
by cmyawn on Sat Jan 31 06:58:00 PST 2009
We live just north of Wilmington, NC, and just took delivery last night of our new 2009 Altima. The details: 2009 Altima S Sedan w/ SL, CVT, both convenience packages, connection package, splashguards, and carpet/trunk mats. MSRP = $27,395 including delivery/destination charges. Invoice = $25,398. Navy blue w/ blonde leather. The final deal we took was from Dick Smith Nissan in Columbia, SC...which is 241 miles from our house. They started at $25,999 but quickly dropped that to $24,999 ($399 under invoice) as they knew I was looking at a lot of other dealers. Their fees were low compared to other dealers in the NC/SC area: $288 for doc plus $51 for SC temp tag/title fees. BUT because I live in NC, I would have to cover the NC inspection and NC tag fees (I think dealerships closer to the state line do this all the time but since they are in central SC, it was a new thing for them), which will total $98 (for new tags) or $85 (if I switch the tag from my soon-to-be off-lease Maxima). Then things got really interesting. We really wanted fog lights and a moon roof wind deflector added to the car. We really wanted fog lights since we live in a coastal area, many foggy mornings around here. MRWD was easy. BUT the add-on Nissan fog lights were a trouble. I had two other dealers quote $580 to $630 to have them installed. The net is that the GM at Dick Smith Nissan added $489 into the lease price to cover the fog lights and MRWD. BUT he also cut his doc/SC temp tag fees from $339 total to ...FIVE DOLLARS. I was amazed. So the paperwork shows that the sales price is $25,488, but we paid just $5 in fees to the dealership, so I think I came out ahead. The $595 acquisition fee is buried in the lease. I will still have to personally pay $30 to have the car NC safety/emissions tested and probably $55 for title/tag transfer fees to NC. Amazingly they delivered the car as part of the deal on a flat bed car-hauler to my house (241 miles each way!). And even more amazingly, they did so with no up-front credit card or any other payment, just took some info over the phone and got my NMAC pre-approval numbers. The car was delivered last night, 65 miles on the odometer, full tank of gas, 30 day temp tag in place, dealer decals removed, all manuals included, 2 key fobs, fog lights and MRWD installed, clean and perfect. Wrote the delivery driver a check for $350 (first payment and $5 in fees), signed some paperwork, and I have a new Altima in my driveway. Payment is $345.17, which is $335.13 for the lease and $10.04 in NC tax. 36 month lease, 12,000 miles/year. Money factor = .00158, Residual = 60%. Some will critique us for doing a lease instead of taking the $1500 rebate and buying. But around here with the salt air, vehicles just do not last...so the 3-year lease all within warranty is a good way to go. And I took this lease 3 weeks before my Maxima comes off-lease. I was concerned that the February incentives would be worse (especially the residuals, seems like thry go down as we get closer to the new model year), but who knows what Nissan and NMAC will offer in February? So we went for it, this will make us way under-milegae for the first month in the Altima. I was very pleased with the whole experience. I did have two other dealerships that seemed to want to deal: Pinehurst Nissan had the very best pricing (typically $600-$750 under invoice) that I could find, and seemed to want to really deal (said they would make my last Maxima payment!). But they did not have a car in the color we wanted (red or blue w/ blonde leather), and they sometimes would "forget" things they had committed to me. They did have a black/blonde 2009 Altima w/ technology package that had factory fog lights, and if they held up to what they said they would do it would only have been about $5 a month more than the blue Altima we leased in an equivalent deal, with reduced fees to "make my last Maxima payment". But our 2007 Maxima SE is black and we wanted a change. Plus w/ the technology package the silver CD changer looks like an ugly afterthought centered in the woodgrain on the console. Looks better with the silver trim, which you get w/ the charcoal seats (but those are too hot in the summer). Also Deacon Jones Nissan in Goldsboro was very willing to deal, $500 under invoice. We were set on a red one there ($1500 total up-front, $309 a month...nets out to about $342 a month total) but fog lights killed the deal, they said it would add about another $17 a month. They wanted $630 to install them and their $499!! doc fee was outrageous. They said they were "all-in" but once we had the deal on the blue one they offered to match the deal, and increase the monthly payment by just $4. But they were good to work with. I want to thank all the contributors (especially Car_man) for the help on this forum. And advice: The color combos we wanted were very rare, I searched the Nissan site for inventory at every dealer within 300 miles and there were just 4 red or blue w/ blonde leather and at least both convenience and connection packages. Dealers were much more interested in dealing for their on-the-lot stock. My advice is, use the web to find the dealers that have your exact color/option combos, and play those dealers against each other. They will all ask "when are you going to come in"...just insist that you are going to do this by phone and email (mainly email). And they just about ALL said they would deliver.
Re: 2006 350Z Touring [newz]

Hi. I saw your post and would like to ask you a question. That price of $30,730 for a 2006 350Z sounds like a great deal. Is it the convertible? I'm looking for one right now and grew up in the Clearwater/Largo area and would consider coming down from South Carolina if the price would make it worthwhile?
Heard that one too ramped1

Someone from Crown Nissan in Greenville, SC called me up and wanted me to come over because they are offering $1500 back on the 2004s and $2000 back on the 2003s. I am waiting until the 2005 debuts though...I can't see myself buying one so soon, when the 2005s come out in April. I can't wait! The salesmen seemed eager to get me in the 2004, but he had no manual transmissions, and I know I want a stick shift, so I told him to catch me next month and I may go in to order a 2005 if the interior and the cosmetic changes are to my liking. Finding a stick in ANY family sedan outside of the Mazda6 and the VW Passat is DIFFICULT. Even for the sporty Altima/Maxima sisters. I can't find one within the area ranges of Charlotte, Atlanta, Greenville (SC) and Columbia (SC). So I will order one if possible. BTW, I have a feeling that Nissan will display the 2005 Altima at the Chicago Autoshow because the show should began right around the time the Altima should debut if rumors are correct. The Chicago Autoshow is in Feb.
