Nissan Altima Prices Paid & Buying Experience

Re: VPP D-Plan [desiboy123]

Written by: jchan2 on May 27, 2008 01:39 PM

For VPP, I think what you do is you pay cost for everything (invoice, plus invoice pricing on any and all factory installed options), subtract a small discount from Nissan, and add the delivery fee and destination. If you're an employee, Nissan will pay the delivery fee, if you're using "friends and family", you pay half, they pay half, and I guess for your plan ... Read More...

Written by: e_thereal on Jan 16, 2008 04:37 PM

I"m trading in my 2005 mercedes C55 AMG for 29750. This has no bearing on the price of the Altima since I owe more on the Mercedes than what I'm receiving for the trade. The price of the Altima is $20k (includes 1K rebate) even plus $185 for doc, registration and title fees. There are no taxes because of the trade. The car msrp is $22875. This is from Town North Nissan ... Read More...

Edmunds complains about "too-soft" of a ride, yet ... Read More...

She now has almost 50k miles on it but recently she has had to physically press the transmission release button (built internal into the gear shift box) frequently when she wants ... Read More...
