Invoice price for 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5S and SL?

[pennywize]

Checked out the 2009 Altima and quite impressed with it. Anyone buy the 2.5S or SL and have any feedback on the car?

They're currently doing a 0% financing rate for 3 years - or 1.9% for 5 years.

If anyone has an invoice, please let me know.

I bought mine in November but i think i got it at 2.9%... so not sure if you if you still want to know my invoice price.. It would be for the 2009 altima sedan with the convenience package in manual.

I picked up my brand new 2009 Altima 2.5 S with AC and Conv Pkg a few weeks ago. I had asked around for a CCR but no luck. I did some vague calculations based on other Nissan markups. Managed to get mine for $26K plus tax with about $600 in other options. I was starting to think it wasn't as good a deal as I thought. Thanks for for posting the CCR now I feel better. If anyone wants a referral to a good dealership let me know. We worked out my deal via email and didn't have to waste time haggling in the sales office.

Thanks for the invoice!

But what does this mean? Trading Dollars/Factory to Dealer Rebate $1,500.00 March 2, 2009

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal! Was yours the auto transmission? Can you PM me the dealership info? Thanks

It means that Nissan is actually discounting the MSRP by 1500$ until March 2, 2009. A nice dealer will pass this on to you. A crooked dealer will sell you the car at 1000$ discount and like they are doing you a favour.

[mocha'n'me]

I had one dealer tell me that even though Nissan is offering a $1500 rebate it costs them $1000 to obtain the rebate. Ridiculous! And even other dealerships didn't even mention the rebate. No surprise that I didn't buy from either of them!

[mpsrent]

The $1,500 is real money that Nissan will give the dealer. As soon as you let the dealer know that you are aware of the trading dollars, the deal improves dramatically.

Take the 2.5S with CVT and convienence package as an example. The total dealer cost including air tax is $26,030. Take off $1,500 and you have the real dealer cost (ignore any hold back as you won't get that). Then add what you feel is fair as an offer to the dealer.

In this economic climate, you should be able to get away with 2% or 2.5% over dealer invoice less incentives. So if dealer cost on this sample car is $24,530, add $570 profit and try $25,100. You should be able to nail that price. I found one at $24,804 plus PST and GST if that helps.

Did the $24804 include Freight/PDI and Air condition tax?
I always wonder if that is something you should try to negotiate into the final price before taxes...

[mocha'n'me]

A/C Tax is non-negotiable it's a government imposes fee. Negotiate every other little thing though. In the end it's the overall price including everything you want and need to pay that counts. Otherwise, they may try to tack on additional fees.

[mescalito]

Do the same rates apply to the 3.5 SE models as well?

Anyone have invoice on one with leather pkg?

Thanks. I didn't know you could negeotiate the Freight&PDI also.
I'm trying to get an Altima 2.5 SL, but the dealer is not budging under 33K

[ml_luv]

I got mine which was a 2.5 manual with the convenience package for 31k but thats including $3260 added on which was negative equity. So i got my car for about 28k was never really sure if i got a good deal as i didn't shop around at any other nissan dealers but regardless i was just really happy to get a car that i knew i would be happy with.

You're not really negotiating the freight & pdi it's the total cost. What you're putting out of pocket.

[mpsrent]

Freight & pdi are fixed costs. You really don't negotiate them, what you are negotiating is the vehicle price. The $100 air tax is also fixed.

When I negotiate I work on the total price plus GST, PST and license. That's it. I have no interest in admin fees, etching etc. and I make it very clear to the sales rep to get to the point.
