Georgia Nissan Car Dealers

It appears the loyalty cash and the pull ahead programs are not in effect this month. Lease deals are up about $50.00 per month right now. With gas prices where they are, those incentives may return later this year so waiting a while to see may be the best course.

I'm going crazy with the analysis. Our 1997 Maxima has about had it. The engine is still great, but things are FINALLY starting to fail on it...and it doesn't look that great. It's time for a new car, then. Or at least a new one to us. Here's all of the inputs into the decision... 1. As you may have guessed, we drive cars until they are dead dead dead. We'll want this one to last 10 years. I have a GREAT mechanic, too. 2. Certainly the cost is very importanat. We finally got done paying off our 2006 Honda Odyssey, our first new car. We will have had zero car payments for 2 months before we get into this one. 3. Our credit scores are good - above 800. 4. Gas mileage is important, so we'd like a 4 cylinder. 5. Leather in important, due to the kids. I also think it tends to hold up much better over a long time vs fabric, and, since we plan on keeping the car for a long time, that may be important. 6. Audio. Hmm. Yeah, I really like the Bose system in the Maxima, but the Bose option adds another $1,000 to the price of a new car. Also, once you install a Bose, you're locked into it - it's totally proprietry. I can see getting the "stock" audio system and someday replacing it with a double DIN audio system with backup camera, etc. We're in SE Wisconsin, and TrueCar says the "Best Price" around is $25,077 (not including the rebate) for an SL with stock audio, add on Bluetooth, and mats. Certified Used 2009 SL's with around 30,000 miles are around...they're going for around $20,200 "Certified Dealer Retail", $19,112 Retail, $17,101 Private Party, and $15,037 Tradein via Edmunds pricing. Nissan has the new car 0 percent financing, but they also have low interest on their certified used cars.... 1.99% for 48 months, 2.49% for 60. Buying a loaded used SL seems great until you compare it to the cost of NEW Altima S with Convenience - $22,679, according to TrueCar. Cloth seats, but still a nice little car...but without the gadgets we've grown accustomed to in our Maxima (in Wisconsin, the heated leather seats are AWESOME). Where is my question? Let's start with this - what do you think regarding new "S" vs used SL? Next, I don't understand pricing the used SL. Edmunds indicates the Dealer Certified, but I'm not paying that. Where do I start negotiating? The way I see it, they're getting the car for trade in value, putting maybe $500-$750 in it for the reconditioning and the silly limited warranty, and they want to make some profit in there. Should I start at trade-in value + $1,000 and go up, with a realistic deal price of somewhere between the private party price and dealer retail? Ah! I don't think we can swing the new SL...that's a lot of coin.

Just picked up new 2011 Nissan Frontier C/C SV w/4WD & premium package w/ floor mats & VIN etch (didn't want but they threw in) + full tank gas (today that's worth something). MSRP-$29,155 Selling Price--$22,693.49 Plus TTL & doc fee ($156.08-ILL) Black ext & steel interior M'Lady, Crystal Lake, ILL/Robert was sales person. Easiest transaction in 40 years!!

"How did you get it down so low?" I bought this car from a dealer more than 100 miles away so I dealt only with their internet sales dept by email. They gave me a firm itemized quote and even the VIN number of the car so I could look it up in their inventory through the internet. By the time I got up there the car was all prepped with a full tank of gas. All that was left was a short test drive and paper work. I think the real question is not how did I get the price down but how did the dealer get the price down. Here's the numbers taken off of my purchase agreement - the only legal binding agreement between the dealer and the buyer in my state: MSRP ("STICKER PRICE") 16885 BASE PRICE OF VEHICLE INCLUDING FREIGHT 14748 TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE 14748 REBATE -1500 TOTAL TAXABLE SALE PRICE 13248 SALES TAX 861.12 DOCUMENT FEE 75.00 TOTAL LICENSE FEES 63,88 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE ON DELIVERY $14248 If you can make sense of the these numbers you are a better man than me. This OTD price was $1440 less than the best I could negotiate with my local Nissan dealer so it does pay to look around. A few thoughts: This was the largest Nissan dealer in my state. They had about 18 Versas on the lot and for them it was a clean cash-no trade deal and maybe they had a cash flow problem. Also better buy quick they are closing down the plants in Japan and that can't mean anything other than higher prices. Good Luck

With a sticker of about $31k, I paid about $26.5k on 1-29-11. I took the 0% APR through NMAC instead of all the rebates, so that's why my selling price wasn't as low as some deals you may have seen advertised.
