He did offer me one on his lot for $30,400. Only difference is no side curtain airbags. I was tempted but figured a couple hundred bucks is probably worth the chance of saving my noggin if i ever get t boned.. god forbid.

I can't ask for that! He might say No! lol It's an out of state dealer so I would have to drive back to cali everytime if I did have the buying skills to pull that off.. worth a shot though

This is not the time of the year to look for bargain basement prices. That begins when the dealer puts the first 2007 on the lot.
I heard that from a Nissan Fleet Manager when he was trying to get me to buy an 06 Base model......he knocked off $5k without me even saying a word.
OTD $28k
right.. invoice on a base model is $25,860 which makes it about 28k after cali taxes..
damn it.. why cant i settle for a base model?! lol
I think im going with this price though... if i can save $500 more later im not going to lose sleep over it.. I need a form of transportation asap
good luck with your basement shopping!

thanks for the momentum to push for a lower price on this thread.. i owe u a beer..
Still debating.. initially I was gonna drop 6 large but realized that if I was to put 0 down.. I would only pay $700 more within the 60 months in interest.. which is about $11 more a month in interest..
I know $700 is a good chunk of change but if you look at it in a span of 5 years... it doesnt look as bad
But yea.. still debating on what to down.. any advice? lol

Well im going to be honest with u. I work at a Honda dealership and Down payments are nothing more than commission for us (the salesman) cause the Closer will just take that money and make it dissapear in ur monthly payments bringing the monthly payments down very little. Keep ur 6k invest it and put 0 down. The salesman is gonna try his heart out for u to put a down payment. But I wouldnt. Hope this helps

Interesting, never looked at it that way. Looking at it from a mathematical perspective, the true reason for putting down is to lower the monthly and pay less interest in the long run.
Although you can always put your downpayment and invest it where the return is higher than your interest rate which technically makes the price for your purchase less.
I don't see the logic on why a dealer would get incentives on down payments.. I would've thought the opposite since they make more off you in the long run w/o a down.
Thanks for the heads up!
