Couple of things to remember.
The sticker on the car is called a Maroonie Sticker, it's required by law for a manufacturer to place this sticker in the window from the factory so that customers can see how what the Manufacturer's recommend sale price. Gives you an idea if the dealership is ripping you off.
You can go to www.kbb.com and actually find out what the dealership paid for the car.
Also one thing to find out, ask how long the car has been on the lot.
I don't know Nissan does this, but i know Ford does with their dealerships, a dealership buys a car on credit from the Manufacturer and if the dealership sells within so many days, usually 30-60 days, they pay no interest, if not, they start paying fees on a daily basis. Idea to keep out if you can get an edge int eh bargaining.
Another thing to do to really jack up the dealership, walk in with prearrange financing. It'll give them a reason to compete with what rate you have because dealerships get a "bird dog fee" for bringing customers to banks. Also it creates boundaries of what you're willin to pay. They can't get you for 28k + TTL if you are only financed for 26k, then they're really sellin the car for 23-24k +TTL.
Just remember, there are other options, there are always car sales going on, January and February are generally the slowest months in the year so that's a better time to buy. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
