$37,000 for a 2001 SE AE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#1
Those of you in the LA area , you may know about this dealership. All others you may want to take the time to read this also. I stopped by GLENDALE NISSAN yesterday to pick up and have installed a latch for my center console. While I was waiting for my car I strolled around the dealership to look at the new Maximas. They had 3 Anniversary Editions on the lot. They had 2 Sterling Mist and 1 Dark Blue. I checked the price on all 3 and the term STICKER SHOCK came to my mind immediately. The dark blue one was $37,000 and change!!!!!!!!! They were asking $5000 above factory sticker for an AE with an Auto trans!!!! I could not believe my eyes. The other 2 had a maunual transmission and were $36,000 and change!!!! A salesman came out, and of course wanted to know if I was interested in buying one. I outright told him......"you really think someone is going to pay almost $40,000 for a maxima????" I told him that I payed $26,000 plus tax and license for a fully loaded SE one year ago at another dealership(Performance Nissan). I could not believe that this dealership would ask so much over factory sticker for a car. A few minutes later my car was ready and I was very happy to know that I paid $10,000 less for a fully loaded SE one year ago.

That what they like call dealer mark-ups. The reason why they are adding that huge mark-up is because of the demand of that car. Come on now, you can't just walk in the any Nissan store and say "Hey buddy, I want an AE Maxima in sterling mist, black leather, traction control and no 6-CD changer." I mean how many dealerships would have that particular car? So thats why dealerships make it hard and ask for like $5,000 over M.S.R.P which I think is ridiculous, but if someone wants its that bad then will pay more for it I guess. Plus I bought my car at Glendale Nissan and got my 2000 GLE, fully loaded with a 6-cd changer for $25,789 last year. They do good business.

$$$$$$$$
The dealership in question probably added this markup in order to start a deal moving down from increased $$ versus someone coming in and wanting to ****er below MSRP. They have a 5k spread that is complete profit and thus if they give even 3k back your still above MSRP. When I worked at Buick (lot boy) in 86-87 we did this on all Turbo T's, GN's, and GNX's. Sorta weeds out the wanna be's versus the player also !!!!!!

Not unusual...
I paid close to invoice on my AE, but the dealer had marked up MSRP by $3K...over $33K when I walked on the lot. I just laughed and crossed the dealer markup off the little sheet of paper and then started from invoice.

$37,000 for a Maxima?!?!? Good god! If those AEs were lined with gold and silver, then maybe.
But no Maxima is worth that much (except in our hearts where it's priceless). Shoot, anything over $30,000 and you start to get into the luxury car market which is a place that the Maxima doesn't fall into...at least not until 2003.

I never ever buy the window price, when i bought mine i told them what's my price and if they agree to it. After 1 week the dealer called me and agreed, I payed cash though.

Oh yeah, btw, is that $6K off MSRP valid for AEs?

37K FOR AN AE?!?!?!?!? WHERE? THAT IS A GREAT DEAL!! I WANT ONE RIGHT NOW!!! LETS SIGN THE PAPERS!!!
Is what a stupid consumer would say without research his/her purchase That dealer must have alot of costumers since they offer an AE for that price and are still in business.

If we have 37grand, we could move upto a Lexus GS or even a Volvo T5.

20,000.00 in US dollars equals 30,798.00 Canadian dollars.
Conversely:
37,000.00 in Canadian dollars equals 24,027.53 US dollars
I guess your statement IS accurate. You could also say that you got your car for less than 50grand Canadian.

Why do you think they call it LA LA land? I to paid at invoice for a fully loaded SE (everthing except heated seats/mirrors and side airbags) which was $26k even.
Even in seattle they are now asking $32K for 2001s.
If the cars depreciated like a Benz or BMW that's one thing, but as we all know our cars drop in value like Rossane Barr on a bannana peel )

got my 2001 Se maxima fully loaded for 24,800. my brother in law has bought 3 maximas in the last 7 years from Quirk Nissan. plus he used to be a salesman, he knows what they get them cars for. so he talked them down and just kept on insisting. it comes to the poinnt that sometimes they give up, or they either have to put food on the table.
i am happy with my purchase.. but i can't believe 37 for the AE. i would have left and told him i would go for the lincoln LS. did you know lincoln charges you more for a manual than an auto.
