2002 SE with Navigation

For those of you with the 2002 SE with Navigation. How much did you all pay as your final negotiated price? (not your monthly payment) Im thinking about selling mine and getting the 2002, but havent decided. I can get the Nissan "friends and family" deal if I buy, but I prefer to lease, but they dont do the deal on leases for some reason. The deal comes out to approximately 2.5% under invoice, minus any rebates.

Can I become a friend? 2.5% under invoice, and then less any rebates is an incredible deal!

don't see why it shouldn't. You'd have to get rid of the double-din Bose and get a single DIN head unit though. Also, I'm not sure where the GPS antenna is in the car.. There's also a speed sensor too..

You'd probably be much cheaper going with an aftermarket nav though in the end. :/

2k2 Maxima SE w/Nav

Sorry for the long bla, bla, bla....
As to the question "How much did you pay as your final negotiated price?". I negotiated $29,530 fully loaded invoices for $29,234.

Now when I say fully loaded I mean Meridian pkg., of course Nav, traction control, 4 painted mud guards, sunroof, sunroof deflector, leather, Bose 6 disc trunk mounted, and mats. The reason I explained this is because I find it funny when people say they have a fully loaded car and then say "minus ________" or say fully loaded but really don't. Sorta like "I'll have a chief salad but without the salad stuff."

Anyways, Nissan has a great deal right now 0.9% for 36 month or $1000 cash back. I asked a sales person yesterday what was being offered for 60 months and he said 3.9%. Then again I was talking to a sales person?(j/k) I plan on putting 9k down and paying all the TTL cash around $1500 so I'm opting for the the financing less interest over life of loan.

My brother works for Nissan in Colorado Springs, Co and after telling him what I negotiated the car for he said I didn't do too bad. I think he said he could get it for around 28500 so if I took the bait and went with the 1K rebate right now I guess I would have got the car for about the same price plus or MINUS a few hundred?

I paid $28,849 in Philadelphia, PA. You MUST print out a copy of Edmunds.com TMV and tell them you want that price. I actually demanded a lower price. Basically work your way UP from Edmunds' invoice, and DON'T pay above TMV! I bought 3-cars at Edmunds TMV set price for my bro & a friend.

My Max has every option except rear spoiler (F92) and sunroof wind deflector (R93). The black interior is VERY luxurious!

Hope this helps,
G

For those of you still looking, check out the Buying from Canada thread. Get an SE with just about everything (auto, Meridian pkg, traction control, side airbags, sunroof, leather, Bose/CD, mud guards, and mats (but no NAV) for about $24,000! That's 13% under invoice.

MajBlue2k2 is right... I figure if they're going to keep me there 3+++ hours to wear me down, I might as well get back at them by being somewhat "undecided"... tell 'em you like the TL-S even more & watch them sing to a different tune! "...well the TL-S has more headroom, which is important to me, and it's quicker 0-60..." Ha, just lie yous a$$ off! (but not too much, cuz you might not go to heaven, or even worse, they might not let your Max trough the gates when you get there!...

They gave me 2-years free inspections & $10 oil changes for 2-years (like I'll let THEM touch my precious! HA!)

Oh yeah, I forgot about the free paint touch-ups! Good luck!
