That's pretty slick deal. It's my first purchase, didn't know too much how to negotiate. I got mine for [34,492 VPP - 4000 rebate] 30,492 [OTD 34,000 with tax] [Add more 2G for financing]

Since your already owned a 2010 max, Is it good to get chip protector for the car, dealer quoted it for 1000$. Also how to protect rear bumper, I'm seeing a small chip already on the back .

Hi All,

I've just joined the forum and I am from down under (Australia)!
Just to give you guys a heads up, here we do not get the US model maxima. We get the Asian Nissan Teana! They love it in China! It is similar to the US maxima, but looks different on the front and we do not get a lot luxury options like you do. Personally, I like the front look of the US Maxima more!

Anyways, we managed to get one for about AUD33,000.00 brand new, on the road, for 3.5L V6 VQ CTV model. We also get a cheaper 2.5L V6 here, but it's a dog on the road. You need at least 3.5L V6 to move the beast! Personally I would not mind a Nissan VQ40DE 4.0L V6 under the bonnet!

Currently trying to buy the rear deck trim from the BOSE equipped 2010-2011 US Maxima so we can fit rear 6x9 speakers. The stock non BOSE sound system in our cas is shockingly bad!

Cheers!

Hello,

I am new to the forum but have been reading for quite a while. I have driven Maximas for over 20 years and am ready to buy my next one.

I do have a question and could use some advice.

I will begin shopping for an SV with premium and tech package. Many dealers have Internet prices and of course there is TrueCar.Com.

I have a VPP plan through my employer. I dealer I just spoke with swears that I will get my best price (by far) with VPP. He says "this is your lucky day".....

Of course, I have heard things like this before.... If he is right, that makes things easier. Just looking for opinions.

new car buying question.

Im seeing $3000 incentive going on right now for 2011 MAX.
i know that cant combine with 0% apr.
my question is, can i buy out the car straight with cash to take that $3000 incentive offer?
or do i have to finance through Nissan to take that $3000 incentive?

and does the $3000 automatic take off from my paying price? or is it like a rebate or soemthing?

never brough a new car. thanks for any input.

Just traded in my 2009 for a 2011 earlier today, the $3K rebate is a instant discount off the price of the car and you're not required to finance, you can pay cash if you desire.

PretzelMan

I'm looking to get a SV with Premium, Tech, Spoiler, Splash Guards,and mats.

With the incentives, the best I'm getting now is about $33,700.

This includes Destination charges.

If I can find a color I like, I guess I will own a new Maxima.

Dealers all see to have a funny way of figuring out sticker price when they email me.

I'm looking for an SV with Sport, Tech, Splash Guards and mats. I have gotten two no-haggle prices. One is Navy Blue for 32,473 and the other is Silver for 31,999. Both of these are with the $3000 rebate and before TT&L. I am hoping that Nissan will add one more incentive before the end of August but I will probably buy the silver one in the next couple of weeks.

anish3232

I got the same car, sticker was over $40,000 and I got it for $31,750 plus tax

mistableu22

welcome!!

the true value of the maxima is far beyond the msrp!! we have a winner here!

PretzelMan

Some of you are getting what seems like fantastic deals....

I'm ready to pull the trigger, and the best I seem to be able to do is about $7,600 off of sticker. That seemed pretty good to me...

Others seem to have done much better. Congrats.

I've had to resort to making dealers give me an "out the door price" because many seem to have included fees on top of the original price they gave me. Now I can compare apples to apples.

Hope to own one within a week

sinjin69

It seems like some of the variance in discounts people are getting has to do with when the car was manufactured. I called a dealer today trying to get a deal. He matched the discount I got from the other dealer but the price was still $1,000 higher. The cars were identical in specifications but one was manufactured in July and the other last November before the tsunami. When I compared the MSRPs there was $1,000 difference. This was on a car with the sport and tech package.

PretzelMan

I have not seen the MSRP change from car to car (with the exception of dealer add ons).

I just gave a deposit today.

White SV with Premium and Tech Package
Spoiler
Splash Guards
Floor Mats
MSRP - $41,110
Purchased for $8k off sticker.
The only added cost was Tags, Title, Docs ($200) and Sales Tax.

Another dealer gave me a quote about $200 cheaper, but I preferred to stay with a local dealer who was very nice.

I'm happy. It was a very painless negotiation process. The internet really helps.

Pick it up on Saturday.
(Assuming they get my phone to work)
When I test drove, it would not download the contacts. I would like that to work.

i went and test drove a used 2010 maxima sv sport today. i came to the conclusion that the maxima will be my next car. i have been looking at acura tls, optima sx, maxima, avalons, i feel the maxima is the best compromise of sport and luxury.

now im having a hard time deciding on whether i want the sport with tech or the premium with tech

any insight??

I would have bought the 2010 black maxima sport, but it had 22,000 miles on it and they wanted $30,999. Lmao it didnt even have the tech package. ill pay the extra 3gs to get brand new.

RAY RAY

34,000 2011 sv with sport package ...

sg1214

I got sport bc I wanted a car with stock wheels I wouldnt have to change, but if u plan on buying aftermarket wheels get the premium.

ah_max11

Sport has a pretty harsh ride...consider yourself warned.

I got it because of the wheels too, but the ride is quite harsh because of suspension settings. If its just about the wheels, I can sell you my stock 19"

altdad45

2011 SV with cold and monitor package: 31,124 out the door (includes 7% local tax)
Went through usaa buying program. Dealer sucked (surprise) but good deal non the less. Just wanted the basics.

04avalon

i am realizing that prices in new jersey are about $2,000 less than the prices here in upstate NY. Sucks because i dont wanna drive 300+ miles to get a car. and the dealers up here wont budge on the price of $34,979.

BayRidgeNissan1015

since it is towards the end of the year, can all of these sales and discounts be considered for a lease. A Maxima S with nothing on it has a sale for around 32,000 making the lease cost around 330/month for it, since some of you are saying you can infact get the tech + sport packages on the SV for that cheap, is it possible a lease on these could run me high 200's/low 300's per month with a firm down payment.

RobIzWhoa

I just personally picked up an 11' max sv sport with sport tech and all and it came out to $32,000 flat plus taxes and all that b/s a lil over 35,400 best deal i got out of 5 other dealers

RobIzWhoa

Sorry i didnt add i did purchase in jersey and i am financing but planning to pay off in a month or two anyways so i took the 2500 cash back instead of the 0.9 apr and i put down 4500 down and payments are about 500 per month on tier 1 credit with 3.9 apr hope this helps u all !!!

BayRidgeNissan1015

are discounts towards the end of the year possible for leases, like a Maxima SV Sport + Sport Tech Package?

Mlang2000

Yes, the lease rates and prices for the 2011 Maxima are outstanding right now compared to other vehicles. I just leased mine a couple weeks ago.

PretzelMan

FYI....

If you have VPP....

Right now, you get A plan pricing plus the 2500 cash back.

That makes it a nice starting point for negotiations.

Its funny, but not all dealers know that. Many are willing to go below once they start competing.

Max11NJNY

I purchased a brand new 2011 Super Black SV Premium W/ Splash Guards, Impact Sensor, Trunk Organizer w/first aid kit & emergency kit, Floor Mats & Trunk Mat, Cargo Net and Spoiler for a total including taxes of $35,900 in New Jeresy.

Hi, I am on my way out the door to pick up a 2011 Maxima SV with sport package and the add on extras like floor mats, etc. for a overnight test drive. My question is,will this be a good deal?
2011 Maxima SV, sport package, floor mats, one year oil changes and car washes, I can't remember the other dealer add ons right now. Sticker 36852. Down to 30652. with 3000. rebate added. Trading in ex cond 2009 370z touring with added spoiler and 15500 miles. They gave me 25500. for the Z making a trade difference of 6369.00 out the door. Is that a good deal or should I push for more?

04avalon

If your trading in the Z, why dont you just pull the bumbers until it stretches out like on the comercials lol.

No but seriously it sounds like a good deal.

etannateetan

Just bought mine last saturday... Sticker price $41,774 every package but sports. i didn't want 19's and a stiffer ride. I paid only $30K out the door with ttl. they have a 7,000rebate on it and 1,078rebate for military. Look around before you buy.

etannateetan

Traded my 2004 350z in for it too. Those cars are quick with the proper setup and look pretty clean; but thats about it... they suck otherwise.

neohaker

One heck of a deal I got SV + Premium [Without Premium Tech for 500$ more] Looks like there was additional 1500$ after a day or two I bought it. Damn I would have got Premium Tech. Enjoy the Ride.

cwj

Ok I decided not to go with the sports, rode to much like my Z, when with the premium package and floor mats, splash guards etc. 7300.00 out the door. Not sure it was a great deal but its done now.

TommyBoy

This is a really good attitude and one that I need to adopt. I'm still going through analysis paralysis even though I know I want a new Maxima.

braymoore

just purchased a 2011 SV w/ monitoring and cold package. got it for 30,700 plus TTL. Is this a good deal. It came with floor mats, truck organizer, spoiler and mud deflectors. Traded a 2000 4 runner w/ 153,000 miles. Trade in was 4500. I think i got a good deal. any thoughts?

braymoore

Sorry added nav, zenon head lights, rubber mats and 2 years of free maintenance. final price is 31800 plus ttl. Trade was 4500 for 2000 4 runner. Is this a good deal?

Tallin

I just bought my 2011 SV with Premium and Premium Tech packages with 90 miles on it. I paid $32,555 before TT&L on the beast. Purchased at Bankston Nissan in Lewisville TX. Good luck! No trade in or anything either. Also got the loan amount down to 1.94% thru Nissan's bank for 60 months. Gotta say I got a pretty good deal. Sticker showed $40,355.

Blackxima

Just got quoted $29,300 out the door for a 2011 S. Is that good?

Dealer offers free lifetime warranty.

I was looking for 7th gen used, but I can get a new for just a little more and better finance rate.

magicaljerry

not good if that includes the cash back incentive

i was at 29,100, including tax tag & title, before the rebate even came out

use www.truecar.com to get an idea of what you should be paying

braymoore

Dealer just called and Nissan is adding an additional 500.00 above the 2500.00 rebate. They added on my deal. Yippieeeeee!!!!

Blackxima

Well, I pulled the trigger last night on a 2011 S. White w/charcoal interior.

The first quote was over the phone and they were figuring the VPP incorrectly. I had to show them how it worked. They were not taking the discounts off dealer invoice.

So with VPP and current rebates your looking at $4500 off dealer invoice. schweeeet!

Drove it home - $25500 before taxes ($7250 under MSRP). The new additional $500 rebate helped some!!! I think it is only avaliable during this holiday weekend. ............and got a 2.14% rate for 48 mos! And a lifetime warranty from dealer!!

You can not get a used 2010 for that.
