Lookin to get into an Atima 2.5 s or 2.5 sl

[nance65]

I'm looking to buy an Altima 08 2.5 sl.

So far best I've been quoted

for 2.5 sl $ 33,855.00 - before tax is $29,960.18 and I now I got it down to $32,500.00 before tax is $28,761.06

All pricing includes taxes and other costs, these are total out the door prices.

Is this a good deal? What have most of you pay for it you have brought one this year?

How low can I go???

No, what is that?

No, what is that?

Hmmm, somebody else can probably explain it better than me.

APA is www.apa.ca, basically they negotiate for you or something and give you a price...

I noticed its a paid member program, is it worth it and has anyone had a good experience with these type of websites??

From what I've heard around these forums, people pay $60 for memberships and save $1000-$5000 on the car without much negotiation.

when i was looking for a sedan last year....i priced out the altima 2.5 SL and it had approx 2800 markup from the invoice price.... just find a dealer that will give it to for 3000 under the retail price.... the markup/factory rebates for the 08/09 might have changed , so you might want to sign up with car cost canada or apa.

[nance65]

so which one would you recommend since apa seem to be american and cost canada i assume is canadian.

thanks for the recommendation, so i should try to get $3000 off the retail after or before tax?

$3000 under MSRP??

[Maxspeed]

why not offer it to some dealerships..... who knows, someone might bite....if no one bites then raise your offer 300 over invoice...

$3000 under MSRP??

the markup for the 07 SL altima was approx 2800. I dont know what it would be for the 08/09 altima SL....

apa.ca ....is American? Seriously?

You are right, its a canadian site. But which site should I use?

[Maxspeed]

carcostcanada.com

[nance65]

carcostcanada.com

Is there a particular reason? Cause I am now able to get almost $5,000 off the MSRP without any of these websites.
