28k with 13k miles is way too much! i got my 3.5se for 25k plus tax and licence fees and that was when they were rare and it was MSRP take it or leave it. for 28k you can get that exact car but brand new with 0 miles on it..... the 2nd one is a better deal

Nope, the first one was a premium package vehicle... no way you got a premium package 3.5 for 25K

Got mine for 26.8, two days ago. They lost 5 bucks on me according to the finance guy I was talking to when closing the deal.

Regardless, 28k for a 3.5 w/ 13k miles is too much, even with the Premium Package.

I bought my 3.5 loaded with 11 miles for just over 29k...compare that to a 3.5 without the tech package and with 12,989 more miles.

ya sorry i didnt clarify. i was comparing i paid 25k for my base CVT 3.5se and all the other one had was premium package which was what 3k more? 4k more? and now you can talk them down so for sure you can get that exact same car but with 0 miles for 28k

yeah, but we're talking about when most of us got our cars, last year.. back when these cars first came out.. even with A1 credit and a beacon score of 750, you weren't getting these cars for under invoice...period.. now you can get great deals on them, but that's what hasppens when you buy an 08 model car (that debuted in 07) in the middle if 08

This is true as well, but most dealerships don't lose money when they sell a car. There is no way the business could survive if they made no profit, much less lose money per vehicle. I highly doubt they lost any money on the transaction.

dealerships can/ do lose money or a few vehicles per month when they are trying to close them out and make room for the newer models... it makes more financial sense to move out an older unit at cost and get a newer unit in and sell it for profit...

if he bought a 3.5 woth premium package, brand new, for 26.8K, then yeah, the dealership definately made littl to no profit off of that...

they lost money on my mom's 2005 Nissan Altima when we got it brand new.. they called it something corny like "the lost leader" or something like that lol pretty much what they said is that they advertise a car, truck, SUV, or van at below there cost and only have 1 or maybe 2 at that price. when you get there they start to show you how another model has stuff the cheap one doesn't, and that its only a little more and then another model and even more for not too much more and so on. before you know it you leave the dealership spending thousands more then you planned on lol my mom doesn't like leather and didnt care about a navigation system so it worked out good for her lol i wanted premium package with mine but they didnt have any when i got my car
