if you have excellent credit and your APR is 7.5% that is high. I got 5.29 from Penfed credit union. 30000 is that after tax and title only? I put 5000 down, and my total came out to be 30000K and that is the V6 w/ premium pkg. I did get a few things included. How many years are u financing? Sounds like 3 yrs? I would suggest using a loan calculator to figure out what your payment should be

I don't know anything about down payments and APR financing and such. However I know that you can order a LOADED 2.5 on the Nissan website for $29,565. Did you get any extended warranties or something?

Your missing a lot of variables to figure this out!

What was your final negotiated price, tax rate, and term on loan? The 30k is that after it's all said and done in the end?

Bought the car here in glendale ca..if that matters..thx again guys!

I hope some other people weight in on this. I have a 2.5 AC with the convenience package. I think my grand total is 24,000. I put 12gs down and my payments are 249 a month.

Take it back.

here's mine:

3.5 6mt, precision grey, tinted windows, blue tooth, ipod hookup, and carpets. Got the gold maintenance plan($2k option) i owed about 10k on the Spec-V, it was worth about 5...so -5k equity.

I'm out the door after everything for 30k, i put 1k down, plus they paid off my old car (so thats like getting a 5k discount on this car). my payments are 500 a month, my apr is 6.25 and i filed for bankruptcy 2 years ago.

so....do the math.

Hmm I dunno man. Is 30k going to the entire cost of the vehicle, in other words what you will have paid once the loan is over. Thats what I would guess it is. I dont think a dealer would screw you over that bad and charge you 9k over the value of the car. I have a 2.5 with premium and tech package, I also was dumb enough to get an extended warrenty. IT ended up being just a smidge over 30k. I didnt finance it though so I am not sure

http://www.bankrate.com/brm/au...+2012

If you go to that site its a loan calculator, and it seems that 30k is the final price you will have paid once you own the car

I paid $28,600.00 for a 3.5 CVT fully loaded (premium package and technology package) altima coupe. This was the lowest price I could get .........I tried 28K but no would take my offer so $28,600.00 was what I paid. Guys shop around.......... the economy suck, cars are not selling........ take advantage of this and don't pay one penny over invoice and for god sakes do not pay MSRP........I paid $850.00 UNDER invoice.

Hmmm, that doesnt sound too far off. Mine is gonna come out to around 28K total for payoff if I go out the full term. It is, however, a 2.5S convenience package. Price before everything is 20.8K, 1900 down and a 7.9% interest.
