Is the price my dealer gave me a good deal? I need help deciding!

[nygibs]

Hi everyone!

I'm interested in buying a 2010 Nissan Versa. I've been to three local dealers, and I have good quotes from two of them. Can you help me determine whether the quotes they've given me are good deals?

Both quotes are for a 2010 Versa Hatchback 1.8 S model with additional Power Pack added (for cruise control). They both also include Floor Mats, Splash Guards & Full Window Tinting. The MSRP is $16,065, or so both dealers say! They also say the invoice is $15,381.

From John Mirazzi Nissan in Naples, FL:$14,130 Sales Price-$1,000 Trade In for my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan with 159K miles in "good" condition.+699 Dealer Fee+ 335 Tag & DMV Fees+ 831 Tax

$14,996.10 OTD price, at 0.9% interest for 60 months, $0 down, for payments of $255.79.They also have a "win wheel" prize thingie with a minimum prize of $100 in value. And they will guarantee a replacement car or a shuttle for longer repairs.

From Sutherlin Nissan in Fort Myers, FL:$14,493 Sales Price-$1,000 Trade In for my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan with 159K miles in "good" condition.+689 Dealer Fee+ 148 Tag & DMV Fees+ 854 Tax

$15,192.69 OTD price, at 0.9% interest for 60 months, $0 down, for payments of $259.96.They have no win wheel or other prize type incentives. And they wouldn't guarantee a replacement car or a shuttle for longer repairs.

------------------------------------------

So you can see that the OTD prices from both dealers are almost identical. But is that a good price at all? What if they're both really high? What if they're both really low? John Mirazzi Nissan seems to have much better reviews and customer service. But the question isn't which dealership. The question is is this a good deal at all, or should I go back and see if they can do better?

Any help, feedback or ideas would be great. This is my first new car purchase, and my first time having a car loan payment at all. I don't really know what I'm doing.

Thank you,

go for offer #1

Dude. I would have loved to get that deal. I put $2k down and pay $315 a month for 5 years.

Sounds like a good deal.

I bought my '08 Versa SL HB used with 9,938 miles. $0 down. Financing $225/month for 60 months.

Both sound like good deals. Much cheaper than what you will find over here.

Go with whatever one has the exact car you want !!!

Invoice should be around $14,700 for a manual and about $15,600 for the auto. I'm a fan of rebates over low interest. Did you check local banks to see what they'll charge you for interest? Some banks offer you a $100 credit toward your bank for refinancing the loan with them, so doing the number crunching for $1500 rebate at bank finance of 5.5% for 5 years you might pay less.

Your current offer seems good, it just depends on if you want to fight for more off.

Don't know about Florida prices, but in Texas, I bought my 2010 Versa 1.8S HB with ATX power package and VDC for $14,400 drive out.

I bought my 1.8S Manual here in Florida and paid out the door inc all taxes and fee's $13,500. Financed over 3 years which I'm paying a bit extra on meaning it should be "mine" in about 2! I should also mention that mine did not come with the power "option" believe it or not I have to wind up and down windows and even use a key to open the door lol It did come with the mats, overpriced mats to be honest lol

Sounds like a good deal to me! My advice shop around a few more dealers and tell em dealer X is giving me an out the door price of X can you beat it. You may very well shave a few more $$ off the price!
