Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (arthwerks)
looks very nice but it seems that most coupes i've seen so far has been all 3.5s. i thought nissan said that the 2.5 is going to be the more popular model. i wanna see a black 2.5.

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (arthwerks)
when i frist heard about the altima coupe i thought it was going to be the next great thing.. but i keep looking at the pics and i really dont like it all that much... its a cheap 350 body line and 07 altima hootnanny. but thier is only two ways it does catch my eye and thats the back and the side of it. also it would of beeen even a better looking car if it was givin better rims. and the same goes for the 07 altima, the only thing thats differnt from it and my 03 is start push button, GPS, dual climate and CVT...
start push button - eh.. i like keys GPS - i know where im going dual climate - i got windows that go up and down CVT - shiffting is way better

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (terrormaschine)
The car is nice, although I don't like white. I want to get a 2.5s in Azure Blue Metallic or Dark Salte Grey. The rims are not the problem, it's the splash guards the ones that take away from the design.

haha yea i dont know why they would put splash guards on a coupe in the first place...
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (terrormaschine)
Then you really didn't look at the new sedan, and you definitely didn't sit in one. I have a 2005 and I just test drove the 2007 SL. It was awesome. The CVT was phenomenal, the leather was soft and the inside was was more refined. It was beautiful. The body is quite different with greater sloping windshields and a tapered rear. The only thing I'm not quite sold on is the tailights really. I wish they had classier tailights.terrormaschine wrote:when i frist heard about the altima coupe i thought it was going to be the next great thing.. but i keep looking at the pics and i really dont like it all that much... its a cheap 350 body line and 07 altima hootnanny. but thier is only two ways it does catch my eye and thats the back and the side of it. also it would of beeen even a better looking car if it was givin better rims. and the same goes for the 07 altima, the only thing thats differnt from it and my 03 is start push button, GPS, dual climate and CVT...

I still prefer the coupe. I'll just have to see what the availability is and if the price will be more negotiable in a couple months when my current lease is up. 4 payments left. Right now no coupe will go for less than MSRP. I would never lease it at that price.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (mlubes11)
Hopefully it goes under MSRP, I want to get a 2.5s with CVT, $2000 down, less than $250 a month for 48 months, I need a car before August and this would be my first car. I've heard some people say they will be overpriced but we can't say anything until we really see if they are. Where I live there's a lot of Nissan dealer competition so hopefully that'll help. My favorite dealer where my parents are customers have over 100 sedans in stock, another salesperson from another dealer told me that he'll call me as soon as he gets them to test drive it and that he'll have good deals, like on the sedan, what do you guys think?mlubes11 wrote:

i have driven the 07 before twice the 2.5 and 3.5 around the time they frist came out.. and eh im glad i didnt rethink it and traded my 03 in for either of them, as for the leather i dont like leather cause of the heat here in TX sux i had a 98 lexus es300 with leather and i hated the seats in the winter/summer cause they will be either super cold or super hot. but you are right about the tail lights.

Re:
To me, I don't like the rims either. Lowered with better rims it looks much better and more aggressive. Here is a sample with G35 19" rims

Re: Re: (audtatious)
now that looks good it being lowered and the rims totaly make it better looking. i would have to see one with a nice body kit and a differnt grill. and its a good thing that they didnt give the coupe the tail lights from the 07.. and they shoukd have given the 07 those tail lights
Re: Re: (terrormaschine)
Dig those rims!I'm going to be discussing my 18" rim options with my dealer soon. Hopefully they can accomodate some Infiniti rims for my Coupe!!
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (Carlosf22)
An Altima for $2,000 down and $250 a month for 48 months? Not possible. Do the math. 250 times 48 equals $12,000. Add your $2,000 down payment and you are at $14,000. The invoice on a base Altima with a 6-speed transmission is in the 18s. No rebates (yet) and no real need for them at this time. All of this and you have to consider tax, title, and license. Maybe a used Altima. But this problem is not just with Nissan. All vehicles have gone up in price over the last 10 years. But there are also a lot of 10 year old Nissan's on the road today. Remember the old saying, you get what you pay for. Good luck.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (arthwerks)
He's prolly talking about leasing it for 250. I don't think there's gonna be anyone who can finance it and pay less than 300 a month, you'd need to put like 12,000 down to do that.arthwerks wrote:An Altima for $2,000 down and $250 a month for 48 months?

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (toxik)
Of course, I'm talking about leasing, no way I'll be able to buy it. Remember that in a lease you pay the depreciation of the car, the Coupes around my area are selling for $21,740, in 48 months the car would cost more than $14,000, so the lease is around $8,000, the money factor and the interest is the problem. My parents are paying the same thing for an 06' Altima that had an MSRP of $21,400 and at lease end they can buy the car for $14,500. So I have hopes that it would be like that. Today I passed by a Nissan dealer but it was raining so I couldn't go see the cars, they were probably inside the Showroom but there were two Armadas right on the window. The ones around my area have not been sold so it is not as bad as people are saying, two dealers here have the exact car I want.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (Carlosf22)
Okay Carlosf22,
I think everyone should be prepared when they go car shopping. Here you go.
48 month Altima coupe lease. Money factor 0.00295 Residual 6-speed 44% CVT 46%
Hope this helps.
That was 2.5S numbers. The 3.5SE has the same money factor but the residuals are as follows. 6-speed 42% CVT 43%

Hey where did you get the lease rates? I noticed they still don't have them up on nissan's site. I'm trying to figure what my payments would be on a 3.5SE with 4,000 down on a 36 month leasearthwerks wrote:Okay Carlosf22,

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (toxik)
I have a friend that works at a dealership.
36 month residuals for 3.5SE (money factor is the same)
6-speed 53% CVT 55%
One thing. These numbers are good through May 31st. I don't know if they will change after that.

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (arthwerks)
Thanks, I'll do the math now.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (arthwerks)
Did the math. With those numbers it would be $290+ tax something I can't afford. Hopefully those numbers change for the better by July.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (Carlosf22)
I'll keep you informed if I hear anything different.

are the coupe lease rates close to those of the sedan? or are the lease rates higher?arthwerks wrote:I'll keep you informed if I hear anything different.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (toxik)
I called a dealre a couple weeks ago and they told me they would have "good" deals, and the rates would be like the ones on the sedan so come over. Today my mom called the dealer she leased her Altima from and they told her they would be getting 2-dozen coupes next week, right now the inventory says 1 coupe and over 100 sedans, that's a big dealer, hopefully they are eager to sell them, there's a lot of competition here.toxik wrote:a

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (toxik)
Sedans are better for 36 and 39 months.
Money factor 36 month---0.00199 39 month---0.00230
Plus you can find a dealer that will give you a less than sticker selling price on a sedan. The problem with the coupe is that they are so new, some states will not even have them to sell to walk in customers until September because their entire allotment is pre-sold. You won't be able to get one of these below sticker for 4 or 5 months.

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (arthwerks)
I preordered mine for well under sticker. I ordered a 3.5SE CVT with Premium Package. Sticker was $29,215 but I ordered it for $27,615. Gets here in July. Just gotta find the right dealer.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (pr5)
I went to the dealership again today to check out the coupe and talk to the dealer i talked to before it came out. Well I came out very impressed with the coupe, they had the 3.5SE fully loaded on the floor and it is definet. the car that I want. Unfortunately, they still didn't have the lease rates available so I didn't leave a deposit yet. As soon as they have the rates and I know how much I'll need to put down, I'm gonna reserve one.
Another thing, from the sound of it, the dealership doesn't expect to have any supply problems, they said they are getting a whole bunch of them within the next 2 weeks. But, I'll see cause you never know.

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (toxik)
I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two if I got the deal I wanted. I haven't seen any so far, but the dealers have them.
Re: Ladies and Gentlemen---The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5SE (Carlosf22)
I wouldn't worry dude, I'm sure you'll be able to get a 2.5s for around 250 a month. The dealer I saw today even told me the same thing, and thats with the convinience package.Carlosf22 wrote:I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two if I got the deal I wanted.
