Nissan Canada Fair Deal Program

[stereoca]

Was borwsing the Nissan Canada website today as I'm considering purchasing the Altima Coupe. Noticed they just posted what they call the Fair Deal Program to bring their prices to what U.S. buyers would pay. Here's the link: http://www.nissan.ca/en/buying...t.asp

Apparently you can get $4000 cash back if you buy the 3.5 A/C.

Does anybody know the details of this like if a trade in is needed or something?

I'm calling my dealer first thing this monday

Sounds like a very nice incentive, if it's true. Is it only for the 3.5? Even so, I think with this, Nissan can entice more people to buy the A/C and will increase their Canadian sales figures.

They give $2000 for the 2.5

Sweet. I hope they can do something for us. We picked up two Coupes (2.5S & 3.5).

Hello all, this is my first post and I'll stay on topic, I'll post a "hello I'm new thread" in a more appropriate place.

I was at the dealers today and was very pleased to hear about this program. The details are:

$1,000 to $1,500 off a Sentra $2,000 off an Altima 2.5 coupe or sedan$4,000 off an Altima 3.5 coupe or sedan$2,000 off the Altima Hybrid$4,000 off the Maxima$3,000 off the Quest

I believe, this only applies if you are buying the car outright as opposed to financing it

[SHIFT_2.5S]

Great to hear. I would've expected that they give more cash back for a hybrid since those are more expensive...

[SundaysChild]

Believe me when you are looking for a new car every dollar off helps.

I'm still trying to decide between a 2.5 or 3.5 and do I need (or want) the premium package. Decision time is this coming Monday.

Can you get this if you already bought your coupe? bembol - let me know if you can get dixie-401 nissan to refund you any money...

4000 still isn't enough

Better than nothing.

That is Very true. But compared to getting it from USA and bringing it up, it doesn't match.

Ya.. the 3.5 in Canada will still be about $2000 more expensive compared to USA. However, I don't know if the warranty on USA Nissan vehicles apply if you IMPORT the vehicle to Canada, I know there are many manufacturers that don't honor the USA warranty once exported out of the country. If that's the case with Nissan, I'll pay the extra $2000 to get that peace of mind knowing my A/C is covered under warranty.

UPDATE: I just read the warranty on the USA website and it says the warranty is VOID once registered outside the United States.

If we bought the altima a couple weeks ago...is it still possible to get teh 4grand back if we put 20grand deposite and a 20 grand finance?

this would suck for resell, since i paid 40g and the market price is 36... i hope i get 4grand back or il get so angry at this policy (just cause i bought it before this fair deal crap)

[stereoca]

I'm guessing that for those that have already purchased the A/C in Canada and all the paperwork has been finanlized before the this Fair Deal program, you WON'T be getting anything back. That's just the way it is any product you buy from stores that don't have some sort of price protection policy, even then, if the price drops on something you buy after your price protection policy has expired, there's nothing you can do. My brother had purchased a truck last year and is financing it for something like 3% which he thought was a good deal, the following week they were offering 0% financing plust some extra options, it was too late to get it changed, but at the time he still thought it was a good deal so he just accepted it. Don't get me wrong, I hope dealers can do something for you guys that had purchased the coupe already but how far back do they go giving refunds to people? there has to be a cutoff at some point and those that get cutoff right before that point won't be happy.

Thats not true, cause the IPOD is an example, since iphone was 800 or something and the price dropped to 500 they gave a 2-300 cash back tho those who paid original price

I'll be calling Walkey Nissan, Ottawa on Monday to see what they say. I won't be too impressed if they don't do anything (purchased Sept 1).

For anyone wishing to bring a U.S. Altima into Canada all the information can be found here: http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html

If indeed we are now within $2,000 - $4,000 of U.S. prices then I really don't think it is an advisable option.

There is no financing available and no warranty. You would probably have to spend about three days at least in the States to make all arrangements.

Then after it gets into Canada you have to have it modified to get a Canadian Certification permit.

In my mind I there are far too many expenses and far, far too many federal government people to deal with.

BTW it appears that according to Transport Canada the:2008 Sentra SER2008 Altima 4 doors Sedan2008 350Z2008 Maxima2008 Altima 4 doors Sedanare inadmissable.

I really hope Olympio/401-Dixie play nice, we picked our Coupes just over a month ago.

We're not expecting them to hand us back $6k. LOL

I'm hoping I might be able to get something back, since I'm on a lease, and haven't paid out the full amount yet...so maybe they can deduct something off of my buyback price.

I called Nissan Canada, I asked if they had any program to compensate ppl who have recently purchased their cars. She proceeded to put me on hold for 10min and when she came back she says I should call my dealer. So I pressed her a little more and she says "well... if we raised the price would you be willing paying us the difference after your purchase." Looks like Nissan is taking a page from the Apple IPhone price reduction.

Reverse psychology... I have no comment.

Damn, that was a good response on her part.....

[MagicM]

What were you thinking! you're suppose to say YES! She was told to reply with that response, but she won't have an answer to saying YES!.

i called them today...they siad no...becuase it wont effect ur resell value (BS) cause they said it only applies if u pay 100% cash without loan

But eitehr way it will effect ur resell a lil, since people would rather buy a brand new car then buy a second hand for like the same price...

since they can get a new one for let say 36, and ur second hand for 36(original 40)

This is what makes me mad! i have such bad luck i thought never to buy stock i wil be ok...gues not...same thing like a stock loss

[SHIFT_2.5S]

It happens. It's not like you could've looked to the future and predicted this cash back program.

[MagicM]

FUnny thing is other companies started doing it as well, Chrysler is now offering a US pricing deal, which amazingly looks like it's very close in comparasion. although Nissan has this program, Infiniti doesn't, and none of the upper luxury companies seem to offer it eithier. WHich sort of sucks.
