Re: Hey ray, what do you think about this Altima?

I could not open the link you provided, send it in an email

Re: Hey ray, what do you think about this Altima?

Email sent..

Re: Hey ray, what do you think about this Altima?

You could not get an answer on remaining warranty " makes me laugh " an honest seller will provide an in service date up front provided there is nothing to cover.

I am not 100% sure but I will phone the dealer as something I found in the listing is not kosher in my mind compared to some of their other listings, now if you're a smart cookie study some of their other listings on autotrader.com compared to this one, and tell me what I found ?

I will post my summary after conversation with dealer

Re: Hey ray, what do you think about this Altima?

Other cars similar are running a few thousand higher in many of the car sale sites. I was a bit weiry... but mabe they need to unload? What did you think? You said you were going to ring the dealer..

Re: Hey ray, what do you think about this Altima?

Good thing you reminded me to call, it had slipped my mind.

I don't know how some dealers sell cars not having answers up front, but thats part of the game when you are asking about a car being sold not certified " that alone sends red flags " if you look at the fine print for this car it states some vehicle's sold " as is "

I also asked about the warranty and had to phone back and still did not get the answer I was looking for " the in service date " that will tell me the full balance of warranty dates remaning.

When a dealer advertise a car in the fine print not certified, it becomes a leverage to tag onto the $16,995 or the car simply needs to much work, in this case I am sure it's the leverage the dealer is looking for along with other undisclosed fees. I am told one owner no accidents.

If you want to persue you know the steps having studied the website.

I didnt end up goin for it, just smelled to fishy.

Re: Hey ray, what do you think about this Altima?

Ray, So I actually went and checked it out. Didnt't look to bad, but the numbers didn't match at all. he started in the twenties. I brought the ad in showing the ad price and he gave me some mumbo jumbo. Walked right out... So I've decided to go a different route. Lets see if you can help.

I know this a used car forum, but I think I may go with a new Altima. 2009 nissan Altima 2.5 S sedan. Convenience package, spoiler, mats etc. SO my question is... What do you think realistically I could get the car for, the lowest possible. The total MSRP says 23,705 So I figure a 12-20% haggle off that. Nissan then has a $1,500 cash rebate avaialble, along with the C.A.R.S $3,500 rebate I would qualify for. So realistically, what do ya think?
