2009 Nissan Altima Overview

Price Range: $19,900 to $29,380

Our Price: Ask Us

The 2009 Nissan Altima gives the buyer limitless options but stays true to its high performance, safe and comfortable roots. The five passenger vehicle is mostly a carryover from the 2008 version, and thus retains all the great elements that have made the Altima a perennial favorite. Available in sedan and coupe versions, the Altima comes in a variety of trims. The sedan trims include the 2.5 Base, the 2.5 S, the 3.5 SE and the 3.5 SL. Coupe trims are available in 2.5 S and 3.5 SE. Both body trims are powered by a 2.5-liter, 175-horsepower V-6 or a 3.5-liter, 270-horsepower V-6. The coupe's body styling is especially sleek in the 2009 model.

Often compared to the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, the Nissan Altima not only cost less, but gets comparable or better gas mileage (23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the freeway). The Altima also features the Xtronic CVT transmission with overdrive, while the others utilize a standard five-speed manual transmission. If you like what the Altima brings to the table, but want better mileage, check out the Altima Hybrid and its phenomenal fuel economy.

Whether the coupe or sedan fits your needs, feel secure that both cars scored five out of five stars on the NHTSA Frontal Crash Test for both the driver and passenger sides. Both styles include an anti-roll bar in the front and rear, anti-lock brakes and air bags.

While the Altima already has a ton of standard features including a 36 month/36,000 mile warranty, power windows and tachometer; you can add high intensity, low beam Xenon head lamps, a cargo net, Bluetooth compatibility (optional in the 2.5 S and the 3.5 SE trims but standard in the 3.5 SL trim) or a dashboard compass for just a bit more. The Altima also comes with an in-dash CD player (except for the 2.5 trim) and two second row LCD screens standard. 

Whether you are in the market for a spacious sedan or a sport coupe, check out the 2009 Nissan Altima. Its styling, power and options will satisfy the tastes of the most discerning customer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

 

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

 

 

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

 

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

 

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

 

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

 

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

 

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?
