AutoBrag Deal Of The Day: 2008 Nissan Altima
This is our 90th AutoBrag Deal Of The Day. What we’ve done is searched through www.autobrag.com and discovered certain vehicles being sold for considerably less than market prices. Usually, the dealerships are using these “loss leaders” as a way to gain more business.

Why Is This The AutoBrag Deal Of The Day:
The average wholesale price for a used 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Sedan with 23,128 miles (average) is $15,100.00. If you were to buy this new car at sticker price of $21,325.00, after one year, your depreciation would be roughly 29.19% of the vehicle’s value or $6,225.00 over the 12 months or $518.75 per month. That does not even include the money you lose on sales tax and registration!
If you were to buy this specific 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Sedan for $16,998.00, you would be able to drive it for one year and trade it in or sell it at wholesale market for $15,100.00. That means that you would drive a new car for one year and pay $1,898.00 or $158.17 per month (not including taxes and fees). The depreciation for the period of one year would be 11.17%.
If the car was sold via private party the price would be about 5%-10% higher than wholesale. That means that you probably would sell this car for about $15,855.00 (5% over wholesale) to $16,610.00 (10% over wholesale). That means that you would drive a new car for one year and pay $1,143.00 to $388.00 or per month that would be $95.25 to $32.33 (not including taxes and fees).
