Queen of the Road: Hi there! $19k from a dealership? Not bad at all.
For a 2007 Nissan Altima SL with 15,000 miles, prices range from $20,300 (being in above average condition) to $18,900 (being in average condition) and $17,400 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $19,300 to $22,400.
Hmmm. Did you already negotiate the price down? Or did they readily offer $19k? Make sure to check CarFax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. $19k is on the low side for a dealership’s offering price. If you’ve already checked Carfax and certain you’ll buy the car, bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes. If you need help with any other cars, come back and ask. Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.
