How Much Should I Pay: 2008 Nissan Altima (Updated)
Question From Carsen: How much should I pay for a used 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S. It has 14,000 miles and is in good condition (would not say excellent). The dealer is saying they have had the car for almost 90 days and will be selling it at auction soon. I am at $16,400 right now.
Thank you.

It is a Sedan.
MuscleCarGuy: Hi Carsen.
For a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5S Sedan with 14,000 miles, prices range from $17,650 (being in above average condition) to $17,000 (being in average condition) and $16,300 (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 $18,200 to $20,000.
With the wholesale prices for a used 2008 Nissan Altima, you are getting a good deal on that car. The dealer will probably get close to $16,000 if they sell it in a auction, but if they sell it for you they don’t need to worry about transporting the car to auction an all the work involved on the process, plus they will probably make some money on the finance, if you finance the car with them.

How do you apply these prices?
Print out all the blue links and take them to your local Nissan dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.
If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Nissan dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in New York should cost the same in Texas. The taxes vary by state.
