AutoBrag Deal Of The Day: 2009 Nissan Rogue

December 2nd, 2008

This is our 184th 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.

We found a 2009 Nissan Rogue S 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl CVT) from Passport Nissan of Alexandria

The lowest Internet Price: $17,446.00
MSRP: $21,305.00
ePrice: $17,446.00
Savings: $3,859.00
% OFF MSRP: 18.11 %

Why Is This The AutoBrag Deal Of The Day:

The average wholesale price for a used 2008 Nissan Rogue S with 9,715 miles (average) is $14,000.00. If you were to buy this new car at sticker price of $21,305.00, after one year, your depreciation would be roughly 34.29% of the vehicle’s value or $7,305.00 over the 12 months or $608.75 per month. That does not even include the money you lose on sales tax and registration!

If you were to buy this specific 2009 Nissan Rogue S for $17,446.00, you would be able to drive it for one year and trade it in or sell it at wholesale market for $14,000.00. That means that you would drive a new car for one year and pay $3,446.00 or $287.17 per month (not including taxes and fees). The depreciation for the period of one year would be 19.75%.

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 $14,700.00 (5% over wholesale) to $15,400.00 (10% over 1wholesale). That means that you would drive a new car for one year and pay $2,746.00 to $2,046.00 or per month that would be $228.83 to $170.50 (not including taxes and fees).

Using AutoBrag’s Deal Of The Day, the Dealer eats 52.83% of year one’s depreciation based on wholesale market for the same vehicle.

Queen of the Road: Welcome to AutoBragBlog! There are so many possibilities to buy a new car under $24,000. I dont know where to start because there are an abundance of great deals. I’ll list a few so you can get an idea what our car price search engine offers.

Let’s get started with the Hyundais…

For a 2008 Hyundai Azera GLS 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $21,899.00
MSRP: $25,395.00
ePrice: $21,899.00
Savings: $3,496.00
% OFF MSRP: 13.77%

For a 2009 Hyundai Azera GLS 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $21,260.00
MSRP: $25,395.00
ePrice: $21,260.00
Savings: $4,135.00
% OFF MSRP: 16.28%

For a 2008 Toyota Camry CE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $16,136.00
MSRP: $19,429.00
ePrice: $16,136.00
Savings: $3,293.00
% OFF MSRP: 16.95%

For a 2009 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $23,230.00
MSRP: $28,234.00
ePrice: $23,230.00
Savings: $5,004.00
% OFF MSRP: 17.72%

For a 2008 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $22,404.00
MSRP: $25,062.00
ePrice: $22,404.00
Savings: $2,658.00
% OFF MSRP: 10.61%

For a 2009 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $19,553.00
MSRP: $21,555.00
ePrice: $19,553.00
Savings: $2,002.00
% OFF MSRP: 9.29%

What you can do when you see a particular model is to compare MSRP with the MSRP deals in www.AutoBrag.com. Or you can simply run it by us and well look to find a deal in comparison to that model. You can also calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal.

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP - Invoice Price = X / MSRP = Y (move the decimal point over two and that’s the percentage you’re saving. Compare the savings to AutoBrag’s 2009 Camry discount percentages…

If you’d like to use one of the deals above…

How do I use these deals at my local dealerships? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen or any Sales Rep., 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 dealership’s website and checking their inventory. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal.

The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off at a time like this. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Here’s a good car buying article I recommmend everyone read before completing the car buying process. Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

Follow Up Comment: WOW Thank you for your help!

I can’t believe you’re helping the likes of me when there are so many of us asking for help. I can’t imagine how you can afford the time and effort, but i’m sure i speak for most of us - we are grateful.

Thank you,

Sincerely

Yuniverse
