| Price of the Chrysler 300: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Heavy discount from near-$40K sticker price as one might expect from a year-old "new" car still in dealer inventory. This fact, coupled with numerous factory incentives and low APR financing cinched the deal. In short, I bought $40K car for $30K. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
With all the discounts available, the price was great. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Low overall |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Truly one of the best cars for the price. I purchased it when Mercedes owned Chrysler, so I got Mercedes-quality parts within a gorgeous American-designed body. |
| Price of the Chrysler 300: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
A lease was higher than it should have been. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Car payments could have bought me a bimmer (BMW) |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Nissan Altima
| Price of the Nissan Altima: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
I was able to get an Altima with options for what I perceived was a very good price. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
I saw all the rave reviews and features it had, and I thought the car would be around $40,000 CAD at least. However, it turned out to be $30,000 which was in my budget. I took it for a spin and was instantly sold. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
27K + list, $3,000 down, 24 months at $299 with 15K miles per year. This was a sweet deal. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
Nissan Canada has 0.9% financing right now on all 2008 models. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Lower than what I was paying on old car! |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The payments were very reasonable, and the dealer offered a good discount. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Dealership Willing to negotiate. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Considerably less. Dealership willing to negotiate vehicle price |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
You can save a few thousnad dollars over the Camry and I feel the Altima is a better looking car. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Lower price than Camry for more features |
| Price of the Nissan Altima: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
I lease it for $311/month with added tire/windshield/paintless dent repair. That's with no down payment. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
not a good value for the money |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The Altima would have cost us $4000-$5000 more with similar equipment level. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
When I negotiated for the altima the cheapest the dealership would come down to was just over 25,000. It was the 2.5 sl package (leather, bose stereo, etc. For another 1,400 I bought the accord v6 with the premium stereo, leather, moonroof, etc. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
The price is a bit on the high side when comparing to domestic automobiles, yet a lot can be said about costumer service and a high quality product. I for one will be a repeat costumer of nissans |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
High $20k for an SE |
