Is Nissan retarded? Where is the Maxima's price?
The car comes out in 3 days, and we haven't heard a peep about the car's official pricing. The new Infiniti FX doesn't arrive for another month, and we already know every price point that'll have. What the hell is going on?

That's an estimate. I hear it's going to be close to the 6th Gen (which is MotorTrends estimate) but I'd rather know the exact figures (ex: see a 2009 Nissan Maxima section on nissanusa.com)

We should know by the end of the week what the real price will be.
There should be a new thread started where people can post their thoughts on test driving, viewing, buying the 09 Maxima. i'm sure within the next week and month there will be many opinions and I'm curious what everyone will be thinking.

I finally received the real brochure today. If anyone has a question I'd be happy to respond. No prices in the brochure of course.

If I remember correctly, Nissan released the prices (and posted them online) for each of the last two new generations the week the vehicle actually went on sale. I expect that to happen again this time.

jsmithsole - rkurlander ABSOLUTELY has the REAL brochure. He has already PMd me specifications from it. It bears NO RESEMBLANCE to the early promo brochure we have had for months, and contains ALL the specs we have been asking about.
And the REAL brochure has NEVER contained prices for any Maxima from the time it replaced the Datsun 810 in 1981, and the Datsun 810 brochure did not contain prices either.
I don't think I have seen an official brochure with the prices listed for any car I have ever shopped for. That is because manufacturers know there will almost always be price adjustments as the model year evolves.

It starts at $29,950.
Thats all I have seen so far. On Freshalloy there was a post with the pricing and a link to edmunds, but the link did not work like edmunds pulled the article.

I very much doubt the base price will be $30k. That would be a huge mistake in this economy. My guess is $28k with a top at $34.5k.

Obviously, I would never assume that pricing would be, I meant pricing released in general. Either way it looks like pricing was just released...
Thanks Light!

no you really don't get it I see.
Seeing that Infiniti is obviously Nissan (everyone here knows this) why would "they" (Nissan/Infiniti) release the FX pricing months ahead of time but not the Maxima.

can anyone figure this one out?
my dealer had another one of those "we need your nissan to sell used!!!" sales. but this time they were offering "100% of the base model MSRP" if you bought a new vehicle. of course this ended yesterday just before the 09 should arrive.
i just don't see how they could seriously offer more than the value of the car.

Well I went to check out the one at my local dealer, apparently, base price is $28k, they said Fully Loaded SV Premium will be running $40k+ due to a "Universal $5k Mark up," Does that piss anyone else off if it is in fact true?! The one my dealer got was a silver SV with Sport Package, and the window tag said $38k, **** that if you ask me, Ill wait for price to go down, or just wait for the 370z instead. They cant really expect to sell overpriced cars with this lack of an economy...

Shatterpruf - The base price is $29,290. The price of a nice (leather, etc) SV is around $32.9K? An SV with the great Sport package is between $34 and $35K. Yes, if the car is also loaded with tech packges and or navi, etc, the price can get to the $40K area, but that is not unreasonable for all the goodies on the ones around that price.
Many dealers add on their own sticker with appearance packages, etc, costing between one and two thousand, but that is just a setup to make it appear the salesperson is dropping the price more than he really is.
Of course those are MSRP prices, and we don't look too closely at MSRP, because we are diligent buyers, and diligent buyers negotiate from invoice, don't we?
Prices quoted by a dealer the first week a newly redesigned car arrives are meaningless. You would be wise to wait a few months, as this sinking economy guarantees bargains will be available sooner than later.
P.S. - No, the 'universal markup' is not universal. It extends only to the carlot property line of a select few greedy dealers.
