We just bought....

Original post by Stacey1403

...a new car

We got a Nissan Altima in mystic emerald(which is a fancy way of saying light green) We were torn between the Altima and also the Saturn Vue and Kia Sorrento. We decided to go with the Altima because
A) it's a nissan
B) much better gas mileage
C) we got a great deal
We can't pick it up till Monday because the car we want is at a different dealership so it will be there on Monday!!! This is just in time for us to get Damien a bigger carseat!!! So excited I had to share !!!!

Very nice! We have a 2003 Maxima and LOVE it! And I also have a 1994 Nissan Sentra and it runs great. Nissans are great cars.

Good Luck and Congrats

Re: We just bought....

They actually called this morning to tell me the mystic emerald was damaged

So we decided on polished pewter(fancy way of saying light brownish/tanish)

My Hubby is happy he thought the green was too girly

We are picking up the car @ 2:30 Woo Hoo

Re: We just bought....

Awesome...Stacey A little advice for you. I used to work for a few car dealers in the Prep Department. I know all the tricks that the sales people try to pull if there is damage on the car whn the customer comes to pick up the car.

Make sure you look at the car inside the service department, or inside the prep garage. The Flourescant lighting in the shop will help you see if there is any paint touch ups, scratches or dings on the paint that the salesman are trying to hide. Believe me the salesman is not your friend. If he can get away with hiding something, he will. It is much easier than showing you the damage and then having to do the paperwork to help you get the damamge fixed. After you look inside, Look outside in the sunlight...

Next if you notice the salesman is only standing in one spot while outside showing you the car, make sure you go over to that spot and see if he is trying to hide something. Also if he has a towel on the car and he hasnt moved it, pick it up to make sure there is no damage underneath it.

Make sure you have a full tank of gas before leaving the dealership. You are entitled to it on a new car.

Make sure they gave you the floor mats.

If you have any questions let me know, If not enjoy your new car....

P.S. I agree with your husband about the color.

Thanks Scott

I will have Steve read this before we leave to pick it up


I had to laugh about the dealer not being your friend, because the 2 guys we spoke to there were so shady

The one guy was like 'let me sharpen my pencil' like 50 times, because we wanted to go to a different dealersip to check out another car and he just wanted the sale. At least it got him down to a good price

Congrats enjoy it. Now have Steve put a coat of wax on it as soon as the weather gets warm. New cars today arent like they used to be. That car probably sat in Jersey for a few months before sitting at the dealer for a bit. The paint is cured and now it needs to be protected with a good coat of carnuba wax.
