My buddy paid 21k for a 6s 5-door (no leather, etc.) OTD. You can buy a similarly equipped Altima SE for the same price with the current rebates/financing available.



I'd like to see how one does that. The TMV for an '04 Altima equipped similarly to the 6s 5-Door is $24,276. There is a $1500 rebate for a total of $22,776. And TTL and you're up to $24,000 -- a difference of $3,000.

I'll grant that a good negotiator can get lower than TMV, but nowhere near $3,000 lower. Hell, the invoice on a similarly equipped Altima is more than the sticker on the Mazda6.
