wow! the Altima Hybrid now has $5000 of incentives in CA and OR

When posting a response to http://priuschat.com/forums/newbie-forum/80763-tax-incentives-buying-new-prius.html, I noticed that thanks to West Nissan Dealers Altima Hybrid Offers - 0.0% APR - $279 Lease - Nissan USA, there are $5K of incentives on the NAH. I put in 95120 (where I used to live), 92101 (a random San Diego zip code), and 90024 (UCLA's zip), 97229 (a Portland zip) and it's available in all those areas.

If Nissan isn't renewing them (I have no idea if they will or if they've been doing this for awhile now), then one better act fast. $1K of it ends 5/31 and the other $4K ends 6/1.

Then there's the $2350 Federal tax credit (New Energy Tax Credit for Hybrids). I think both these together make the car quite a bargain.

If you're in the the market for a hybrid, the NAH is available in your area and you don't need Prius-class mileage, it wouldn't hurt to try your own zip in the above page. The 198 hp is nice too.

 

Which one? The HAH or the NAH? It's extremely rare to see HAHs since they sold in such tiny numbers before they were discontinued.

 

I see a # of Insight IIs around here in WA state, but Priuses still outnumber them, not surprisingly.

Wow. I see no NAHs up here in WA since they don't sell them up here. Well, one dealer sorta does. When I was in CA, NAH sightings were fairly common.

 

One of my CA friends is getting an NAH real soon. He initially passed on this but his old Acura Legend is having problems now and he doesn't want to spend the $ to fix it. The CA incentives are only $4K right now.

(I didn't ask the specifics but...) He was considering a Hyundai Sonata and a Chevy Malibu but interestingly, both were more expensive than the NAH, after incentives and before the Federal tax credit. For the Malibu, I joked, no wonder GM went bankrupt!

 

The $5K of incentives on the NAH are back again. It looks like $500 of it ends today, 9/6 but other $4500 ends on 9/30.

 

Ok, since my post (prior to today), I'd seen at least one or more NAHs over the last few months, in WA. They might've all been the same car (darker grey).

Today, I saw what I thought was the same one since it was the same (?) color but it was a brand new NAH still w/dealer placeholder for the license plate and temp permit in the back window. Yay!

It was sold by Auburn Nissan (of Auburn. WA). That'd make them another (?) dealer. The other dealer that sorta sells them is Campbell Nelson Nissan of Edmonds, WA.

 

$5K in incentives on the NAH are back again. I see them at Nissan Regional Offers - Nissan USA Official Site when I put in 95120.

Huh? It does apply to 2010 NAH's. See 2010 Model Year Hybrid Vehicles (as of 01-04-10) and http://www.irs.gov/businesses/corporations/article/0,,id=186772,00.html. I just noticed that the 2nd URL also lists the sales to date.
