What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Nissan Pathfinder
| Price of the Nissan Pathfinder: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 5.6L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range |
Nissan had a great lease offer for V8 SE models and the payments were less than what the competition was offering. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
The Pathy runs about 10% cheaper than the Toyota ForeRunner, which is an excellent vehicle, but comes at a premium price. I think the PF runs 99% of the Toyota longevity, and about 95% of the fit and finish. This makes it a better buy in my eye |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
We where able to deal a $34,000 pathfinder down to $26,500. with 4.0% interest. GREAT DEAL! |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Was less than a 4Runner. |
| 2001 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Theres not another SUV in its price range that has the power, features, and quality that the Pathfinder offers. In my opinion is superior to the Toyota 4Runner in every possible way while being a little cheaper. |

| 2003 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
As it is an import SUV, you will pay more than comparable domestic SUVs. However, the reliability of the Pathfinder should more than make up for it. |

| 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 |

| 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 |
