What's OTD?
Out-the-door is the total check you actually write — asking price + sales tax + doc fee + registration. Reddit “what I paid” reports are usually OTD, so this is the honest number to compare against.
Listing: $7,150 + $518 tax + $500 doc + $150 reg = $8,318

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Altima vehicles, previously remedied under recall number 17V-040. The door latch-lock cable may not have been routed properly in the rear door when the remedy was applied.
