Hi Fellow Pittsburgher,   We have considering a minivan for several months and the two that we like were the Quest for its drive and the Dodge GC for its interior comfort. If the Quest had more comfortable seats and better fabrics it would be a hands down winner.   I know they don't want to mention names of dealers, but can you advise the town in which you purchased your new Quest. We took test drives from three dealers (Dormont, Route 51 and Airport) but didn't do any dealing. I would be interested to know where you bought yours. I wish you continued success with your Quest.
#167 of 641 better fabric by marvinkm Dec 04, 2003 (10:54 pm)
I agree about the fabrics. I actually like the Rouge--although the quality is nowhere near that of the leather on the Murano. The orange dashboard looks incredibly cheap, though--nothing like the pictures.   The cloth seats are terrible. Ugly and not particularly comfortable. Nissan has lots of nice cloth interiors (again, Murano is a great example).. but the cloth in the van is awful.

Posting dealer names is fine here, just not individual salespeople. Please see the blurb at the top.   Steve, Host

RUN, don't walk, AWAY from the Dormont guys (ohh, the story i could tell you)   Only went out to the Airport dealership a few times. Decent selection but the salesmen seemed kinda inexperienced.   RT51 is where we purchased.   There's also a dealership down Rt19 (by WashingtonPA) that i could recommend.   --- (At the risk of going off-topic) ---   We also looked at the GC until we found out it didn't have the fold down 3rd row seats. Maybe next year's model.   I really like the comfort of the seats on the Quest. The drivers seat has lumbar support, which is wonderful. The middle seats feel like airplane seats. And the back seat is raised, so you loose a little headroom/feetroom, but the occupants can see more and don't get that stuffed in the back feeling. Great for the kids.   When you say better fabric ... are you referring to the leather or the cloth fabrics?

Hello,   Just found this site...thank goodness! My husband took the day off today, at my pursuading, and we only made it to THREE dealerships...a toyota up north, a honda down south, and nissan in, of all places, Dormont, for our only test drive, and trade-in offer, from a nissan dealer...   Well, we really liked the look and design features of the Quest. All we needed was a reasonable trade in on '99 Windstar...but got same games as other dealers with numbers - esp. toyota - with their supply not equal to demand condescension! (I ran leasing rates on various cars on all three car company websites to get THEIR current lease rates, so I could tell they were playing games with the math). We were so disappointed that they too, were playing the same games!   I know of 4 Nissan dealers in Pgh. area, but am not sure who is on Rt 51. Would you mind posting the name of the dealership here??? And do you have any experience with the dealership on McKnight Rd?   All we're looking for is the safest car for our 3 (soon to be 4) children - and a FAIR trade-in on the Ford (in which we're ridiculously upside down on because of it being a Ford. Otherwise, it's a nice car, but not under warranty, and doesn't have the latest safety features.)   Thanks so much,   Mary

Rt51 = Bowser Nissan http://www.bowsernissan.com/en_US/   They did give me the best trade in offer (almost double what the dormont dealership offered)   Sorry, no real experience with the McKnight road dealership. A friend of mine had a bad experience there, so we stayed away. But that was years ago, so I'm sure things have probably changed.   Try and test drive an SE if possible. The skyview sunroofs give it that more open feeling (especially with 3 or 4 kids in the back).
#172 of 641 Dealer deliver fee on a SE quote by nextvan1 Dec 10, 2003 (3:11 pm)
Just got a SE quote from a dealer that charges Dealer Delivery Fee $820.00 (2.5% of new vehicle). From this borad, I haven't read someone else is paying this fee, except doc fee and desination charge. Comments? Thanks

I'm laughing so hard I can barely contain myself. Call this bozo up and tell him that if he wants to sell you a van, it ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT have this garbage fee added to it. If he even so much as peeps...go to the next dealer on your list. This is too ridiculous for words!!
#174 of 641 shenkar by nextvan1 Dec 11, 2003 (8:54 am)
Thank you so much. You just saved me $820. So I just booked a SE in Autumn Red, fully loaded at $33344, $86 registration fee,$540 Destination fee, no doc fee, $1250 for 6 years extended warranty, 5% sales tax, 3.75% load on 5 years.   So final price with tax is $35637, with NAV, Dual DVDs, Seat package, Floor mats. Sounds good? I do use VPP program on it.
#175 of 641 nextvan1 by shenkar Dec 11, 2003 (11:47 am)
Sounds good, except the extended warranty. I got the 7 year 100,000 plan and only paid $1,047. Actually had it offered to me for as little as $963 so you can trim some more fat out of that $1,250.   Keep in mind...you can buy the warranty from any dealer, not just the dealer you get the van from...so shop around if they won't come down (they will).
