#170 of 665 To Frittob: ? re Pittsburgh Dealership by ivysphotomom Dec 08, 2003 (10:55 pm)
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 665 Dealer deliver fee on a SE quote by nextvan1 Dec 10, 2003 (2:11 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 665 shenkar by nextvan1 Dec 11, 2003 (7:54 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 665 nextvan1 by shenkar Dec 11, 2003 (10:47 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).
#176 of 665 Warranty for $1047 by 2004quest Dec 11, 2003 (2:42 pm)
Shenkar, did you get Security Plus Gold Preferred or Security Plus Gold?
#177 of 665 by shenkar Dec 11, 2003 (3:12 pm)
Security+Plus - Gold. $50 Deductible.   Quote from Nissan website: "What's the difference between the Gold Preferred Plan and the Gold Plan? - The Gold Preferred Plan offers all the coverage of the Gold Plan plus 24-hour roadside assistance and trip-interruption reimbursement for meals, lodging and alternative transportation. You also receive an additional day's reimbursement (up to five days, not four) at up to $35 per day for car rental."   Not worth the extra bux, IMO. I just need them to fix my van if it craters. I got quotes from 11 dealers on this. $963 was the lowest, but I gave the extra $84 to the dealer I bought the van from, since he sold me the van below invoice.

Shenkar, what you said about the difference between Gold and Gold Preferred shown on Nissan web site is true. However, I got an official Nissan brochure from my dealer. That brochure lists all the components covered by different plans. On that you can see the Audio (and Video? cannot remember) system is only covered by Preferred plans (gold and silver). Besides those towing, lodging,..., the covered components by Gold and Gold Pref. are not really exactly the same.   Not a vehicle expert, I was concerned that I might miss some important components. So I bought a 7 years/100,000 miles/$50 deductible Gold Preferred - $1,313.   By the way, I really admire you that you could shop 11 dealers for a warranty plan. I should have done that!
#179 of 665 Warranty by 2004quest Dec 12, 2003 (1:56 pm)
vjj110, I read the Nissan Brochure also and you know what, They cover the DVD unit allright but as far as Audio is concerned, they cover only the Bose speakers but not the Bose 6 CD changer which is standard on the SE
