Re: VPP price by beechman

Only way to get the VPP price if you aren't a supplier is to be a relative of someone who is/was a Nissan employee...
 
- Direct, full-time employees of Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) and Nissan affiliate companies.
 
- Retirees of NNA and affiliate companies who have received normal, early or disability retirement, and surviving spouses of such retirees.
 
- Immediate family members of the above people, including spouse, parents, spouse's parents, children (including sons- and daughters-in-law and step children), and siblings (including brothers- and sisters-in-law, half-brothers, half-sisters, step-brothers and step-sisters).
 
If just anyone could get the discount, then it wouldn't be much of a perk for those who deserve it, would it?

Paid About Invoice, But... by xjbuilder

I paid about invoice in Colorado springs for an SL. I was about $5K underwater on a year old Subaru lease (didn't realize two booster seats and an infant seat don't fit in the back of a Sube wagon), and actually paid 5% over sticker. So the dealer made nothing, but wanted to get me into it and another Quest out on the road.
 
Excellent experience, considering I had a major problem with a lease turn-in from a different manufacturer. They took a hit and I took a hit and we both got something out of it. I bought a 100,000 mile comprehensive warranty and plan to drive this car for a long time. One of the better sales experiences I have had on a new car in terms of very little BS.

Got a Quest by leagra

After months of Toyota dealers talking MSRP for a Sienna, we bought a Quest SL. I wanted an LE w/pkg 7 and a DVD. If I could have gotten $1500 off MSRP, I could afford it. It didn't happen, but I was eying the Quest as well. I fell in love with it at the Auto show in March. I emailed several Nissan dealers in early July. It took about 4 days for responses to come in. All were talking MSRP, and one in my immediate area claimed they had 75 people on a waiting list. One dealer responded favorably to my price of $30,000 "out the door," actual OTD, $30646.
 
So, I gave up rear split seat, vehicle stability control, and the coveted conversation mirror. Gained power lift door, adjustable pedals, power seats & mirrors with memory, and more importantly, stayed within budget. I had to wait 4 weeks to get the color I wanted, Autmn Red.
 
Now, I have not had a new car since 1989. So, the pod was not the only thing to get use to. Computer chips and power gadgets are everywhere in new vehicles. Of course, the first thing I did was lock a set of keys in the car. After, 3 days tooling around, the pod is really cool. Its placement allows for a lot of space, I'm 5'8, DH is 6'3.

Got One! by eflime

Got it Saturday, an SE, smoke/beige, with the following options seats, mats, flaps, tow & running boards. Got the tow & running boards, both for $500 (sticker ~$550, invoice ~440 each).
 
Got it $2,910 BELOW window sticker or about ~$200 over invoice.
 
Had a qoute from one dealer, but gave the salesman that we took the test drive with a chance to meet the price. I told them they had 15 minutes to make it happen, and they did.
 
So deals are out there just go prepared.

Quest SE Buying Experience by deannaj

Just purchased on 8/16 a Quest SE with the Seat Package, Single Screen DVD, Running Boards and Splashguards from Modern Nissan in Winston-Salem, NC at $1500 off MSRP. After waiting for months and negotiating on a 2004 Sienna (which is what I thought I wanted BEFORE seeing and driving the Quest) hubby and I finally decided to just go take a look at the new Nissan. Were VERY impressed with the ride/styling since didn't want to drive a typical "mom-mobile" . Must say that the buying experience at the Nissan dealership FAR exceeded any dealings I had with the folks at Toyota. Sales personnel at the dealership were actually very knowledgable for such a new product (and believe me I had done my research as I was set on getting similar features as the Sienna XLE Limited). Price paid for the 2004 Quest SE with all the options was over $2500 LESS than I would have paid for the Toyota. And I'm driving it now - rather than having to wait 2 more months!

Low prices on Quests by kmead

Well the Quest has been out a while and supplies are tight. Doesn't seem to affect the pricing though, as my local Nissan dealer has discounted the only Quest they have which is a top of the line SE with DVD, NAV, Seating and so on.
 
List 37140
 
Sale 34940
 
And thats before going in and haggling.
 
Guess its not a runaway success, which is kind of sad given the overall quality of the vehicle. Maybe if it does well in the Consumer Reports testing it will boost sales, that and the IIHS testing which I suspect will be coming out in sweeps month.
 
The dealer is in Grand Rapids, MI. I have no affiliation or interest in this so feel free....

Discount on Quests by iserum
Sep 01, 2003 (2:41 pm)

I think the discount is mostly on TOP of the line SE only especially in Small cities where dealer thinks it will be diffcult to sell the van at MSRP. Most of the places are giving very minimal discounts. the dsicount on the SE is less than $2500 not much if you compare 37K price Tag I think it is discounted to avoid luxury car tax applicable after 35 K.
