If you are looking for a 2004 Quest, supply should not be a problem (unless you are looking for certain colors in a fully loaded SE). NOTE NOTE NOTE - the prices quoted at the manu site are all listed at MSRP - you should not be thinking of paying anywhere near that!! Do the research first, use Edmunds to determine the TMV selling prices in your area, then go visit your local dealers and find out who is competitive. Decide what you want and what you are willing to pay before you negotiate with anyone. Only after you determine what is considered a good deal in your area, can you tell whether a better deal is available elsewhere. DON'T go driving 3 hours just on a whim (or a promise in a radio ad) until you are armed with good data. Otherwise, you are at 2 disadvantages: (1) after investing time and effort to get there, you may be too willing to talk yourself into believing something to convince yourself it was all worthwhile. (2) You may get a lot of pressure to make a deal that's "only good for today" because they know that once you leave, you probably won't be back. There's plenty more good advice online - get educated before you buy - and don't rule out anything. Last summer, there were a number of reports on the Honda Odyssey board from people who flew from Phoenix to Houston to pick up their Ody - and reported saving $$1000's even after paying one-way airfare!
#207 of 692 1.9% Financing by gg2k2se Dec 17, 2003 (2:58 pm)
I was going to pick up my located van tomorrow and the dealer called and told me that Nissan just offered 1.9%.   As for negotiating, I always (for 5 vehicles since 1990) start with invoice and work up from there. I figure what I think is a reasonable profit for the dealers effort relative to what the market is offering. With this Quest purchase, I used Carmax as a baseline (they are offering invoice price) and settled on $500 over invoice. I read quest123k got $200 over invoice so you can see where the market is. Tell the sales guy you've read up on invoice and market price so they don't give you the old-fashioned sales pitch.   One vehicle I bought 300 miles away because he was willing to deal and my local dealer was clueless. But my 3 recent vehicles (2 Maximas and this Quest) I bought from my local Binghamton guy because he understood my position and didn't haggle.
#208 of 692 I Just Missed 1.9% by gatornich Dec 19, 2003 (1:23 pm)
I bought my new Quest SE on December 9th and managed to get a 4.09% finance rate, but today I see the ad in the paper for the 1.9% deal. I called the dealership, but they said the 1.9% did not take effect until December 12th. They also said my other finance contract has finalized and it would take about $500 to break it. I offered to use some of my savings to finance a Extended Warranty through them (to encourage them to help me), but no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Do you think the dealer should help me out, or am I just stuck with the higher rate? So much for the early bird getting the worm. I could have saved $20-$25 a month.
#209 of 692 Purchase price on Loaded SL by acfisher4 Dec 19, 2003 (8:15 pm)
I just closed the deal on an SL w/leather, DVD, premium pkg, seat pkg, mats and splash guards for invoice ($28,850). Still need to decide whether to lease (4.4% money factor) or finance (1.9% either 4 or 5 yr). Either way I think that the dealer's are looking to move for the end of the year!
#210 of 692 Price on SL by johncacc Dec 21, 2003 (7:51 pm)
Just got a new SL in Smoke color with Seat Package, SL Upgrade Package, Cargo Cover, Micro Filter, Mats, and Splash Guards. Invoice, not including splash guards since I could not find price for them, is 26,152. I paid invoice (26,160) plus tax, tags, title. The 26,160 price was inclusive of all fees. It helped to take an approach of talking about out the door prices, since the fees varied greatly by dealer.   To get to this price, I contacted dealers within 100 miles. I used various methods including on-line services, email direct to dealers, and direct phone calls. Through follow-up phone calls, I quickly narrowed the list down to those dealers who were serious about selling a van.   I ended up with a little more than an hour drive to Greenville, SC but saved close to $500 by doing so. The dealer is Crown Nissan for those who are in that area. They have only been open a month but their processes were fairly smooth and I suspect will get even better.   I also ended up with the 1.9% financing deal for 5 years. Can't beat that rate.
#211 of 692 Need help w/ $Deals in Hampton Roads, VA area by ravi4questse Dec 23, 2003 (9:35 am)
We are struggling to buy between a Quest SL w/ all packages or a SE w/ DVD-1. Ofcourse, if we get a good prices, we would go w/ a SE, but we seem to have a lot of trouble w/ the local dealers about market adjustment, MSRP, Dealer Stickers, etc. Not one whom I've talked is talking anywhere close to Invoice. I hear in this board folks always saying Invoice+500 max is what you would want to go with but I'm not even coming close. Can anyone PLEASE help me with your experiences with regards to pricing in the South Eeast Virginia area? Thanks in advance!
#212 of 692 Response to Ravi4questse by acfisher4 Dec 24, 2003 (2:16 pm)
As I stated in a previous post the other day I did get a loaded (all but running boards and NAV) for invoice+dealer fees of $289 (shopped 3 different dealers and fees were w/in $50.   Anyway back to you....while I was shopping on the net I came about a website (CARMAX.com) that's in the DC/Baltimore area that's selling vehicles under invoice!!! I live in CT and I was actually thinking of flying down there one way to pick it up... fees were only about $125 too! If they don't have it in stock they said they can order and get it w/in a week!   Good Luck!
#213 of 692 Nissan Quest S by ronoboy Dec 29, 2003 (1:45 pm)
Purchased a 2004 Nissan Quest S with S upgrade package, seat package, microfilter and mud guards for $24,637, or approx 2% over invoice price of $24,140 (MSRP is $26,170) - this was in Champaign, IL...
#214 of 692 Purchased Quest SL - Autumn Red by jehall1 Dec 30, 2003 (6:40 am)
Yesterday we purchased the SL with DVD, Seat Pkg, Floor mats, Cargo Cover, microfilter and mud flaps. MSRP-$2,500.00. (About 116.00 over invoice I believe - not sure on invoice for mud flaps) Got the 1.9% financing as well. Will pick up on 01/01/04 (signed documents for this date for our tax purposes) Excellent buying experience in Louisville, KY. No pressure sale, salesman followed through with what we were told on phone. We were offered almost nothing for our trade, and basically we were told we were driving a piece of junk (97 Merc. villager), so we kept it, we may sell it on our own or use it as an extra vehicle.
#215 of 692 2004 Quest SL by polarice Dec 30, 2003 (12:28 pm)
Purchased a 2004 Quest SL in Smoke on Saturday. Got the single DVD, upgrade pkg, seat pkg, micro filter, cargo cover yada, yada.   I'm in the North Bay of California and paid 27250 which is right at or below invoice (w/DVD). Used the carsdirect.com price as a baseline and the dealer didn't even flinch. He actually went down from that price. So... I'm pretty happy.
