"Any idea why it took so long for them to deliver your vehicle (almost 3 months). Seems like they made you wait a lonnnng for a very standard SE (aside from the dealer installed accessories)."   The reason I had to order the SE is because to get the UBS pricing I had to special order it from the factory and NOT from the dealer's stock. I could have got the UBS pricing on an in-stock S or SL but I wanted the SE and was willing to wait the 3 months.   "Curious about the pinstriping ... Could you give us more details?"   In this case, pinstriping consisted of dual contrasting color (in my case, gold stripes on autumn red body) running the entire length of the Quest on each side. Not needed of course, but looks pretty cool!
#229 of 692 anyone getting a quest SL under invoice? by rickpct Jan 09, 2004 (12:21 pm)
In looking at the board recently I noticed lots of people are getting the Quest at about 300-600 above invoice. I am planning to get a new minivan in early March. I qualify for VPP - which is 3% UNDER invoice. Was thinking about trying to negotiate better than that, instead of walking in and saying I qualify for VPP - maybe too greedy???   thanks.

I bought and picked up my SL on Dec 31, 2003. It was exactly $911 below invoice. Of course, that was the last day of the year so the dealer insisted the van must be delivered the same day to qualify for that price. I didn't even use the VPP discount or apply for finance.

I also bought an SL at the end of last year at $200 below invoice. It's Santa Cruz Nissan. Most other dealers around and North of San Jose area asked for $300-400 above invoice.

Hey Dave, I am working a deal right now for $573 below invoice. 5% tax and $90 tag transfer are the only additional fees. But, I was wondering about your trade. I am trading a 2001 Full Size Mitsu. Monteron Ltd. It has 63,000 miles on it. It has hitch, running boards, sunroof visor, window visors, hood visor. It also has the rear air. I am being offered a pretty consistant $12,500 from dealers and Carmax. Could you let me know what you got for yours and how many miles you had. Thanks
#233 of 692 Quest SL - Leased! by bad1550 Jan 16, 2004 (6:51 am)
My buying experience involved 2 local dealers. My first dealer offered a $29,500 MSRP SL for $20,000 (A One Pay 48 month Lease) which included taxes, etc. and a $1,500 trade in for my 98 Voyager. Total outlay would have been $18,500.   So I went to another dealer and for the same 48 month one pay lease he offered $17,000 less $2,500 for my trade in so I jumped on it.   My total cash outlay was $14,500 for a 48 month lease with a Purchase option of $14,400 at lease end.   I hope I made a good decision.   Bob
#234 of 692 Toblerone -- Mitsu Montero LTD trade by happydave_ct Jan 16, 2004 (2:28 pm)
My 2001 Mitsu Montero LTD (silver with black leather) had 41k miles and didn't have your add-ons, though I did have rear air and sunroof. I had an aftermarket 12 CD installed (factory in-dash CD changer kept locking up on burned CD-Rs). It was in between "Good" to "Excellent" shape as defined by Kelley Blue Book. I traded it in early November, and got $16,200. I had been quoted anywhere from $13,000 to $15,500 from other dealers (and being told I would have to pay sticker for the SE).   A few things I learned when looking to trade-in that car: a) dealers are reluctant to take the Montero because Mitsubishi has been greatly discounting new ones (and offering crazy financing), making used ones less desirable, b) depends on where you live regarding marketability. I live in an area of CT where most people are less likely to buy a used Montero -- they'd be more apt to buy a used Lexus or Land Rover for an SUV. I ultimately went outside my immediate area where I think my car was a bit more desirable.   If you check out Kelley Blue Book (www.kbb.com -- however, most dealers use a resource called Galves because it is lower), you will find your car is probably worth between 12,500 and 13,300 as a trade depending on it's condition. Good news for you -- winter time = higher demand for 4WD.   Hope this helps! Good luck.

Dealers use whatever book is lower at the moment   Unless they need a high value to show to the bank to float a big loan for a buyer, in which case they grab the book in the other drawer.   What is the "Kelley Blue Book" Price?   Steve, Host
#236 of 692 Right on Steve by toblerone Jan 16, 2004 (9:40 pm)
Yeah, whatever is best for the dealer. We all know that! So, you think $12,500 and $573 below invoice on an SE w/ 2 DVD screens and Nav is pretty good?
#237 of 692 Toblerone by steve_ HOST Jan 16, 2004 (10:10 pm)
We all know that!   Yeah, I forget I'm preaching to the choir sometimes. If y'all weren't educated consumers, you wouldn't be here.   Live by the book, die by the book.   I think whatever the TMV says is golden. And hopefully you beat that   Steve, Host
