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
#238 of 692 Just Bought my Quest SE by toblerone Jan 17, 2004 (10:08 pm)
Just picked up my Grean Tea SE with NAV and Double DVD tonight. Had to drive it home in the slushy, icy snow. Did OK until I got home. I live on a steep driveway. Had to plow a little before I could get up.   The dealer I was working with said that they would beat any deal. But, when it came down to it they changed their toon. Then they started to lay on the guilt about how we test drove their vehicle and kept them late a couple nights. Then they started to lie about things. Said Carmax charged $400 to sell them your car. I called them, they don't charge a dime. Anyway, we bolted out of there as fast as we could.   We had a fantastic experience from the dealer we purchased from. They didn't play any games and evey other dealer I called said that there was no way they were going to honor what they quoted. Well, they did.   I got the loaded SE (which, by the way, they had to get from another dealer. There was only 1 in my area that was the correct color / option combination.)for $573 below invoice. I paid $33,800 plus 5% tax and $107 to transfer my tags. PERIOD! Nothing else! I financed for 5 years at 1.9%. They also gave me $100 more than the highest quote I got on my trade. They are no-nonsense. I would recommend them to anyone.   In fact, we are going back Monday night to buy a SL Altima, also below invoice! Can't pass it up at .9% interest and below invoice!
#239 of 692 chicagoloand price - $31,400 base price for SE by esteem Jan 18, 2004 (2:53 pm)
yesterday morning test drove SE at this Nissan dealer near my house. the salesman started from 34 something plus all the fees, taxes etc and store manager came down to like 31,400 saying that its 100 above invoice. I still feel that Honda and Toyota are a better choice, but I could be wrong. Liked the SE we drove but .....   anyway, I was offered 1.9 APR for 60 months as well. so the prices are coming down and I could have gotten this van for under 30 for sure, if I wanted. I was not sure abt the edmunds price, so did not make any offers also. but I like Odyssey better, so anyway, was not too interested in negotiating.....   Also, the saleman, could not show us how to fold the middle row seats and open it up and also some of the functions on the dashboard.

esteem, the sense I get from your post is that it does not matter what kind of offer or incentive you get on an '04 Quest...and no matter what kind of objective data you are presented with demonstrating the superiority of the Quest (if any), you are not predisposed to buy a Quest. Furthermore, I strongly suspect that if you were to purchase a Quest, in the frame of mind you display, you would be an unhappy, and ultimately disgruntled owner.   Clearly, you should buy a different brand of van. That's OK. Different strokes for different folks. They are all excellent choices, and the Quests will all find loving homes, I'm sure. So just buy the one you love, so there will be no regrets, and inordinant faultfinding later.
#241 of 692 toblerone dealer.... by julizio Jan 18, 2004 (5:24 pm)
toblerone, if you went to carmax, I'm close to your area. if you don't mind sharing the dealer you purchased from we'd might give them a try.   I tried carmax, the price on the new van is great, but the trade-in on my existing car wasn't even valued at fair according to kbb.   thanks.   homer
#242 of 692 Homer.............. by toblerone Jan 19, 2004 (10:17 am)
I called EVERY dealer in MD. We bought from VOB in Rockville. He quoted me a price. I asked a few questions. He said he could go $400-500 below invoice. I only got 1 dealer to match that price.....Bel Air Nissan. But, they were getting the van from the same place Rockville was (Silver Spring) and they had $100 processing fee that VOB did not. So, I saw no point in driving to Bel Air which was further for me anyway! I got 2 dealers to offer invoice (Nissan West in Ellicott City and Rosenthal in Rockville). Our buying experience was GREAT! We are going back tonight to trade our '98 Civic in on an Altima!   We started dealing with Frederick Nissan, formerly Jenkins, but they refused to match price even thought we told them we WANTED to buy from them. Once we told them we were buying from Rockville if they couldn't match the price, they started with a guilt trip. That put the last nail in their coffin. I would not recommend them!
#243 of 692 At Bay area, for SL and SE trim, there has by shued Jan 19, 2004 (2:11 pm)

#244 of 692 SE - TMV vs. invoice+$ by guff Jan 19, 2004 (2:12 pm)
I see several deals mentioned here for loaded SE's for reasonable amounts over invoice - seems like $500 is around average.   Why then does Edmunds TMV show actual prices at about 99% of MSRP, or $3000+ over invoice.   What am I missing? Is the TMV calculation not accurate, or are there so few people making good deals that the TMV data washes out the small number of good deals?   Anyone from the Houston area with a positive dealer experience?   Guff
