#269 of 573 Purchase/Lease Price Quest SL by kmastej Feb 26, 2004 (11:10 am)
I leased an SL 2004 Quest for $398 p/m w/$2000 down, 15000 mi/39 months. I think I got a pretty good deal but I should have tried for a lower price. This was my first time dealing with the salespeople I told them I had the dealer info cost from the internet sites and I would make the deal if the price was right. The salesperson pulled out their dealer sheet and said "would you go $500 over invoice". I said yes, knowing my husband would have paid whatever price they started out with had I not mentioned dealer invoices. The sticker MSRP was $31,740 I paid $27,400 ($2300 diff). This included, DVD,Leather, Cargo Cover, Leather Pkg and Upgrade Pkg, Fold Away Seats, Mud Flaps, Micro-filter, Floor Mats. The only thing that upset me was the Acquisition Fee that I was not told about in advance by the dealer. When I arrived to sign docs everything was fine except they added a $550 Acquisition Fee to the Cap Cost. I knew I would more than likely be charged an Acquisition Fee, but I was never told about it nor was it written on any pricing paperwork at the time of negotiation. Other people who have posted their pricing seem to be a bit less than what I paid, I live in Michigan. Next time I will bargin harder. Also, I went from driving a 2001 Grand Caravan to the Quest and the insurance almost doubled I ended up finding a good deal with AIG Insurance. The insurance companies have a rating symbol and the Quest is rated 16, the Caravan is rated 8.

Purchased almost the exact same van (is yours silver also?) for almost the exact same price ($200 over invoice + a great tradein) back around thanksgiving in SW PA ... i thought it was a good deal!   as long as they are not trying to throw in any extra fees, short of tax/tags, ... Go For It!
#271 of 573 Thanks! frittob by davenow Feb 27, 2004 (6:15 am)
I have not stepped into the dealership with that agreed-upon price because they don't have the van!! Why would they agree on the price without having the van? I told them "call me when you get it." so I don't know what they have up their sleeves regarding other hidden costs/fees! I'm scared now to go in!   Do you like the van? Do you have problems with the door rattling and fuel to empty and radio problems that i've been hearing about? Any info would help me make my descision! Thank you!
#272 of 573 gogetit Davenow by frittob Feb 27, 2004 (10:31 am)
they usually don't go get the van until after they have a customer committment. (Involves making a dealer trade, etc). Maybe they have one coming in on their inventory. I understand the posturing around waiting for phone calls, but I wonder if they're waiting for you to make a committment. Regardless, you're not asking for something unreasonable here. Any worthwhile dealer should be able to work it out with you.   The Van itself, LUV IT! ... The rattling doors are hit or miss depending on the van, but there's a TSB to fix it now. The radio problems were not on the SE model and i'm not sure what you're referring to about fuel to empty ... I think you'll like the NAV and dual screen DVDs ... good choice!

Just got my SL w/ the following options for $28800 (before tax, doc fee)from Denville Nissan in NJ<<   I see the carsdirect price for the configuration you list is $30,341 (which is $600 below invoice). They went $1541 lower than that? Was there an incentive that isn't listed (carsdirect is usually the most accurate with any incentives). Were you eligible to get 1.9% financing as well?
#274 of 573 DAVENOW by nickles Feb 27, 2004 (12:31 pm)
I got the exact same deal ($200 over) on a fully loaded SE. (everything but the tow package). Invoice is $34817.00.. Dealer is charging me $185.00 extra, for lifetime window tint on all windows. I thought this was a super deal, since I live in Phoenix and the tint is an absolute neccesity. total= $35202.00   My Doc & Admin fees I think are fair $299.00. I would try and haggle that, but this dealer has treated me superbly. I have been taking our maxima and pathfinder there for years now - and the Service manager has ALWAYS been cheery, extra knowledgeable and given me breaks on all my costs. When it came time for me to look for a new Quest, he was the once who recommended the sales person that I ended up going with. We sold the Maxima outright (on eBay no less) and got excellent money for it. We didn't shop around at all. This site and KBB have armed me with more information that I ever thought imaginable. I spent a total of about 15 minutes with the sales person. She could just tell I meant business, and there was zero haggling. Right down to $200 over invoice. I am pleased with this deal, and have left a deposit while they order one from the factory. My color is Smoke. Am a little irritated they tell me it could take 2-3 months to get in, but I wouldn't take my business anywhere else. we haven't talked about warranty AT ALL yet. it's not even on my buyers order sheet, which I signed (with the price).. so we'll see. Dealers need to make a profit. If your comfortable with the way you are treated and have a good relationship with the dealer, it is reasonable to expect to pay a couple hundred more.   My dealer is in Tempe AZ..
#275 of 573 SE Recent Deal by rphil Feb 29, 2004 (9:38 pm)
Just bought an SE with single screen DVD for $460 below invoice. Price was $32,300 plus tax and license. Purchased in Southern California in a pretty straightforward deal.
#276 of 573 nickles - wanted to try to get a quest but... by davenow Mar 01, 2004 (8:36 am)
something happened along the way...   i just could not get over the center consol.   i know this is not a bad design... and lots of people said that it will grow on you and all, and on the test dives i took i did not feel out-of-touch with the situation, but again it eventually wore me down.   i purchased a 04 Toyota Sienna XLE LTD pkg#4 HF with DVD. The van just won me over in it's total overall stying. i do like the Quest and some of it's inovations i would love to have seen it in my new van, and i would have givin' it a chance, and i know i would be satisfied with it, but something deep down inside of me told me to go with your gut, and my gut said LTD.   and all this from a 25 yr Honda owner, and never had a problem with any of them! who knew?   good luck with your van!
#277 of 573 nickles - center console by azzurri Mar 05, 2004 (9:39 am)
me too about the center console. My wife really wanted the Quest becuase, hating minivans, she thought it looked least like one. Anyway, I hated the center console. Just SO UGLY. Even though I woudl only drive it when we go out as a fmaily, I couldn't stand that thing. It really is unattrarctive--looks like a tree stump just sticking out of the floor.
