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 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.. |

| 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. | |

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! |

| 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. | |

It took about 45 minutes of negotiating, but we just closed on Quest SL with the following: Smoke Quest SL Seat Package Upgrade Package DVD Entertainment System Cargo Cover Micro Filter Floor mats Wheel Locks Final price was $27400 - or about $100 under invoice. Negotiation wasn't too bad - the dealer gave us a fair deal on our trade - came up to what we were looking to get for it without too much going around and around. They started at MSRP (plus a $495 "Car Care Package") we offered Invoice -$750. They came to invoice + $300 quickly and then the rest of the time was spent on getting them to come down the other $400. We didn't have to push too hard - we had carsdirect.com pricing (invoice) and would have been okay with that. For leverage, we had carmax.com quote on a similar model for about $700 below invoice, but CarMax is about as far as we would really want to go - about 90 minutes one way for an extra 3 hour trip. |

We decided to go for the "S" with the following upgrades: Smoke Quest S Seat Package Single DVD Entertainment System Cargo Cover In-Cabin Microfilter Floor mats Splash Guards (required in WA state) Our purchase price was $23,540 and 1.9% financing. Edmund's invoice price w/upgrades was $24,789. We feel we got a pretty good price with a great finance rate.

I completly agree with Davenow and azzuri on that wierd looking console.I really liked the the outside lines of this car but when I first got inside and saw that console,I thought"is that an ATM? or some kind of medical test device?" Just doesn't blend with the rest of the van. Sales of this van are only half of expectations and the CEO of Nissan is focusing on why. I had a Dodge Caravan for 10 truoble-free yrs. and ended up buying A Chrysler minivan,similarly equipped, for about $6,000 less. |

| Do you have any additional info on the CEO statement you made ? curious to know what Nissan's focus really is - and where I can read more about it. I have a vested interest since my new Quest won't be delievered until May.. I am thinking the longer I wait, the longer I will perhaps benefit. (cash back, lower MSRP etc...) | |
