Hi Jfer by steve_ HOST

When I do a TMV calculation for my zip code, I get $29,076, including a $1,000 consumer cash incentive. That's before tax or doc fees.
 
I'm assuming that your sales tax is 5% or around $1,450, making my number around $30,626 with a $100 doc fee. ~$31,100 with just a $500 rebate (that figure must be related to your low financing rate).
 
So I'd say you are doing a little better than the TMV price, but there's probably a bit more room to wiggle if you want to be a grinder.
 
Usual disclaimers about my math - you can do it yourself here.

Thanks. The TMV for my zip is coming out at $30,989 (Before the incentives). Apparently, the new incentive is either $1000 or $500 & 2% (that's what the web says too) for the SL. Opting for the $500, that gives us $30,489 + about $1550 for tax/processing and we are up to $31,549. I think I'm done haggling - although we are going to haggle on the warranty - any thoughts on good prices for Gold Plus or Silver Plus? Or whether we should skip it and go with Warranty Direct or someone else?
 
Thanks.

I personally don't believe in extended warranties and I'm at 96,000 miles on my '99 Quest with no major repairs. But I don't have a DVD or power doors or other expensive things that can break and cost $1,000 to get fixed.
 
So if it helps you sleep better, go for it - my other bias is that the Nissan extended warranty is probably going to always be honored, while a third party one may not be if the company or their underwriter goes broke. Warranty Gold did this a year or so ago and filed bankruptcy, leaving a lot of people holding worthless pieces of paper that they paid lots of money for.
 
Read the fine print on the one you choose because the companies are expert on wiggling out of payment for one reason or another.
 
There is also some debate about the best time to buy - you may get a better price by tying the purchase to the van purchase. Or you may do better waiting and getting it online. You'll have to check with Nissan to see how long you have to purchase one - it may be one year or as long as three years.
 
Good luck!

Just going to see Nissan today by andrea

Been reading this forum and wondering if a) the 2005's are out yet, b) are there any significant changes from 04, and c) what can I expect to pay over/under invoice for an 05 if it's available, or is that fairly dumb if I can get an 04 cheaper?
 
We have been dabbling getting a new car for about a month and have just understood that we really need a minivan. Looking at Quest and the Honda Odessesy, but the 05 Od'y isn't due yet in Chicago area until October and then I suppose they'll be selling for $$. Won't the 05 Quest be a better deal?
 
Any help will be appreciated!

Looking for S or low option SL with lease. Key for us is keeping the payment as low as possible. Anyone out there have good experiences?

Bought SE, 04 3 weeks ago with Nav, Single DVD, running boards, mats, splash guards and cargo cover. We paid $32,500 + T&D. Out of door $34,956 we have 6.75% tax.
 
We had standout due to 129 miles then we were tired for two months of shopping car and we went for it.

Picked up my Majestic Blue/Beige interior SE on Friday. Paid $33,332 including the $1000 rebate for NAV, Dual DVD, Sirius, Mats, Cargo Cover, Splash Guards, Sunroof Deflector, Wheel Locks.
 
Van was built on 06/04 and does have some defects which will need to be repaired by the dealer. However, we are very pleased with the van overall.

Question....I bought my SL in May...and my VIN # is not part of the recall, thus I don't understand how a 6/04 built Quest needs to be repaired...whom told you that it did, and why did you buy it then?
