#362 of 692 I Take It Back by lynnw Sep 13, 2004 (5:41 am)
Just after posting I received a phone call from my salesperson. He informed me that the extended warranty is in effect for the '04 model. He said that when he replied to my e-mail it was late on Saturday after the service dept had closed. He spoke to them this morning to follow up and they told him they had just recently received their letter. He told me that I should receive something in the mail soon to inform me also. He told me that it was a good thing that they extended the warranty but that I should not expect to see many if any problems with my van since it was just built recently (2 months ago) that the later built models have not really been affected by the problems that they have been suffering from since they have been corrected on the assembly line. I was so happy to receive a phone call from him to clarify this so that I could in turn clarify it with all of you. He was actually surprised that I knew about it before they did. He had even checked Nissans website looking for information and they had nothing there. So hopefully this will put it to rest for us.

#364 of 692 Question on leasing - need some help by LDegrelle Sep 16, 2004 (6:37 am)
I see that Nissan has some 'deals' on leases with the Nissan Quest (S model which is about all I can afford). What I want to know is how set in concrete are the lease numbers? In other words can you haggle with the sales person on a lease like you do a purchase or is it 'set in stone'?   Thanks for the feedback! Replies to this message: lynnw (Sep 16, 2004 8:54 am)

Replying to: LDegrelle (Sep 16, 2004 6:37 am) Leasing is tricky, because they can make it look like you are getting a good deal on the car by simply playing with the payment numbers. I financed through capital one online. I know they have lease programs there too so I would recommend that you go to their website (edmunds has a link) and read up on their site about leases and then use the payment calculator there to figure out what works best for you. Also use the TMV pricing here and get your figures set in stone as to what you really want and can afford. I am afraid that if you walk into the dealership and say that you can only afford a certain amount a month on payment they will totally take you for a ride (no pun intended). It is better to get the pricing online and have your lease or financing set up beforehand and go in and demand your price or walk. This worked for me and I got over $300 below invoice. I dont think I would do it any other way. Good luck!
#366 of 692 Leasing by plashenick Sep 16, 2004 (9:01 am)
There is no difference between Leasing and buying a car.   1) Negotiate your best price 2) Deide how you want to pay: Lease vs. Loan   When you lease a rebate applies to the whole cost of the car, so you only get a portion of the rebate.   When you lease always ask what the residual, loan rate, amount down are. When you pay down a lease you are paying a portion of the car up front to reduce the lease. Remember that a lease is a loan, but there is no early / reduce buyout. In otherwords. Whenever you terminate the lease you are responsible for ALL payments.   You cn trade a lease in when you buy another car. A dealer can take it as a trade and they get to avoid the salestax liability. I got rid of a lease with NO OUT OF POCKET COSTS. on a car with 11 months left. This only works if the car is popular, which mine was
#367 of 692 Re: 2005 Pricing by jod5 Oct 06, 2004 (7:50 am)
Replying to: robbins (Sep 09, 2004 6:17 pm) On Monday (10/04/04), I purchased a 2005 Quest SE with ALL available options...plus two additional headsets (we have four daughters). Negotiated price was $35,051 ($200 over invoice). Nissan does not offer the $1,500 cash back on 2005's and their standard warranty applies (3/36,000 bumper to bumper and 5/60,000 powertrain), but they do offer 3% financing. I felt the trade off of getting a "fresh start" model year would be worth the few additional dollars...hope I'm right.   I sold a 2001 BMW 325i for the Quest so the transition is somewhat painful. However, I looked at, and test drove, ALL current model minivans (including the new 2005 Honda Odyssey) and by far enjoyed the performance, style and safety features of the Quest. The center console was a bit odd at first, but it is perfectly placed when using a Quest equipped with the Navigational System (center requires very little "eye travel" versus competitors that require your eyes to move down the middle of the dash). The 2005's have white faced gauges to help the glare issues experienced last year and pricing has remained virtually the same (but still no lights on the steering wheel controls).   Although very new, we have no squeaks, no rattles and everything works as Nissan intended it to. The girls are thrilled with the dual DVD, my husband enjoys the Nav. System, and I am very pleased with the multitude of features both big and small.

#368 of 692 When will Edmunds finally have 2005 information? by ckielt Oct 06, 2004 (7:56 am)
I'm unpleasantly surprised that Edmunds still does not have 2005 Quest pricing information on its site. They've been on the lots in many metropolitan areas for three weeks. Anyone know when they're going to catch up to the market? Thanks. Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Oct 06, 2004 8:56 am)

Replying to: jod5 (Oct 06, 2004 7:50 am) I've been looking at the Quest on-line, have never seen the inside of one in person, and just had a few questions for jod5, being a new owner of an '05. Having driven the Honda and Toyota, did the Quest feel any less of a "luxury" vehicle? I feel with the Quest, you might be giving up a little luxury for a more "sporty" van, which having driven an Odyssey for five years, sounds kinda fun. And, is not having a tray or console between the two front seats a problem? I'm also used to the tray between the two front seats in my Odyssey. Does the Quest have back-up sensors? Thanks for your help! Oh, and where did you get this great deal??

Replying to: ckielt (Oct 06, 2004 7:56 am) A lot of our pricing information comes directly from dealerships. This includes the True Market Value data, based on actual vehicle sales prices. So, it takes time for sales to occur, then to receive and compile the data. Three weeks is too fast!   kirstie_h Roving Host & Future Vehicles Host

Replying to: jod5 (Oct 06, 2004 7:50 am) Congrats on your new vehicle, and I hope it treats you well. I'm in full agreement with you on the benefits of the Quest, but have been unable to pull the trigger because of reliability concerns and (somewhat lesser) MPG concerns. Since you are one of the first 2005 owners to post here, I'd really appreciate it if you'd keep us posted on quality control and real world miles per gallon. Also I've heard some concerns about the visibility of the gauges (gas in particular) but it sounds like they've addressed that. Enjoy your ride.
