To give all an idea whats available by tjshan

Sorry I was not able to post this earlier, but we did end up finding just the right Quest for us, then took it on a 3000 mile romp.
 
We live in upstate NY, near Rochester, but were unable to find any local dealers willing to deal much as inventories were very low. So while visiting family in Maryland, we began calling around and found a dealer in Preston, MD that groaned but met my price. Here is the deal.
 
2006 Quest 3.5 SL with Special Edition package, floor mats, micro filter, roof cross bars, extra winter rubber mats Out the door for $23,000. No trade, no financing. I think it was a pretty good deal, he had to trade for one in the right color (red) and he even offered to deliver it to NY, but my wife was so excited she wanted to drive it home.
 
The only things we are still waiting on are:
 
The headphones were not in the vehicle, the dealer says the other dealer must have kept them and he is trying to recoup them... I am not sure if they came with the car if we did not get the DVD, but I am going to let him try. Anyone know for sure?
 
Also, the catalog states the 3.5SL has heated seats (shown in the options matrix) but they are not on the vehicle...The dealer is supposed to be trying to contact his rep to find a solution. Does anyone out there have heated seats with the cloth interior?
 
So far, 3500 miles and we are pretty happy. great room, versatility (we are coming out of a 1998 Villager/Quest), new car feel. The multitude of dash controls are tricky, especially when you are trying to get used to them at 70MPH, but that is what a co-pilot is for.
 
One question for ya'all, we are at our first oil change. I have always done my own, but with a NEW car, I am not so sure it is advisable for the warranty. Any thoughts? Would a jiffy lube type of thing be OK? I shudder at the thought of a $100 dealer oil change, especially when I did not buy it there.
  
If anyone has any insight into either of these option issues or the maintenece thing I would be greatfull.

I have an 04 SL with cloth seats. The heated seats was a standard feature for the SL.

2007 SE by baxter3

I just negotiated $34291. for an 07 SE. MSRP is $38435. 36 month lease, 12000mi/yr, residual 48% and money factor .00228. I know the price paid is a great deal but what do you think about the lease terms? We have excellent credit rating and wonder if the terms could be better. Please answer ASAP as we are going to get it tonight.

See above for my deal...your money factor seems better and our credit is also sterling (rating is well above 740, which is all they care about). Your residual seems low, however; I was quoted 51% for 36 month lease.
 
If your lease is through Nissan, I wonder why such a discrepancy between your money factor and mine....hmmmm.
 
Also, what options are you getting on the vehicle?

We got it! Options: dual dvd, SE tech pkg, seat pkg, floor mats, mud flaps and moonroof deflector.
 
I was quoted the 51% residual on a 24 month (not 36) lease from two separate dealerships, and also found same info at leaseguide.com. We ended up with 48% for 39 mos. and money factor of .00228. (44% for 36 mos.)
 
Out the door was $1500. and $547/month. No trade and made the deal over the phone. Had contacted 4-5 other dealerships via internet/phone but this was only dealership who had color/options we wanted in stock. Plus we had already been to dealership and kind of working with a salesperson already. First lease ever and we were very pleased with how things went.
 
And, I must confess that your post had VERY much to do with us making the decision this weekend to go ahead and purchase. I saw what a GREAT deal you got and decided to go for it, and whaddayaknow, they accepted the first offer we made! Thank you Thank you Thank you

HI: Glad you got your Quest and that you are happy with it. It sounds like you got a good deal and had a good experience with the dealer. I did not understand, Did you get the DVD player? I would imagine the headphones SHOULD come with it if you have the DVD. I did not just check this first hand but I did not even think there was an 06 3.5SL with a Special Edition package. I thought it was just the 3.5S that came with the Special Edition package??? Also, if I remember correctly the SL did not have heated seats but it did have heated mirrors. BUT if it is a 3.5Sl with Spec Edition package then it may well have heated seats and I have no idea what I am talking about.
 
I have been very happy with our 06 3.5S (Spec Ed). We are not even at 1000 miles yet. It took me a while to get used to it, esp the gas mileage. But after having to use our 02 Honda Accord SE last week b/c my husband switched the car seats back to that I know i really love driving the Quest. Good luck with your new vehicle.

Congrats. Glad to have been of help. Looks like we got rougly the exact same deal ($710/$711 under invoice), but your lease seems better (to the tune of $1k upfront and another $1,500 over 39 months).
 
This was my first lease as well...if there are others that have greater experience and could comment on why there may be such a spread, it would be appreciated.

Part of the difference could be due to the tax laws in your state. Here in Illinois, you pay the tax on the entire cost of the vehicle, not just the portion applicable to your lease term. It stinks, but for the present, we have to live with it. I believe there are a few other states that work this way as well, but most only charge the lessee tax that applies during the term of the lease.
