#67 of 692 Steve by jakevsnake Sep 25, 2003 (10:48 pm)
You have brought up an interesting question. If I were to cancel this service contract, which I have read would be fully refundable within 60 days, or $25/10% of retail price after that, would I have the option to buy it from someone else later? I know I should be able to do better than this from somewhere else. Should I look into a Warranty Gold plan? I know this should go in the warranty section but this topic came up as a result of my price paid at this dealership. If someone else besides Steve can help please post or send me an email at Jakevsnakeaol.com I am travelling at the moment and I am slow to check email as a result but I will keep on it as best that I can. Thanks.
#69 of 692 extended warranty with nissan by iserum Sep 26, 2003 (7:19 am)
Jakevsnae, i think you should keep the warranty with nissan, it is better to keep with the manufacturer, the amount of money you save by buying it from someone else will not be significant (read fine prints with other warranties what is covered and what do you supposed to do for preventive maintanence with vehicle). On the other side your monthly payment will not reduce if you cancel warranty (that is how the contract is written usually). Obviously your payment will be finished in less than 60 months based on how much you get credit by cancelling extended warranty.

Here's a discussion when you get time - check out the recent posts (#127-129) for a transcript of a live chat we had about extended warranties:   Extended Warranties   Steve, Host
#71 of 692 Hurricane Isabel, end of month means good deals by stephenwb Sep 26, 2003 (10:40 am)
A salesman from a local dealer just called me, and sounded very hungry for me to come in and make a deal this weekend. Since we haven't decided exactly what we want, but we were going to go test drive again tomorrow (Sat.), I was non-committal about coming to see him specifically. Eventually, he mentioned that Hurricane Isabel had put them behind for this month, and since this is the last weekend of the month...   If you are looking for a deal, this might be a good time to get one.
#72 of 692 Jakevsnae - Keep the Warranty and More on Prices by tcdenver Sep 26, 2003 (7:01 pm)
Jakevsnae,   If your numbers are correct, I think you got a pretty good deal with the warranty. You were paying an additional $12 per month for 60 months over what you would have to pay if you went with your credit union. Apparently Nissan gave you a better rate as an incentive to purchase their warranty. It amounts to $720 or about $500 in today's money for three extra years or 64,000 extra miles. I think it is a very worthwhile investment.   You cannot determine the cost based on the 4.09%, which is probably a bundle deal with warranty. I would say that for $500, you have bought a lot of peace of mind. This is one of the few occasions that I think the warranty is a very good deal.   You must have got smarter after the visit to Japan! Well done!   Btw, two Denver area dealers advertised almost $2,000 off on the S model in today's paper. Have anyone seen similar discount in other areas?
#73 of 692 Went shopping yesterday for an SE Quest, got ~$600 over invoice by stephenwb Sep 29, 2003 (3:51 am)
Finally got my wife out yesterday to make a final decision about what we want, and ended up negotiating for a deal on an SE Quest. I'm not sure if I can do better or not, so I didn't buy it, but here's the general outline: They're giving me about what CarMax offered me for my trade, and selling me the Quest for approximately $600 over invoice, with me putting down $2000 and getting 3.9%/60 mos.   Pretty good (about what I wanted to pay) but not fantastic enough to get me to buy right then. Basically, I'm holding out for a deal that makes me willing to give up the $2500 I'll make selling the trade myself vs. the $800 I'll get trading it in (trade-in value minus loan balance).
#74 of 692 sucks to be first by shammond1 Sep 29, 2003 (10:30 am)
I wish I had more patients I just had to have this van when it came out and could only negotiate $750 off the MSRP. Now obviously it's a buyers market. Oh well, I still love it. Only problem is a couple of rattles that I need to take it in for.
#75 of 692 dealing in central MD by boa35 Sep 30, 2003 (8:58 am)
Last month I bought a 3.5SL for $2020 under MSRP (7%); $479 over invoice. Not quite as good as I wanted and they beat me up on my trade-in. But they sweetened the deal with 3.79% financing and overlooked $770 in dealer installed options--they found the van, equipped as I wanted, in an adjoining state and either didn't notice the out-of-state dealer's DIOs on the window sticker (they negotiated using only the factory invoice) or just decided to let him eat them. I only discovered them myself after I had left the dealership but figured getting them free evened the score re the price and trade-in.
#76 of 692 Quest SL by mercury10 Sep 30, 2003 (4:42 pm)
Just negotiated a deal in southwestern Ohio for Quest SL with Leather,seat pckg, upgrade pckg, DVD, Navigation/6 CD changer, microfilter, splash guards for $750 over invoice (total price $31,630). I chose to factory order and did all negotiating online. I found carbuyingtips.com an extremely helpful website.
