#132 of 296 Re: 2006 Armada LE [jmc100] by green5051 Mar 23, 2006 (2:45 pm)
Replying to: jmc100 (Mar 23, 2006 8:51 am) We purchased from Earnhardt Nissan in Mesa, AZ.   I ended up using their financing only because they matched the best rate I could get through the internet. They gave me 6.19% for 72 months (we plan on keeping this for the long haul).   Traded a 2004 VW Jetta that they gave us blue book for, which was equal to the payoff. We did not put any money down.   It took some negotiating on our part but I was happy in the end.
#133 of 296 extended warranty by shopinful Apr 02, 2006 (11:28 am)
We have a 2004 Armada and fortunately have had very little problems with it except brakes. Because of the other problems people have posted, would like to get an extended warranty before ours runs out. Can anyone suggest a good one? And what can I expect to pay for one for how long?

#135 of 296 Armada experiance by autoboy16 Apr 16, 2006 (9:16 am)
After egging my dad on about how great the armada is and how it bests the expedition on many levels, I got him interested to go see. We arrived on the lot of maronee nissan of kendall and 1st checked out the certified pre-owned vehicles (after many salesmen ambushed us). We found a black 04 armada SE rwd with 50k miles priced at 30k. Before much talking with the consultant he gave us a price of 26k (which is still much considering mileage, missing nissan logos in the wheels and the indents in the rear seats). We test drove it with minimal fuel in the tank (warning light was on) and still those 300 horses came to life!!! The torque was enough to push us into our seats with little throttle!! He loved the parking sensors, the SE's leather, the rear entertainment and the freezing ac. We didn't check out the 2006s on the lot. The only problem he had on the armada was the 1 piece folding rear seat and the price. We notified the salesman of the missing caps indents in the seat and he said he'll have all 4 replaced BEFORE we purchased and he did an honorable deed of telling us that the front tire had no thread left and he would replace all 4 (and spare). We'll be going there in a week to work out the price and vehicle appraisal.   Now my delima: an 2004 with 50k miles and an tires worn out like that!? Was it from the previous owner or is the truck doing that . Otherwise we're looking forward to owning a certified pre-owned armada and cruising all summer (even with the high gas prices)   ps it was the front passenger side tire.

#136 of 296 2006 Nissan Armada LE 4x4 Technology Package by bksquadron Apr 16, 2006 (1:20 pm)
Hi! I purchased this 2006 Nissan Armada in April:   LE. 4x4. NO DVD player. Technology Package (NO satellite radio).   MSRP: $47,415. Invoice: $42,947. Final Drive Out Price (TT&L included, $2,500 rebate included): $41,750. Tax = 6.25%, Title & License = $280: ($41,750 – $280) / (1 + 6.25%) = $39,031.   Please give me your feedback as to whether you think this was an excellent deal or not. I would appreciate it thanks!
#137 of 296 Re: Armada experiance [autoboy16] by soldaustin Apr 16, 2006 (10:14 pm)
Replying to: autoboy16 (Apr 16, 2006 9:16 am) If they had 50,000 miles on them, I don't see how they could be original. I bought my 2004 new and replaced one tire at around 12 or 13k miles. I got a nail in it and it was worn out anyway. We even swapped the other front tire with the spare so I would have 2 new tires on the front. The tires were rotated every oil change at 3,000 miles and still wore out. I ended up buying the other 2 at I think around 20,000 miles. I can't remember exactly as I have done so much. I had Sears do an alignement and they said it was off on all 4 wheels. Well it still would wear tires. Then finally I got Nissan to do the aligment and had to pay for it which irked me to no end since the problem was always there. It seems to have stopped the wear now but my 2nd set of tires already have pretty good wear on the backs (that were on the front) I am not sure how many more miles I will get out of them. My Armada has only 38,500 miles on it and I got it in Novemeber of 2003. (end of November) It seems there was such a bad problem with alignment that they even came out with a bulletin on it. When I asked about the bulletin and asked them why they didn't say anything when they rotated my tires for me, the only answer I received was oh, your warranty is out and you can't get the bulletin. I asked why when they knew I had a problem when I took it in each time and asked why my tires were wearing?? They said, sorry, you can pay for an aligment so I said, forget you and took it to Sears. I think it was something like 12,700 miles I had and they told me it ran out at 12,000 miles. I asked about the bulletin. They said, that is only good during the normal warranty period. Talk about ripoff! I will never buy another Nissan and especially an Armada. If it is a 2004, run for the hills!!! They are buggy, buggy. Check back on my old posts and you can see what problems I had out of mine. I finally seem to have most resolved except the exhaust leak sound when stopping at a stop sign or light etc. It will start up and get loud. There was a bulletin on it but of course, they told me they never heard it so couldn't check it. My last trip in they found my body bolts on one side were missing, 3 of them!! I had taken it in for the bumps and asked why the thing would shake so bad over dips in the road, etc. They told me time after time it was normal. I should have sued them for neglect as I had documented proof that I had taken it in for the same problem time and time again. It probably never had the body bolts. He said my body was twisting when I hit bumps and said it was unsafe to drive. Anyway, it is my fault that I didn't pursue the lemon law. It was in the shop for so much, I lost count. So anyway, sorry for the long post, but run from the 2004. I am not sure about a 2006 but they are probably much better. I know the 2005 had some problems. Oh, my drivers door dropped down again and the bolt is about to fall out for the 2nd time so I will just fix it myself. Try to put some lock tight on it. These things are really poor quality but even with all the problems, I love the vehicle. That might sound stupid but it runs strong and now I am down to the one problem that I will just live with. The trade-in is so bad on them you don't dare trade it in or take a beating so I will drive it a couple more years if it holds up.
#138 of 296 Used 2005 Armada by millar May 08, 2006 (7:14 am)
Can anyone give me some feedback on the 2005 Armada generally, and the price of one specifically? A dealer I trust has a 2005 LE 4x4, loaded (DVD, sunroof, etc.) with 18000 miles on it with $35,800 listed on the window. I think I can negotiate downward or negotiate my trade upward. I'm looking for a vehicle that can comfortably hold 3 carseats and has 4 wheel drive (we have a 2001 Pathfinder LE with allmode and it is probably going to be too small). I've had nothing but good luck with Nissans (2001 pathfinder LE and 2005 frontier LE), but am concerned about the Armada's quality. So:   1. would you recommend it? 2. is this a good price? 3. does it run on regular (not premium) gas? 4. any other thoughts on vehicles?   p.s. the new pathfinder also seems a little tight on leg room Replies to this message: gvr4wd (May 08, 2006 7:40 am) millar (May 08, 2006 7:53 am) gvr4wd (May 08, 2006 10:33 am) aggiedog (May 09, 2006 4:03 pm)

Replying to: millar (May 08, 2006 7:14 am) I've been shopping for a *NEW* 06 Armada. Found LE 4x4 with DVD for $36K. I'd buy a brand new.... Shop around. Replies to this message: millar (May 08, 2006 7:53 am) gvr4wd (May 08, 2006 10:33 am)

Replying to: gvr4wd (May 08, 2006 7:40 am) Just started shopping, but thanks for the information. A dealer is willing to sell you a new Armada for $10k below MSRP? I hope I find a deal as good as that one. Replies to this message: gvr4wd (May 08, 2006 10:33 am)
#141 of 296 Re: Used 2005 Armada [millar] by gvr4wd May 08, 2006 (10:33 am)
Replying to: millar (May 08, 2006 7:53 am) Well, not quite $10K, I was little off. MSRP $45515, QUOTE $37160 including freight with the $2500 factory rebate. Remember, there is a $2500 rebate from Nissan.
