Hey all, thanks for all the great info in this forum. It definitely helped when getting my Xterra. I had a similar experience as Trojan2000 (obviously a fellow SC guy! Go Trojans!) in the Southern California market. I actually think I got a pretty decent deal in the end. I shopped around for a specific color 05 SE 4x4. I solicited tons of dealers and finally ended up getting it last night. Here are the numbers. I got a 2005 SE 4x4 with tow package, side air bags, splash, mats. I didn't get Sirius but I think I can get that installed for cheaper than they wanted. Anyway MSRP was 29,500. I got them to 23,800 before TTL. I got another $1800 for my trade. Total out the door was $24400. That is about 1300 under invoice.
I have to say that by far this place was the best dealership I dealt with the entire time. Every person I worked with on down the line was stellar. Friendly, personable but yet still businesslike. And I think I got a good deal too. Anyway, thanks to all for the info on here.

Looking to buy an '06 offroad 4wd with specific color and options. Doubt I'll find what I'm looking for on the lots so early in the model year. My question for all is how close to invoice do you think I can get on a vehicle that will have to be ordered? I'm in Houston, Texas.
Thanks

Hi Crowhill, did you make the purchase yet? I went to my first dealership today and test drove both an Xterra and Pathfinder. The PF had a smoother ride, but the Xterra felt roughedly good. They gave me a quote of $21,900 for a 4X4 S, with the Power, Protection, Utility, and the Supplemental Airbag packages. Seems like a reasonable deal after reading some of the other threads. I'm in Long Island, New York (Nassau county). If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears.
Thanks,

Hey Erickriv. I'm also shopping around for a 2005 Xterra. The best deal I've gotten was roughly $3500 under invoice including the $2000 rebate of course. Took many phone calls back and forth. The color isn't my favorite but thats no biggie. Play hard to get= maybe they'll come down. Let me know how it goes.

DEALER NAMES PLEASE! I will look up dealers by city and state and e-mail them unless you or someone will give the name which I could then look up on Nissanusa for their e-mail address, map and such.

They only had one left on the lot. I'm still deciding and won't know until tomorrow. If I don't want it, I'll freely provide you with the Dealership name then.

My credit union has a free price negotiating service that I was going to use. I was only supposed to find the Xterra I liked and let them do the haggling. When I called him this morning with the price quote they gave me, he told me to go for it. The sticker was $27,020. He told me that he's been negotiating prices around $24K to $23K across the country. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'd say $1000 under. Try it or better yet, try $1500 and negociate up to 1000.

robins5 - Its been a few years since I've done this. I'm in talks with 3 different dealerships and as far as price is concerned they are all $100 - $200 over invoice. In the old days true invoice info was hard to come by and you had to pay for it. Now sites like Edmunds, KBB etc have this information out in the open for the world to see. This leads me to believe that dealerships must have arrangements with Nissan to protect their profit margins. How else could you sell at cost/invoice or below and stay in business? Sort of leads me to believe that invoice information these days means very little OR the dealerships are making up the slack on discounted sales by "sticking it" to the totally uninformed consumer. If you're right on the $1000.00 under invoice then I've got a long ways to go in negotiations !
Thanks
