Need to decide which the better deal and i was hoping I could get some free advice. My two choices are as follows: Brand New 2006 Nissan Xterra S with the utility package for 21,500 (pending a dealership can make that price work) with 6.25% financing - 353 montly payments. OR 2005 Xterra SE (rockford fosgate etc.) with 15,000 miles from a rich private sealer who's looking to unload it at 19,000 with 8.45% financing - 316 monthly payments. On one hand, i want the new truck, but on the other i know even with the great deal it will loss excessive value the first year. But it would be brand new and have a longer warranty. But the 2005 SE has bigger rims, better stereo, and more features for less money. But, the SE is a year older and has been used. Just reply with your thoughts on which would be better and why.

I feel good about it and drove it home last night 200 miles... and got 21.4 MPG!!!!! If Nissan reliability holds up over time, this will be the hands down best SUV out there

Yet another bad dealer experience that I need to vent about. So I'm in the market for an 07 Xterra S 4x4 with Utility package. Last Thursday, I sent about 15 emails out to local dealers in PA & received a few quotes back via email, which range about $1500 (give or take) under invoice with the current incentives offered by Nissan. I got a call from Loughead Nissan in Swarthmore, PA who gave me the usual speech about being the #1 volume dealer & that he can beat any pricing. I asked him to provide his quote over the phone but he said he couldn't & told me to come in. I gave him a number instead (slightly lower than the lowest email quote I received from other dealers) & he said he'll talk to his sales manager. About an hour later, I received a callback saying it was a deal so I scheduled an appointment for Saturday. The dealer called back again later in the afternoon asking whether I had a trade in & I said yes & gave him the necessary info of my vehicle. Keep in mind that he had already agreed to the first deal without any mention of trade-in Fast forward to Saturday at the dealership, the Xterra they had waiting for me actually had additional packages on it but was never mentioned over the phone (i.e. Protection package, cargo divider, retractable cargo cover, trailer hitch). Please note that I had specifically only asked for the Utility package & nothing else in my initial email. While waiting for them to assess my trade in value, the salesperson that I dealt with over the phone told me that it was a smart move to shop around by sending quotes out to all the local dealers. After about 20 min of sitting around with only one other customer there, the sales manager shows up & provides a quote for that vehicle that was higher than all the email quotes I had received & low-ball my trade in, so basically the price that they quoted over the phone still remained the same, they just factored the trade-in into the newly raised price. He further insulted me by saying, I don't need to sell you this car. So at this point, I just shook his hand & left. It was a waste of time & partially my fault for not confirming this in writing prior to showing up but I just bought a Honda Pilot 8 months ago & went through the same process & the dealer honored the price when I walked in. There was no written agreement faxed, it was strictly verbal. For this Nissan deal, I would assume that they would be smarter than to pull the bait & switch technique since they knew that I had been shopping on the internet but oh well. So moral of the story is that if you're in the market for a Nissan vehicle, do yourself a favor & stay away from unprofessional, unethical, ignorant dealerships such as Loughead Nissan in Swarthmore, PA. Thanks for listening. |

Replying to: limited_slip (Jan 22, 2007 8:27 am)  In the end the dealership probably felt it was ok to lie to you because you did "shop" prices. Many, if not most, of the really big dealership feel it is ok to say anything just to get you on the lot. If you made any mistakes they were probably not getting the quote in writing and trying to do the trade-in with the deal. I know they promised you a price but trade-ins always complicate things and gives them more opportunities to try and change the deal. I have never traded in a car and I never will. Don't worry too much though. You only lost a little time. You still have your money and there are lots of other dealers. |
