Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 21, 2008 10:26 am) Quite attractive, but.. I'm in no need for a new luxury car right now. I will admit, though, the EX35 is one beautiful car, but the fuel economy on all the Infinitis is atrocious, and they all require Premium. Today in the paper I saw the following deal: Buy a 2008 Nissan Quest, Titan, Frontier, Xterra, or Pathfinder, and get a 2009 Nissan Versa 1.8S for free. The tag line was "Drive the Versa when you need to, and the Titan/Quest/Frontier/Xterra/Pathfinder when you want to" Not a bad deal, really, but I'm sure this is all bait and switch. On the GM Employee Pricing, I'm liking the deals on the Saab 9-3, but I'm biased because I like the cars. Nothing else is particularly attractive, though, especially when Nissan's doing some serious dealing.

Replying to: corvette (Aug 23, 2008 8:27 am) Now, there's a marketing idea that would get some people in the door.  GM is making deals all over the place. I even saw an ad for something along the lines of $10K off a Tahoe hybrid. Saw some of the same big discounts on Corvettes. It makes me drool just a little bit. kyfdx....I'm with you on the EX 35. I drove one when I was out shopping recently. Although I was impressed, I was left with the idea of "what's the point?" There really isn't enough room in it to even qualify as a wagon.

Replying to: graphicguy (Aug 24, 2008 8:07 am) Combine that with a higher price, and you're destined to have a product that will be discounted heavily. It's a very beautiful car, though, despite the lack of space, and it does seem more practical than a G35... |

Hi Everyone, greatings from your friends up North  My mum is looking to upgrade to something new from her current 2001 RAV4, which has about 120,000KM on it (~75K Mi). Anyways, she is trying not to put out too much, and thankfuly these RAVs have a great resale value up here. Couple that with the common border we share with you guys and the knowledge available online, it is easy for us Canucks to buy a car down south (maybe Canadian dealers will stop gouging us if we speak with our wallets and buy down south...). Anyways, long story short - What's the best deal in the 20k (USD, obviously) and below range for something with AWD? I was thinking 2009 Ford Escape, if some serious rebate action opens up on that. Otherwise the 2009 Vibe AWD looks good. It has to be one of these makes (for warranty validity purposes on cross border sales): - Ford - GM - Toyota - Mazda - VW - Volvo - Infiniti Obviously I don't expect to find any $20K or below deals on a volvo or infiniti, but if you guys have seen any smoking deals on something form one of the above manufactures, I would appreciate the heads up! I was also looking, and it seems like the Vue is on a pretty good discount, but its going to be well over $20K still for a decent unit. $20K is about the price ceiling I am looking at.

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 26, 2008 6:53 am) I'd second that. Probably go with the Vibe for no other reason than it's a clone of the Matrix and GM is offering employee pricing on it. |

Replying to: amorak (Aug 25, 2008 7:45 pm) I'd suggest another RAV4, perhaps? Or what about the Nissan Rogue (if the Nissan warranties cross the border) I'd also second the Vibe/Matrix recommendation as well. |

If you are looking for a minivan, you should consider the Nissan Quest. The Quest board is reporting ridiculously low prices for the base and S models. Over $10k discounts.

Replying to: dtownfb (Aug 28, 2008 5:59 pm) Some dealers are willing to deal, others are not. Find a dealer who has lots of inventory and start emailing them for OTD offers. Use the Edmunds TMV to find out the MSRPs with the options you want. |
