If the MSRP on the KC-LE is $33,508, why not just get a CC? Resale value on a CC is far better than the KC.
anyways, i look forward to hearing how you fair on your truck deal - good luck!
-thene
Thene, I'm just joking a little with you & I do appreciate your input in this forum.
I have not made the Titan purchase yet I'm gettng very cold feet but I don't know why I think they are getting right with me on the price.
MSRP 33800
dealer offer 28893 no fees
Your buddy, Keith
I negotiated a deal here in the New Orleans area for just over invoice without the rebate since I would opt for the 2% finance. But it was a LE almost fully loaded.
Good Luck and lets us here how it gooes in Shreveport/Dallas.
I've been on the lookout for a LE CC with the NAV, Big Tow, Bench seats, Side Air Bags and they are hard to find without the DVD option already added.
just kidding ;-) i hope all works out well for you! see if you can split the difference with them. tell them you want to do $28400. see what they say to that!
keep us posted!

05 Titan CC Red Alert (yes it's on their lot)
Big tow
Leather capt. chairs
under seat storage bin
Floor mats
Sliding bed extender & spray in bed liner
MSRP $33800
My offer $28400 after rebate
their best offer $28893 no other fees
Here in Oklahoma we have excise tax, about $1000 on this truck. You pay it when you do the tag and title.
I have tried to meet them in the middle but they do not want to move on the price any more. According to Thene the invoice is $28400. I asked them to show me the invoice & they fumbled around looking for it & then said oh the truck is too new & we don't have it. Now I was born at night but not last night. I was ready to do the deal here I am at $28400 After rebate I'm putting down about $8000 - $9000 down & we can't reach an agreement. Not to brag but my credit rating is pretty high 790 the last time I checked. I tried to get them to find me an APR of 3.99, My credit union is offering 4.49 APR. I think if I was selling the truck & I had a customer at $28400 & I was at $28893 I could sell that truck. At this point I think they are setting back thinking to themselves we've got this sold & we will wait until he comes up to our price, the best I can figure they will make
about $1385 (including holdback) at the price they are asking. I feel like $1000 is fair & like I said in other posts I don't have a problem with them making a good living. Thene, please help me out am I being unreasonable?
Just a note: I believe to get yourself the best deal you must take your time & don't seem to eager. Years ago I looked for a truck for a year before I bought one.
thanks, Keith
remind me again - is this an LE Crew Cab? and is it a 4x4? Before I knew the equipment on the truck, i just ran any titan that came out to the MSRP you are saying (33800) and came up with the invoice price. (regardless of vehicle, invoice is about the same percentage from MSRP) but i am running an LE Crew Cab 4x4 now with the equipment you are looking for, and i have a much higher msrp. let me know so i can help ya out!

The truck is 4x2 & LE red alert.
Vin# 1N6AA07A65N53747728500
yes only red alert one here in okc with similar options.
there are some black ones which I was originally interested in until I saw a red one.
thanks, Keith
thanks again, Keith
you could go in there with a checkbook, put it down in front of the manager and say "$28400 plus tax, reg, doc and i write this out to you today" see if that does anything. if they still dont budge, and its the only truck out there, then you either have to pick another truck more readily available, or pay what they are offering you to get what you want. by no means is what they are offering a bad deal - but they do have the upper hand in this deal because its the only truck out there like it. good luck to you, let me know how it goes!
-thene
It's a game of poker. Who will blink first?........
This may sound really stupid but if these guys would have met me in the middle at $28600 I would already be driving the thing. I think according to Thene invoice is $28400 & if I paid $28600 they would make holdback ($852+$200) I thought this would be a fair deal for everyone.
Another thing I am determined to avoid is the FEEL of the WHEEL will seal the deal!
It's not that I'm in dire need of another car since I currently have five vehicles & what I drive as my daily right now is a 98 F-150 with 65,000 Miles on it & running fine/ more pep than the new F-150.
thanks for your input guys, Keith

Thanks

any news on the titan? sorry about not getting back to you on rebate. Nissan doesnt let us know on those any sooner than you get to find out. it looks like the incentives have gone up on the king cab - $2000 back. $1500 back on the crew cabs. i guess those seem to be more popular! They still wont budge on their price? that seems pretty messed up. usually dealers will go ahead and split the difference - especially for something as small as $200 bucks. have you tried speaking directly to the manager? if you haven't, give that a shot.
btw, i am a she, not a he ;-)
best of luck! keep us posted!
-thene
you should be able to get a titan without the XM and have it dealer installed later. that will make the process easier, but may cost you a bit more (dealer install always costs more than factory install) and it wont look like a "high schooler" did it. it doesnt seem like you are looking for a weird truck - sounds pretty standard to me! good luck!

2005 Crew Cab LE Red Alert 4x2
MSRP $33800
their best offer $28893
my best offer $28400
Thene, I have noticed if I do a dealer search in Texas their MSRP is about shown as $150 -$200 cheaper. I am wondering why?
thanks, Keith
keep us posted :-)
I am new on this board and I'd like to thank the host and all the contributors for their posts and info provided here. (already browsed almost all the messages).
I am planning to purchase a crew cab SE 4x4 (like to have leather, tow package and bedliner, but I could add them later) or a naked LE if reasonably priced. I am in bay area, CA and so far have had a few quotes over internet. Quotes I get so far are all in the range of 27000 and 27400$ invoice (after rebate and everything) for a SE. Is this the best I can do?
There was also a SE with popular package and fosgate stereo,2004 and around 500 miles on the odometer (demo?). The dealer said there was some damage to the front bumper from moving cars in the lot and they had to replace that too :confuse: . Anyhow the color is not even what I like but the price on this one was 24500 after rebate.

I would've pounced on a titan by now but the bed is just too small. Another foot or so and I'd give up my superduty. Does anyone know if they will ever build a Titan with a bigger bed? I wonder if other potential customers beef about this.
I also wish I could find a thenebean around these parts. Sounds like someone it would be joy to do business with!
thanks for the kind words! im sure there are some really nice people around your neck of the woods (wherever that may be). i suggest trying a local family owned dealership, instead of a really huge mega dealer. you tend to find some nice people there! you may not get the lowest price ever known to man, but you'll get a great buying experience and great service. after all, a deal isn't done once you sign the paperwork - its about how you are treated after the sale as well! get to know some of your local dealers, and you'll find that they'll bend over backwards to help someone who is loyal to them! (loyalty is tough in this day and age!)
as far as a longer truck bed on the Titan - it could be possible, though i haven't heard of anything positive yet. i do know that when nissan released the titan, they wanted to get the most popular configurations out to the public, with the possiblity of more configurations down the road, depending on how they do. it may be a few years before you see anything different (maybe the next redesign). the king cab has a pretty long bed...plus with the bed extender, it would help!
-thene
Yes, I think I read somewhere also that they might configure a longer bed. The bed on my truck is 8' and it's big enough for all my needs. I just can't be bothered by those smaller beds. There's nothing worse than trying to cram a load of something into a bed that's too small and then you have to tie it down or cover it up or whatever. I don't care for bed extenders. Had one on a 150 and it was just plain silly.
My perfect Titan would be a CC with at least the 6.5 ft bed. Maybe if I start softening up the Mrs now, she won't beef too much by the time Nissan comes out with it!! You think? By the way, I understand you're from CT -- where 'bouts? My wife is from Stratford. Maybe you can't say on this board ..... I can understand.
My last two purchases were not from the family owned stores, but I did find a pretty comfortable arrangement with a mega dealer. In fact, when I took by beast in for servicing just a couple of weeks ago, I went into the showroom just to sniff around. The guy that sold me the truck was there. I recognized him straight away (not so hard to do!). But he blew me away when he came up to me and said "good morning mr. XXX". That just wiped me out. How did he remember my name????? Hadn't seen him in a year! My cynical side thought maybe they get a list of people due in from the service dept. because you never know if they'lll wander into the showroom (like I did). But still ........very impressive! Is that a trick of the trade, or what?
Take care.
i try to remember all of my customers names, but i cant always remember everyones name. i do remember their faces, and if i think hard enough, i can usually think of it. but there are some people (maybe who i spent more time with or were a more memorable experience) that i do remember names to.
i remember when i bought my car, i went back a month later to get my oil change, and the salesperson i had didn't recognize me! and i had bought a bright yellow car, and wore bright yellow pants the night i picked it up! (i like yellow!)
go figure!
