Thank you
I just received another competing quote on an SL w/ Premium package plus cross bars, splash guards, floor mat set and illuminated kick plates: $36,000 + ttl. This is $4,000+ off MSRP and $1,200 below invoice, and requires that I finance through Nissan USA. I'm sure they'll make up a little bit by charging a higher loan rate than market (their first quote is 2.99%) but I still feel this is a great starting point. I'm told that if I finance elsewhere the purchase price will increase $500 -- so it's an interest rate tradeoff.
This is helpful & gives us something to go on should we decide on the Pathfinder. We saw the $500 discount for financing with NMCA too.
cheers
Would like very much to hear from anyone who has driven both and their opinion.
Thanks
2013 Pathfinder Platinum
Black on black
4x4
Premium Package
Floor Mats
Price Paid: $39,600.
This included application of my $500 NMAC cash for Nissan finance.
The car is so luxurious I could not justify 10K more for a JX. I can use regular fuel, 1MPG better (I think), and more headroom in 3rd row. Only thing I miss/want is HID lights.
Negotiated 7 Year 120K Nissan Preferred Gold warranty with no deductible for $2300.
Good luck everybody!
What's the usual cost for the extended warranty?
I checked Edmunds and it looks like you got a car for less than invoice ($40,593) wth an MSRP at $44,495. Your cost of $39,600 is a little less than 1000 UNDER invoice.
Well done!!!
I'll try for a similar deal when the local dealers start getting some Platinum models in. I want just the plain Platinum without any other add ons.
I'm seeing a $36.5-37K OTD for SL+Premium.
After weeks of negotiating online with 3-4 Nissan dealers in my area (Chicago), I finally closed on a purchase.
2013 Pathfinder SL
Premium package
Splash guards
Cross bars
Illuminated kick plates
Floor mats
MSRP $40,470 and I paid $36,200. This includes $500 captive cash for financing through Nissan.
Comparing OTD pricing is difficult since sales tax rates vary from state to state and even city to city. I bought in Chicago, which has both a City and Cook County supplemental tax -- total sales tax is around 10%. Ouch! But I realize this is just part of where I live. Would my car have been "cheaper" in New Hampshire? Sure, but I have chosen not to live in New Hampshire.
Title and doc fees also vary state to state, though this is a much smaller portion of the purchase -- a couple hundred bucks max.
Good luck!
I find it hard to find many Platinum Premiums with the color combo we want. Not too many have MSRPs over $40K.
So what exactly is the "all I can afford strategy"? Do tell.
FWIW we also looked at Toyota Highlanders - for some reason, the non-premium hybrid model isn't available.. only premium, which at first glance puts it at around $46,000.
Oddly, I'm also finding that for some reason, the listed prices on the various dealers' websites show HIGHER msrps than the Nissan site itself.... yikes.
LOL... I was quoted on November 24 for a Platinum Premium at $48,480! That's about $5K over MSRP. I didn't even respond.
Dealer - "OK, how about 39.6K?"
Me - "OK."
Invoice Base: $31,424
Trailer Tow: $347
Floor mats: $152
Destination Fee: $825
Dealer Fees/Profit: $1000
Total: $33748
Driveout was roughly $36,000
We financed with Nissan at 2.54% but they said the negotiated price included the $500 rebate. Invoice price on edmunds has fluctuated so I quoted the price that was listed at the time. The car they sold me had the crossbars on the roof rack already so didn't have to pay extra for it.
Don't forget to look for the $500 edmunds rebate if it's still available on this website that pops up as an ad.
Good luck!
We dealt directly with the new car sales manager.
MSRP 38200
Price 34160
Doc fee 160
Not the best deal, but they gave me more for my trade than any other dealer.
The sales manager was easy to deal with, but the finance manager tried every trick in the book to rip me off.
They had a 599 accessory charge that I made them take off.
They tried charging a high interest rate but I did not allow it.
It eventually worked out in my favor.
$39950
-500 nmac at 2.89% rate
$39450 + taxes, tags, title and $200 dealer fee
Also included roof crossrails which msrp is $300
illuminated door kick-plates $275
mud flaps/protectors which are $150
and I made them throw in the all-weather rubber mats ($180), & full tank of gas ($60)
FWIW, I didn't buy it here but Carmax of white marsh, MD (which is a Nissan dealership) has the same exact model without the dealer added options I mentioned above for a no haggle price of $39,998. You should use that as your starting point for negotiations at a traditional dealership.
MSRP 42,720 which includes splash guards, roof rail cross bars, carpeted floor mats and cargo package, and illuminated kick plates.
Price was $36499 which includes the $500 NMAC rebate.
OTD was 41,617 which includes 1,977+tax for extended warranties.
I believe I did pretty good. Just bought all weather mat from ebay for $111.50 shipped!
That is about $1100 below dealer invoice by my calculations. Was that a VPP price? What dealer did you go to?
Carmax has one identically equipped for $40,518 today.
Thanks for the info. Go Ravens!
If you were asking about the $500 edmunds rebates, it's for all 2013 pathfinder. If you search for pathfinder and look around in edmunds, you should see one of the ads mentioning $500 rebate. This is a separate offer outside from the dealers but you must sign up before your purchase. Just submitted my vin from our purchase. My brother got something similar for the maxima earlier last year.

Can someone suggest/tell me exactly how much you paid for an AWD in the above models i.e. the best price to OTD (incl tax and tittle)? This is for state of Ohio.
$33,750 for 2013 Pathfinder SL AWD with tow package, cross bars, mud guards and floor mats + $372 processing and $27 title. No tax since bought in NH.
I did not get the $500 nissan cash since I went with my own financing of 1.4% through local credit union which works out better in the long run. But I did got the Edumunds $500 visa card (not included in the numbers above).
Got from Jenkins Nissan here in FL.
1, 480/ month inc tax 0 down 0 first month x 39 months.
2, 485/ month inc tax x 84 months finance.
Kindly let me know if these are good offers.
Your opinion will be must appreciated.
I applied on Jan 2nd for the $500 visa gift card...still haven't heard back.
