After a test drive and some haggling this is what I'm looking at:
05 Granite S 4X4
Power, Utility, Protection
Molding, Splash Guards
Floormats, Mirror, Cabin Micro
Retract. Cargo
Final price from dealer: 22,290 + TTL
That includes the rebate
Any thoughts? (It'd be so great if I got feedback tonight, I'm wheeling and dealing again tomorrow )
I was quoted via email $22,860 for the following:
2005 S 4x4
Automatic
bdysd moldings
retractable cargo cover
floor mats
protection pkg
splash guards
in-cabin micro filter
MSRP: $26,650
The $22k price quote includes the $2,000 rebate being offered right now.
Does this sound like a good price? Do you think there will be some neg. room since this $ was given to me by email....I haven't visited this dealership yet. Also, I want to look into leasing this vehicle just to see the difference in the monthly payments. In the case of a lease, is it correct to assume that the lease would be based upon the $22k price or does that price need to be re-negotiated?
Thank you in advance for your response. Also, please bear with me...this is my first time posting here.
Thanks!
Jagfin, was that for a stick or automatic?
Thanks all!
It was for an automatic.
It was a 2 wheel and not a 4 x 4. Hope you find a deal for your Xterra.
I searched through consumerreports and ordered the detail pricing guide that gave me the number to work with regarding how much to pay. Now i am trying to figure out how to change my xterra for a 4x4 model without loosing a lot of money in the process.
1. those getting fairly discounted extended warrenties, do you happen to know what level of protection you are getting for that price? I know Nissan offers bronze through gold packages, and have been told the discounts usually don't cover as much as one would like (personally I would go with the absolute most coverage if I were spending anything on a warrenty).
2. What kind of financing are people getting. I am new to car buying and have seen much better deals in the past. I realize the current economy/interest rates etc play a big role in this, but with someone with reasonable credit, what would I be expecting to pay?
thanks for humoring my perhaps naive questions

thanks
congrats on your patience for you shall be rewarded. Sounds like we bought the same car.

I just bought an SE 4X2 with 15 miles.
.
MSRP is $26,630. Follow the numbers: my cost $22.1, dealer add ons $650, tax title transfer $1500, REBATE $1500. Walk out price $22.7k in Winter Haven, FL.

you should get at least this deal minus -$500. for the now $2000. rebate.
I have 1500 miles and am glad I decided on the SE for the 17" tires and mp3 stereo. I would love to have the 2006 driver's seat. I heard they now have elbow rests. I don't know how to add them but what a gargantuan oversight.
PRO's: strong engine, stereo and rugged good looks.
CON's: stiff ride and NO ELBOW RESTS.
good choice, tampa
Thanks again Tampa and if anyone else has feedback, I would appreciate it.
I am actually moving to your area in FL and would be interested in the dealer that you purchased from. Sounds like this is a pretty unique deal, as no other dealers will even talk to me about a price near what you got. feel free to email me the details, or if you could offer the dealership name, etc... with who might be most helpful, that would be great. Thanks again

Southern California Market
Granite SE 4x2
MSRP ~26,550
Invoice ~24,700
Negotiated to ~23,700 + TTL
Finally $2,000 Rebate
This is no where near the deal Tampa got, but I did my fair share of talking with dealers and in this market out here, I truly do not believe it is possible. Most quotes I got were about $300 under invoice. Some were over invoice and I just ignored those. Pretty much the salesman feel they are hitting their limits at $500-$600 under invoice. I said thanks but I'll try somewhere else and at that time they transferred me to the fleet department. It was end of the month and didn't take much to get him to $1000 below. When I started talking with the various people, I mentioned the deals back East where they were getting over $1500 to $2000 below invoice before the rebate. They were adamant that couldn't happen and I believe them. Now after the deal was closed, the fleet guy did say they only way he thought a deal that low could occur is if a dealership mis-managed their inventory and had a unit on the lot for over 200 or 250 days. He said then the insurance on the car jumps to a very high bracket and it becomes exceedingly expensive to keep the unit on the lot. In that case, he said dealerships would place a special ad in the paper and it would be a "loss-leader". He says those deals come around rarely, only one unit, you have to hope it is the model/color/accessory you want, etc., and snap it up before someone else does. He further clarified that in Southern California, that would be hard to find since we have a dense younger population geared towards the Xterra, so dealerships are able to turn their inventory well enough to avoid the 200+ days on the lot scenario.
Bottom line, if anyone is paying around invoice it is too much. Go in prepared and disregard their offers. It shouldn't be too difficult to get $1000 under without including the rebate. Now could you squeeze a few hundred more???? Maybe, but I think the effort becomes too much compared to the amount gained. Getting another $500 off would be worth the battle but I didn't think I could get it and $100 more really wasn't worth making the deal confrontational.
After 2 days with this vehicle, I'm all smiles. Christmas came early and I'm totally pleased!
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.
Thanks
Thanks,

Your dealer lied about the protection package. I just bought an 05 SE 4X4 two weeks ago for $23,500 and the window sticker lists the protection package, along with splash guards, retractable cargo cover and body side molding as options.

I'm fixing to buy a 06 Xterra S (with U package). I was just wondering if you think I would get the best deal buying before or after Christmas? Or is that not much of a difference? I was going to start my neg. at 21k and see which dealer gives me the best OTD price
utexas
I'm in Houston, TX too....looking for '06 SE 4X4. Had one offer - 27k + TTL , but still looking.
Thanks
Guess we'll see. FWIW I've purchased 2 vehicles from Mossy Nissan before. They are tough as nails on the deals. Champion seems like a bunch of newbies who couldn't get arrested (or much else) on a Saturday night. Sterling McCall seems to be upfront and no B.S., however we don't have a deal yet.
Good Luck to you!
Is ur 05 SE 4x4 automatic? Also is $23500 OTD or before TTL? Thanks.

And they throw in free life time oil change
I think this is not bad deal. What do you guys think?
Please let me know the Dealership name .
I went in with the lowest quote I got after calling around town and told them to beat it or I will stand up and leave. Another local dealer has a similar quote with 10 years powertrain warranty included. So they beat it by 200 bucks and threw in free lifetime oil change instead. And the deal was closed in 30 minutes.(learned from carbuyingtips.com to only negotiate under 30 minutes) I chose to go to them first because they are the closest Nissan to my location and I know any dealer can beat or at least match any local offer. Besides, they told me they still have 37 05 models on their lot so I know the chance of finding one in a color that I like will be higher. And without having to locate one for me, I should be able to get them to give me a better deal.
Hope that helps. Let me know how yours goes.
Thanks for replying .
