Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Make sure you get a good deal on your trade! If you have one that is.

I would like to say congratulations on your purchase. I would like to know where did you get your 2 TV's with DVDs and how did you hide the cords.
Thanks

Final price was $8,800 below MSRP or $1200 under invoice. I saw the Manheim wholesale numbers on my trade-in so I think the net effect was they took nothing on the Armada and "bought my trade-in" for a few hundred less. I suspect they get better sales commission on that side of the deal and if they retail it instead of wholesale there's a better opportunity to make money.
People are losing their minds due to the price of gas, they must realize that the bottom line is the dollar. I have a female friend that trade her new Armada in on a Honda Accord, lost $8000 in the trade. How much gas could she have bought with $8000? A lot!!
Features of the 2007 Armada include:
· Engine horsepower and torque increases to 317 and 385 lb-ft, respectively
· Flexible Fuel Vehicle Technology added
Has anyone tried to trade one in yet and did you get robbed on it? I think the resale must be horrible and this started way before the gas price thing and Katrina. I think the reputation is following it as the 1st year was horrible. Mine has spent most of its life in the shop. I am a Realtor and was showing a house recently and the potential buyer was also driving a 2004. I asked them if they liked it and they said yes, now but it has been in the shop 14 times and everything has been worked on. I told them, same for me. I lost count. One thing to keep in mind. If a vehicle is being offered for around 9k off of MSRP like I have seen posts on here, then resale is going to be bad. Here in the Austin area, they were offering new 2004 Tahoes for 10 off sticker. Now think about that one. I am glad I got a break off of mine when I bought. Mine has 40,000 miles on it and no way I would sell it to a dealer or trade it in for 15 or 16,000. Mine is super slick also. Needs nothing, interior like brand new. Anyway, just curious if anyone has tried or traded one in.
I hope to drive mine at least until the end of 2008 is the plan as I am not willing to give it away so might as well suck it up and drive it.
I live near Buffalo, NY and I am planning on buying an Armada. Due to the relatively weak US dollar, this car in particular is much cheaper south of the border. I called a couple of Nissan dealers and was quoted prices of about 42k all in for a fully loaded Armada 4WD. The prices inlcuded the current 3k cash back and dest. From what I have read I should be aiming for close to 8k off MSRP which would be 40,600. What suggestions would you have for someone in my shoes that needs to make the best deal possible over the phone.
Thanks,

Keep in mind, the window sticker is a fictitious number. The true value of anything is what someone is willing to pay for it. Also, any change in body style will affect the price of its respective older model years as well.
Furthermore, remember that you are better to take your cash now than bank on any future revenue. Two years ago my friend bought a Toyota Sequoia, the dealership didn't even want to dicker and he wanted the Toyota bad enough to pay the price. Afterwards he repeated the mantra of all Toyota dealerships, "Toyotas hold their value." To which I retorted "Well I hope so considering your $8000 in the hole since you past on the Expedition." Not to mention the interest you could have made on that money.
One quick question-did Nissan ever put any sound deadening material in the roof (on 06/07's) or does it still sound like you are holding an aluminum pan over your head every time it rains?
I don't know about the sound deadening material, but I haven't noticed the noise when it rains. I test drove QX56, it was noisier. I thought it had more sound proofing than Armada, go figure....
I'm interested in purchasing an Extended Warranty for it (I declined it at the dealership) because I thought I could find the Nissan Warranty online (from Marlboro Nissan) for a better price. I did this for my Xterra (previous vehicle) and saved a ton - but I don't see any extended warranties being offered from Marlboro Nissan now.
Anyone have any other options they could recommend to me?
Many thanks!
Call dealerships in your area from your search at NissanUSA.com and ask for warranty price. Price difference I found was $2K. Search for official Nissan USA Service Contract Dealers online as well. Good luck.
It had the tech package with Nav. DVD and Sunroof
7080 miles on it. MSRP is 48,560 about and I got them
down to $39,000 Good price or not for a demo?
Thanks
We are considering a purchase of a 06 Armada. It has the all available options, including the tech package, sunroof, dvd system and all of the little bells and whistles that were availalbe.
It has 9K miles on it - price is $35,598. Any opinions are welcome!!!!!
TIA!!!!!!1
I was just curious so I checked out Kelley Blue Book, retail value is $39,000, but if someone trade it in, $30,000. So it appears they are making $5000 off the vehicle.
Find out how much for a new one, should be able to get $9000 off easy. Look at prior posts.
I got my 2006 LE 4x4 last october. No tech package.
Paid 29,200. It had 20k at the time. I guess I was
lucky, still don't see any deal like that.
-haro
Also, I did a nationwide search on used Armada's and could not find ONE with the options even close to the price we are paying. Most of them are in that 39K range. To the poster who recently purchased an 06 Armada for 29K with 20K and without the tech package - add 4K for the tech package and a bit for the mileage difference and we seem to be about even.
Yes, they are making some money on the car, but so is the dealer - and that's what businesses do.....
Thanks again, you made me search hard to make sure I was doing the right thing.....
I think you need to add another 3k for 4x4. But again, you may be right at the price range, since I think I bought mine a little cheaper. Good luck
