I got a quote for Quest SL with DVD, Leather & sky-view package at $24,700 before TTL. Is this a good price?
It just depends on what you WANT.
BTW, the dude on FatWallet paid $18,427 OTD for the S with Drivers Package.
By the way UR Welcome. He actually put $500 down, so the price was $16743.78
Facts a fact my friend.

I got the black 3.5 for 15,250 plus tax. I get it on Friday. Couldn't find anyone to match it. Certainly not in Cincinnati, which I couldn't get under 20K. They basically told me (we know we have the only base models in town and I'll sell them to someone who doesn't know any better). Chicago has some base models, NC has some, St. Louis (not the dealer I went to) has some. I think the next best price I could get on a base OTD plus tax was 16K. I certainly had a hard time getting some responses from dealers. I contacted every dealer (about 20+) in an 8 hour radius of Cincinnati, that had a base Quest and I maybe have been contacted by 1/2 of them. Seems like they are all busy covered up with this deal. I confirmed today that the dealer kick back will not continue past August. (this is what I was told after the deal?) Good Luck!
Also what are everyone's opinions on extended warranties??/ I can get the 7 year 100K one for around 1400? I'm leaning against it, but with all the technology on cars these days it makes it harder to work on them and diagnos???

Read Confessions of the F&I Manager on this site. He says DO NOT BUY THE EXT WARRANTY. The mark up from the dealer is 100%!!!
In all, the purchased price is roughly $10,000 lower than MSRP (this discount includes the $3500 Rebate from Nissan,) which might seem to suggest that I got a "really good deal," when in fact it was not. Based on many comments posted here, the discounts some other people got were even greater (both in absolute $ and % term.) However, I would not say that I overpaid for this van because I have researched long and hard before and after I made the purchase. For example, Carmax list the same van with same feature (except the Crossbars) with no-haggle pricing @ $30,250. However, they have none in Los Angeles (or in southern California). However, I think I could have made the dealer cut another $500 or so (because someone in earlier post got an offer of $12,000 off MSRP.) Now, the only issue is the reliability (short and long term) of this van which only time will tell how it will hold up in comparision with other vans.
There is an additional $5000 dealer incentive that Nissan is paying dealers, but the dealers are passing on to their customers (many, not all), that is supposed to end on the 31st.
If you read on Fatwallet, many people are getting the SE for close to $15000 off MSRP, but Southern California has not been getting the same deals as on the East Coast or Midwest for some reason.
You bought a beautiful van for $30,000... Enjoy it. We all want to pay the lowest price, but overall, don't worry about the price now that it is a done deal.
I wanted the fancy SE (especially the kids wanting the skyview windows and the dual DVD screens). But my budget as a single mom needed me to stay under $20K if we wanted to eat more than Ramen noodles for dinner! LOL! So the S with drivers package (and that seat package) with the mats and splash guards did the trick. I ordered my DVD from Circuit City with the free installation (the 11" Jensen) today for $577 installed. So for under $20,000 I have a pretty good van that I hope will stay out of the dealers shop except for the maintenance.
Oh, and if you have not purchased an extended warranty and you want to, I paid $755 for the Nissan Gold Preferred 60 month/75000 mile warranty through VOB Nissan in Rockville, MD. I am in Florida and they sell the warranty without the dealer mark up which is usually 100%. They sell it at COST.
Enjoy your new rides and stay safe, Gustav is almost a 5 Hurricane! Scary.

Hope this is a good deal.
However, you can push the dealer to match the deals at other banks if you have good enough credit, I guess.
In a way, I think a fully loaded SE @ $30,500 is not bad, but I know I could have pushed for more!

So, my discount is $10,685. My question is that when we say a vehicle listed MSRP at a certain price, should it include delivery charge?
Thanks,
If NIssan wants to sell its vans, it is really going to have to attack the price. It is a nice vehicle, it just needs appropriate pricing.
I agree with your whole post. Nissan lacks the rep of Toyota and Honda, but they match or exceed their price. What was the 500 volume discount you were referring to?
We have dealers here still with 2007s. And I don't see when they are going to clear out the 2008s with the economic progressions. It is going to be a brutal sales month for Nissan (at least the minivans).
While I noticed that cars were going considerably under the 3500 discount, I did not figure out the reason why until is was basically too late unless i wanted something that was absolutely loaded.
Should be interesting to see what Honda is going to do, my understanding is that it has a lot of product left (relatively speaking).

Maybe those on the frontline have a different perspective.
Edited to add link:link to sales information
I have a dealer in my area with 4 or 5 '08s on the lot and I'd be tempted if I could get similar action to what others were getting towards the end of summer. I was also checking out the Mazda5 and they are getting pretty desperate with the pricing of that too locally... Seems if it isn't a Sienna or Odyssey and has sliding doors, the prices are being slashed.
Do you think that we can talk them down anymore? What would you think a good deal would be. Oh and we are in WA State.
Thanks!
