The Edmunds TMV is $25,139
Good deal? I'm going to see them on Friday to make the purchase. I hope they don't get me on the trade (crossing fingers).
Give the top 3 or so your cell. Use simular deals from distant dealers to beat the locals over the head with.
You can't get screwed as the best deal you can work at this time is the best deal you can work at this time.
As you have seen TMV has cost people thousands as you seem to have easily beat it with possibly little effort
A used 08 Frontier like your 09 (auto, 28000 msrp) has a trade in value of about $19000. The value of the Frontier holds up well. You are in the ballpark but you would like 22000 or less (or more on your trade)in the biggest auto armageddeon in 25 years. In any event, with a trade the winner is your best difference owed, not just price.
Good luck

Also check out the honda ridgeline awd as it is a nice piece also if you don't need full 4wd.

My trade-in is an 06 Civic LX w/36k which is in really high demand in my area so i would'nt be surprised if I got a few hundred more than what I owe on the it. I've been scoping the local honda dealerships and soliciting dealers for trade-in quotes.
I have an appointment on Friday... on a red alert SE and an additional one on Saturday for a silver SE just in case that falls through. If that should fall through I still have another local dealership willing to match the price.
If you ever have problems with the truck, goodwill is more easily obtained if you purchased where you service.
Thx
I paid 19,300 and with California's high tax and license fees 21,447 out the door .
They started out at 28000 out the door. I used Edmond's extensively new about what I should pay . I would not have been able to withstand the barrage of numbers they threw at me trying to confuse me without what I was able to lean at this site.
During my recent trips to a local pepboys for the regular oil change, tune-ups, etcs, they would find and show me markings indicating that the engine may be possibly be a junkyard motor or had been repaired or replaced with junkyard parts. The marking are mostly in discrete areas especially underneath.
The dealership has since closed, but I was told by another Dodge dealership they would honor the existing extended service warranty I bought along with the truck. I now feel I overpaid for the truck especially with the clouds of uncertainty over its long-term reliability, re-sale value (if ever) and possible expensive fixes I may have to incur.
With the dealership now closed, and since it had been quite a while since I bought the truck, is it still possible for me to go after anyone or any company for the bad sale? And if yes, who can run after?
Thank you for any info or advice you can give me
You bought a five-year-old car from a dealership that is out of business. Even if you have a motor from a salvage yard (on the word of a Pep Boys mechanic), you've had no problems.. Most used cars aren't guaranteed to have the original engine, anyway..
Now that the truck is seven years old, it likely wouldn't even have any effect on the value of the truck, either..
Long term reliability? After seven years (which is already long-term), you pretty much know if a vehicle is any good..

I kinda thought that way too. But it just sucks when you know you've been had....

I was thinking of it as a keeper, but after I found those markings, I started thinking trade-in, now i'm kinda fence sitting...

well it's that part that unsettles me... 5 yr old truck when i bought it and it already had been the motor changed or had parts from the salvage swapped into it.
I guess it's something to think about. Right now, my shaken up faith on my Nissan notwithstanding, I'm happy with it and hope to keep it much longer.
Thank you for your time and your advice.
I have no idea what kind of warranty a Dodge dealer would give you on a used Nissan, but if you have a $1000 air conditioner repair, and the dealer honors the closed dealers warranty you have an unusual situation there. If they charge $2000 and it is a 50/50 warranty you have the normal screwjob situation. You may be lucky the dealership is in business a few months from now.

Surely you jest....

As long as your warranty is being honored, I'd let it go...

I think I got a good deal.

Bought new in Oct. 1993 Been a decent truck but was ready for some spendy repairs-tranny rebuild, front end etc. Also, previous usage isn't future usage...heavy towing etc.
Purchased: 2009 Nissan Frontier SE 4cyl. auto, power, bedliner-19mpg
First measured tank was 22.1 mpg mixed driving... Solid truck and really isn't that small.
Got 4.99% from local CU, $650 CU rebate, $3000 Nissan rebate, $4500 CFC = $14,350 OTD
I purchased a 2010 LE 4x4 Frontier CC for 28,583 (msrp 32,815). Truck has LE value pkg (leather, heated/power seats, Rockford fosgate,etc) Moonroof, trailer pkg and mats. I got top dollar for my trade (based on Edmunds) as well. A very clean deal with no foolishness from my POV.
A big step up from the 2007 Ranger I traded. Frontier is very quiet for a truck - I thought that 'Jungle Gym' roof rack would make a lot of noise but it doesn't. Comfortable seats and great sound system makes for a very pleasant ride. MPG has been as much as 19.3 and as low as 18.1 (stuck in traffic detour).
All in all, I'm very pleased with the truck and the deal.
Regards - M. J. McCloskey
Based on your posting I guess I did good on price. I have seen some dealers offering more off MSRP but would they have given me what I got on my trade. Nissan was/is offering a 2K rebate in addition to the dealer discount. I figured I got a bit over 4.2K off MSRP including rebate.
I am quited pleased with the truck and my mileage is near what I was getting with the Ranger. My best yet is 20.6mpg using manual calculation, not the average MPG the display indicates. Most of my driving is rural roads and secondary highway with maybe 5% stop/go city. I take it easy on the throttle but have put the vinegar to it on ocassion. The powertrain is very smooth and responsive as well.

In the ballpark?
MSRP: $31,775
Invoice: $29,452
Negotiated price: $27,040 (after $2000 rebate)
Very pleasant experience with Wendle in Spokane, WA
It's a great truck with lots of power and is quite comfortable with styling that I consider 'handsome' if you can call a truck that.

Bill Ray Nissan in Longwood, FL. Negotiated the price over the internet.
Relatively easy buying experience using the internet department. Never used one before.

Hope this helps someone.

MSRP - $32,745; sell price - $27,981 (plus got the tow hitch and bed extender). Tax and tags were not included in that price. Is that similar to what you paid?
Sorry to hear of your unsatisfactory financing experience at the Nissan dealership. In comparison, I had a rather pleasant one when I purchased my 2010 LE CC 4x4. The price of the truck was great, the trade-in allowance was quite generous and the finance rate (at the time was OK). About a month after purchase, I saw an advertisement for auto loans at 3.99% which was about 2 percent lower than I got. I checked BoA and was able to refinance my loan at that rate and will save over 1,200.00 during the loan term. I have sterling credit and will proabably pay the truck off early. I paid no fees although I was out the first month's payment due to switching banks. Still, a wise move and you may want to consider refinancing if you can get a better rate.
Regardless of the outcome, you are sure to enjoy your new Frontier. I've had mine for nearly 10 months and have nothing but praise for the truck. It's not perfect, but a very good value with lots of nice features that the Tacoma doesn't offer.

2010 Nissan Frontier Crew SE 4x4
MSRP: $28,220
Special Price: $22,240
If you price through overstock (http://cars.overstock.com), again in the NW area, most price out around $5500 off MSRP. Any other recent purchases in that ballpark? Good shopping to you.
just took delivery on 2010 Frontier LE CC 4x4 SWB w/value pkg, mats: silver/gray leather.
Used figures to negotiate from TrueCardotcom, however, worked out deal over phone. Paid cash $26,438 (inc.$2750 customer cash) plus TTL: that's $5337 off MSRP & $3,014 below invoice and $596 over the dealer's cost.
Dealer had to get truck from another dealer 300 mi. away, installed receiver hitch & harness, & transferred cap from trade-in AND they delivered it to my house.
MSRP $31,775 , Invoice $29,452, Dealer Cost $25,942
Traded 2005 Frontier SE CC 4x4 SWB, 53K mi. (had rip in rear fender and a few scratches)
dealer gave me $13,000: I think they were generous, (was expecting $10,000)
The down side of this deal was the treatment I got after I gave them the check. Is it normal these days to only get 1 key? The truck looked like it was washed by a 10 yr. old. Got no explanation of operation, maintenance, break-in, etc. Will go back to dealer tomorrow (120 mi.) to get the hood and window deflectors they were suppose to install before delivery AND to return the delivery paper work they forgot to take out, and to get another key. If they want me to pay for the key, I'm going to the dealer down the road to buy it :shades: .
Sounds like your dealer didn't do much prepping before delivering your truck to you. BTW, my truck came with two keys and remotes so you are owed another key/remote from the dealer. I believe the owners manual states two keys/remotes depending on the model and the LE does qualify.
Good luck with your new Frontier.

Hey! Thanks for the reply, appreciate the heads up on the keys and key fob.
Sounds like you did well on your deal. Since the 2011 models are out, one would expect to get a better deal. Love the Nissan Frontier...nicely built, powerful and good looking too. Had my 2005 model since 2006, and had no problems, 'cept I really beat it up, lol.
Enjoy the road and the off-road.

I agree - the Frontier is a very handsome looking truck and the overall build quality is very good. No squeaks or rattles and the power is good to have plus it handles nicely for a truck. My sister recently purchased a 2011 Tacoma SR5 crew cab which is nice but I don't really care for the styling and you can't get a moonroof or leather seats with it. She is happy with her truck and I with mine.
Happy & safe motoring -

Got back from dealer ....don't think I'll be doing any more business with them....GGGGRRRRR! They managed to waste my whole day. 3.5 hrs travel & 4.5 hrs. waiting. However, I was able to get my 2nd set of keys w/key fob. After I insisted on going over the salesman's head, the extra set mysteriously appeared. Not quite sure why it took so long to go thru the truck and give it the cleaning it should have gotten. Unfortunately, they still managed to leave the windows dirty, and they did a poor job of drying the water off it.
Learned a lot of lessons with deal, lol. :shades:

Easiest transaction in 40 years!!
Nissan has been very quiet and has not released any information about the 2012 model.
Will the 2012 model be a complete redesign?
Any info, feedback or rumors would be be helpful. Thanks!
So far we are very pleased with the vehicle. It has all the features and capabilities we were looking for and more.
I also can't say enough about our experience with Wilsonville Nissan - everyone there was extremely courteous and they took excellent care us us. I've never liked auto shopping (ranks right up there with getting a tooth pulled) and this was truly the most pleasant and hassle free experience in purchasing a vehicle that we've ever had. Tim Wright in particular did a great job as our sales person in helping us purchase our new truck.
