Well for about 3 hours today I had an 05. Then I had to take it back due to Nissan having a 'No Sale' order on the Nevada Tow Package. I pick her up again most likely on Tuesday.

4x4 OR in Night Armor (With the locker!! )
Auto Trans, Rockford Fossgate Audio, Nevada Tow Package and Auto Dimming mirror were the only options on her.

I looked at her at Pinnicle Nissan, but the salesman up there was a real dick and they only offered me $7300 on my trade. So I called the guy I've been working with at Brown & Brown and he got it for me at Invoice $27,084. Less $1000 rebate, they gave me $8k on mine which wasn't to bad as blue book trade in value is only $6500.

Can't wait to take her out to test her out.

When I bought mine Thursday, they yanked the hitch off while I was doing the paper work. Think it took less than half an hour. They should be able to get it to you fairly early Monday a.m.

They won't sell it without the hitch on, I suggested that too. But I do actually want the hitch, my old hitch saved my ass when some idiot rear ended me. He said Nissan will have more info for them on Tuesday.

RiNkY congrats on the 05 sorry to hear about having to take it back but tuesday is not to far off. Got the locker nice. I was looking to by a used X I went to Pinnicle nissan too they are a bounch of dicks the one sales man called my wifes cell phone and we told him we where shopping around just seeing what else was out thier hey got pissed told her thanks for wasting his time and hung up on her. Wrong thing to do she called back remead him and his manager a new one.We went to peoria nissan with a personal referal to see Chris a best friend of one the people I work with Chris is the sales manager. He was great gave me all the number straight out no bullshit the best deal's he could get me. To bad he didn't have something in stock for the price range we needed to be in. Ended up buying mine at midway nissan,great thing was Chris (peoria nissan)had told me so much I new exactly what could be done.

Congrats Rinky. Guess I go visit Peoria Nissan on Monday to have them take off the hitch. Sure wish Nissan could have told me rather finding out about it here. Oh well, safety first.

Whats wrong with the hitch on the 05's?

Nissan stamped a 'No Sale' order on it as of Thursday or Friday due to there being a bad weld. I guess they will be recalling them, but at the moment they are deciding what to do.

I wouldn't have them take it off until the recall came (which they'll replace it at that time I'd guess). I just wouldn't tow anything in the mean time.

Peoria Nissan wouldn't let me take my new X without yanking the bumper; liability issues if they let you take it, you use it and something evil happens.

Had no intentions of using the tow hitch, but something pretty serious must have happened for them to put a freeze like this on it. We'll see what happens, hopefully I get my X by the end of the week and be able to do something with it next Sunday. Batchelor party next Saturday for a friend, so that rules Saturday out.

Hard to understand, Rinky, why your dealer won't just take it off; Peoria told me there was a recall, that they didn't know why or what the resolution would be, and then said, "No problem, it'll only take us a little while to yank it and it'll probably be done beore you finish the paper work." No suggestion at all that I couldn't take the X. Said they'd notify when the new hitch was ready.

Cool Roger! Can't wait to get these locked up beasts a playn'! One word of thought though. Take the time to remove that stupid bracket that holds the plug on the hitch. I ripped mine nearly off and busted up the plug pretty good. Do I hear mod?

I'll update ya once the dealership updates me. Also gotta verify with my bank that the extra $1500 above what they approved me for isn't a problem, which I don't expect it to be.

Bank have hosed me. They won't finance because Lindsay just switched jobs, glad I didn't walk out of the dealership with it on Saturday. If I don't get another loan figured out I might be screwed

Damn! Sorry to hear that. Have you considered a Federal Credit union? Mine is SunWest FCU. Tell them I sent you and they'll give me money.

Best of luck to you chap.

That's quite funny because we bank with exactly the same place - Sunwest FCU and they have always come through for us before. I tried reapplying on my own, rather than having Lindsay on there, but my income wasn't sufficient.

I swear I'm not destined to get this damn X! lol. It's like a higher power is putting every obstical in my way.

Rinky, your not screwed. You still have a good running vehicle. You just can't get what you want even though right now you have what you need.

Huh. I guess they are getting a little more stringent on loans now.

Good luck Rog.

Well it looks like we'll be waiting another 2½ months, so that puts us into the new year and cancels out the tax savings I was hoping to get. So I'll be looking at an 06 around Feb / March now. I guess that has its benefits, being a year newer and all! Doesn't make me feel any happier right now tho, that Night Armor one was lovely

Might try and sell mine privately too, rather than taking as big a hit on the trade in. Brown & Brown were offering $8k, but I figure with the Leather etc and the condition its in I should be able to get around $10k at least.

How many miles are on it? I guessed between 60,000-75,000. KBB trade in would only be between 6500-7500, privately you should try for 10,000 because most likely a dealership won't give you that much for it. Even though they would sell it for 16900 if they gave you 6500 :rolleyes:

So you did get the locker after swearing up and down you wouldn't Good choice! Now...when is the 5" lift going on?

I swore up and down I wouldn't get an Auto and that one was an Auto too!

May not have lost it quite yet. There is still some hope it might be on my driveway, depending on what the hell they do with this hitch recall. I say pull the damn hitch off and knock the $440 or whatever from the price myself. I'll buy a $300 Uhaul hitch later if I want one. Never used the hitch on mine anyway, there was that time it saved my ass tho when the Cavalier rear ended me.

I'm in the process now of trying to get Peoria to skip getting me the replacment hitch and giving me Parts Dept. credit instead. Supposed to let me know by Wednesday. At least they're considering it. So far been very happy with Peoria.

Does lindsay know about this?



*sorry, I know I've been wallowing in the bottom of the humor bucket lately. But my knee hurts and I haven't been anywhere, I'll try and behave

shoulda got the 4x2

edit: wait I think I messed up
