FYI. Dealers are have about $750 in hold back on these vehicles, so you can buy them at or below invoice which is readily available at edmunds.com
I traded a 2004 Explorer XLT that they over allowed me on so in reality the purchase price was @ $300 under Invoice.

Buffalo -

I bought my SE at Santa Maria Nissan. I have the salesmans business card, but not in front of me at the moment. If you want more details or the guys name, feel free to email me.

FWIW, I used a buying technique I read about on the board; which was to query each fleet dealer for a bid. When I got to Santa Maria Nissan they had a firm quote on the phone which was $300 dollars above invoice. I don't live near any Nissan dealerships so shopping for the X would have been a hassle otherwise.

The first dealer wouldn't sell for less than $28,000 as they added all kinds of useless things on top of the sticker. Went to another dealer, bought literally the same Xterra through them off of the other dealer's lot. Needless to say, the first dealer wasn't too happy... hehe

Hi guys NEWBIE here just got the new 05 x for my wife.It is Avalanche white with Steel/Graphite cloth.It is the S Model auto trans with the step rails and a hood protector they threw in and installed and of course all the other basics.Sticker price 24,139.00 + CA. Tax and License I paid 22,500.00 out the door cash.I purchased it at Douglas Nissan Of Orange there pretty good at dealing with you not like other dealers i went to that wouldnt budge.The only bad thing was the wait it took them 4 hours to find the X 05 my wife wanted since they didnt have the white in stock they some how got it from another dealer and brought it in on a flat bed truck when i drove out it only had 7 miles. Over all everything was great and my wife loves it she says it has balls. I dont drive it much since i purchased it for her and dont want to fall in love with it and take it away, it sure is nice and seems way bigger then the old ones. I find everyone looking at us while driveing thats never happen to me on a stock car it usually takes a few grand of extras to get atention.Anyhow dont know if i got a good deal seemed good enough for me since all other less powerful suvs in its class cost way more.

Hi guys, I just bought my 05 night armor offroad xterra and I'm loving it. Mine had all options except the rockford fosgate system and satelite radio. I paid $25,400 drive out. I was driving a 00 toyota celica so this is a big difference for me. So I'm very happy with the purchase.
