I traded my 2001 4x2 XE lease in last weekend.

They gave me $14,500 for it . . .

Plus 1.9% financing . . .

Plus $1500 rebate . . .

Payments on this purchase are the same as my lease was . . .

Plus, thanks to Marlboro Nissan's warranty specials, I was able to have the dealership look up the current extended warranty specials on the internet, and match it! So I got my 72-month/100,000 mile warranty rolled into the purchase, at 1.9% fininacing (beats paying 8% on my credit cards) . . .

Now, I'm getting ready to go up and have my new Long Trails put on. Damn thing came with Grabbers, but I put up a fuss and told 'em it was a deal-breaker: New tires or I walk.

What the hell, not like it was a big thing to them, but it made me feel even better about the deal . . .

Jesus, man! I'm goin' blind. Stop using those damn things!

I hope if I ever sell my truck that I get more than I owe on it. I haven't hit 25,000 miles yet, zero trips to the dealer except for regular maintenance, and it's just plain purty.

Even if the little dohickey on the floor that holds the mat in place did snap off... frown

I guess that makes a difference... an '01 4x4 5spd with over 50k miles and no carpet would probably go for a little less... but that's ok... my truck now kicks ass! laugh

Where is gas 'only' $1.40 a gallon? Send some this way! I currently pay $1.65, and that could buy a lot of potatoes ... eek

Bet you its cheaper in Corpus.

When I lived down there, the national news was alwasys saying what the lowest gas price was in the country. We always had them beat from $.05 to $.10, sometimes even more. So, if you paid $1.28 in Austin, I bet it's probably $1.23 at most.

Can I ask what you do that requires driving 160+ miles per day
A lot of people do long commutes, My wife for instance was commuting in the Xterra, 51 miles each way every day. was filling up the X 3 or more times a week.

we got smart and moved closer to her work

BTW, My X will be 4 years old in Feb. It has just over 90k miles.

What a joke! My 1991 Toyota 4x4 pick up, long bed, reg. cab, 5 speed, with 400,000 kms. was just written off. State Farm gave me $6600 CDN. Although I loved it, who knows how many more repairs would have been needed? Screw the dealers, sell privately. mad

LOL, somehting i just learned from the jeep guys, did you know that any Rollover is a total...

two guys I know rolled their jeeps(one TJ one cherokee) slowly, insurance totaled them, then they took the money the insurance paid them and bought the trucks back...

one guy now has a 2000 TJ paid for, and the money left over allowe dhim to buy a older honda for his commute.

not that I'm suggesting anyone roll their X, but it is interesting

cbx,
I know what you mean.
Although I did visit the local Honda place to check on a new Accord for the wife, they offered me 14k on a trade...I was expecting something more like 12k.
I've been advertising for a few weeks now at 14900 and haven't had any bites...I don't get it, especially when all of the other trucks around have 2x the mileage for 2-3grand more...
I guess people would rather just buy from a stealership and pay a few grand more, knowing the dealer did nothing to improve the condition of the vehicle outside of a wash and carpet cleaning :rolleyes: . Heh.
Anyway, if I can't sell it, I'll just keep the thing...I think the used market has been soft for a few years since we've had the 0.whatever% financing...people don't want to spend that much on a used vehicle when their payments look about the same on a new one.

I sell New and Used Nissans for a living. I read these post were everyone is telling us what they got for trade in value.....Well that is only half of the story. If a vehicle is worth $10,000 and they got $11,000 on trade in, it only means they paided about $1,000 too much for the new ride. Dealers can always adjust the trade in and new vehicle numbers to appeal to different buyers. I a customer is trying to buy a different vehicle and trying to get it for little or no profit to the dealer, the dealer will usually try to make up the lost profit by offering a lower trade in amount. I have to agree with the first post...try to sell your vehicle first to get more money for it. Just for the record. I sold my 95 Kingcab 4x4 SE(old style truck) with 125,000 miles on it for $7,000 and bought a 00 Xterra with 125,000 miles on it for only $8,500. I went up 5 yrs for only $1,500.

Wanna sell a car?

http://www.autotrader.com

$30 and the ad stays until you sell your vehicle (just have to edit it every 30 days - add a space, delete it back out & save at a minimum).

Had a '90 240sx w/120K miles on it. Sold it for high blue book in 4 days - had people calling me from out of state! (should have asked more for more) Secret? Clean the hell out of your vehicle, take tons of pictures (I had about 30) and link to them from your AutoTrader ad.

Ups your chances over dealing with local methods. I advertised in local classifieds, parked it in the local "swap lot", etc. and got nothing - put it on AutoTrader and it was gone in less than two weeks.

The more detailed the ad, the better too - it all counts.

Good luck!

I sold on Autotrader too. Both a 2000 Nissan Xterra 4x4 and a 2000 VW Jetta GLS with WAAAAAYYY too many miles. Both times, had the cars around a year, and got what I owed, plus some.

I am going to be selling my wife's 1999 Honda Accord pretty soon, and I plan on using autotrader again. It is a 1999 LX with leather, sunroof, power everything and 53,000 miles. I am looking for 11-12K on it. (shameless plug)

Got 11,300 in trade for my 01 XE 4x4 P/S/U with 66500 on it. It had numerous dings/dents, and lots of backwoods pin striping. It needed new tires, brakes, rotors, and was due for new belts I believe. Blue book trade in value was only $9100…
