I can imagine BOGO coupon codes for cars now

wow, my car is in the shop after an accident this weekend. Won't find out what the repair costs will be or if my insurance will total it until at least Wednesday...doubt any will be left at that point! I'm only 80 miles up the road from Lexington here in Cincinnati. Local dealers are only offering about 6-7k off sticker from what they show on their websites.

"Why would you buy this overpriced Japanese car that is statistically shown to have no higher reliability than its domestic counterparts? I only buy American cars."

/sorry, but it was obligatory.

I don't understand why I'm getting red. It's not a percent-off deal. It's a fixed-amount deal. Nobody is going to walk onto a car lot and buy a $50k car for $30k. Is it a good deal? Sure! Is it 40% off? Only in certain situations.

Alan, the one I bought was 40% off. As for whether all the trucks, SUVs and vans are 40% off at higher price points, I cannot verify, because i did not look at those. All one has to do, at least in Lex. , is call Glenn Nissan and ask if the higher priced models are the same % off.
It's a great deal that I'm sure is either going on in other areas, or soon to happen, as Nissan wants to seemingly clear out the 08's rapidly in the current environment the car mfg and dealers find themselves in.
BTW, I did not give you a neg.

Oh, I know you didn't red me, and I don't want you to think I'm attacking you.

My local deal in Massachusetts is doing this sale too

need to bring back the hardbodies! a hybrid hardbody I would buy!

I gave green on this, but I went to consumer reports and the Quest has a black circle for predicted reliability. Japanese or not, that is worse than most domestics and way worse than Honda and Toyota vans, the two best. Also fuel economy is a half black circle. Great price, but looks like many of them have drivetrain and electrical system problems by three years old.

The owners that filed reviews were way happier with the van than the editors of edumunds. Of course anyone can file an internet review even if they don't own the van, even if they sell the van. It's not like you have to show ID. Consumer reports reliability data comes from owners who also subscribe to consumer reports and bother to fill out their long and tedious survey. I'd trust that over someone who just fills out an internet form.
