Wife and I just bought an 05 SE w/leather pkg. Traded in the 99 Trooper that had 126,000 miles. It was a solid ride, but the wife really wanted another Nissan. This is our sixth Nissan. We've had a 72-510, 78-510, 91-Sentra SE-r, 96-240sx, 97-Altima and now the Armada.

I haven't done much lookin' round, but I hope this is a great place to find and pass along good information.

Yeh this forum is still pretty young but we are growing pretty quick. Its the only Armada Forum I know of. Help spread the word though and we will have a really great place before you know it.

Hi there,

I too am in Texas, just outside of Beaumont.

I'm curious if you don't mind me asking, what kind of deal did you get on your 05? Any rattles or squeaks yet?

Thanks,
Nathan

In Texas too, kinda curious. I got mine in Austin for 36,200.01 after ttl and 7 yr gold warranty, at the time I was told that was probobly the best offer. I'm hearing of people getting 'em for pretty cheap now...

Black SE with Tow Package, Bose, Foglights, and Mudflaps.

I'm up here in Denton just north of D/FW. I got mine for 36K whick was 3K under MSRP. It's a blizzard white SE with the Leather, DVD, Tow and Sunroof package. It has mats, microfilter amnd mudflaps too. I really don't think I got a great deal, but it really boiled down to "How much do you really want to pay to buy vehicle". Honestly, I could have kept the Trooper. However, buying the new Armada keeps my wife happy. And if she's happy...

We've put around 500 miles on it and I have NOT heard any unusual or iritating rattles. I'll keep my ears open for sure. Our Trooper was fairly loud, but that's what the Bose is for.

Well hopefully from everything I have read the 05's should have most of the little squeeks and rattles worked out. Nissan sent in a lot of help to get these problems taken care of. I read in a magazine last month that the reason they jumped on the rattle issues was from all the talk of it on forums and bulletin boards. Just think thanks to some of us with Titan's and Armada's made in 04 and our constant whining and complaining you may wind up with a better product. LOL

Question for '05 SE owners

I have been trying to find out if the Armada SE has carpeting in the cargo area, or if it has the textured rubber like the new SE Pathfinder? The dealer nearest me hasn't gotten any '05 SEs in yet, just LE, so he's no help.
Thanks,
Annette

Annette,
you should go into our Site Sponsors Section and ask that question to New-Nissans.com Im sure he can get the answer for that. He works at a dealership and should know.

Annette,

My 05 SE has carpeting in the cargo area behind the 3rd row. On top of the carpet is an Armada fabric mat. On top of the fabric mat is a rubber mat. To top it off, the cargo net lays on top of the rubber mat fixed by hooks that poke through holes at the four corners of the mats. Hope this answers your question.

---------------- Cargo net (removable)
---------------- Rubber mat (removable)
---------------- Armada fabric mat like up front (removable)
************* Base cargo area is carpet (Permanent)
