Hello Everyone.
I've been a Ford owner all my life and the current lease on my 2003 Ford Expedition will end in October/05. I'm looking at getting either another Expedition, a Durango, or an Armada
. The Armada is by far the most expensive of the three but I'm impressed by the powertrain, awesome looks, and interior features. I've been doing quite a bit of reading on this forum (a lot of great info here) and I have a few questions.
I'm concerned about the fit and finish of the Armada because squeeks and rattles drive me nuts! It seems that these problems were more prominent in the 04 model. Was there a noticable improvement in build quality on the 05's? Does anyone have any advanced info on the 06 models yet (ie. new features, changes, etc.)?
I'm not worried about the brake issue as they will have been corrected long before I get my new vehicle.
I've heard rumors that Nissan replacement parts are much more expensive than Ford and/or Chrysler. Is this true?
Can anyone tell me how Nissan service compares to other OEM's? My current Ford dealer bends over backwards to ensure I'm happy. There is only one Nissan dealer in my area so the lack of other Nissan dealer competition also has me a bit concerned.
Any information that you can provide would be appreciated.
This is a great site!
