Hello,

I'm fixing to buy an 04 Armada 4x4 SE-Off Road w/ sunroof and big tow. A dealer (in Northern VA) has given me an "internet price" and was wondering if others have been able to negotiate from that "internet price" (with $2000 rebate from Nissan) they give? Is it totally off base to try to get another $1000-$1500 off the price they quote you?

Also, this particular Armada was built in Jan. 04, was a dealer transfer and has been on their lot since late Sept. The center console is hanging, has some scratches on interior pieces and on the exterior door and has 300+ on the odometer. The salesperson reassured me they would be corrected when we buy. For the shape it is in, should I be able to get a better deal?

Thanks...

Would be easier to comment if we knew what the bottom line price was that they're asking -- but yes, you should be able to get a serious deal on this truck based on what you've told us. That dealer has no chance of moving that Armada without significantly reducing the price -- if he won't -- I would move on, or get an '05.

I agree with Eightman. It sounds like it's a few years old. Nobody should pay for a new vehicle and receive it in such a condition, especially concidering how cheap used ones are (a fully decked out used LE is selling in my town for around $28,000... damn I wish I woulda waited).

The guy is trying to sell it at $35844 + fees. I was thinking around $32500 w/ 7/100 extension on the warranty. Does that offer sound ridiculous ?

Thanks again.

I got mine for $36,200.01 (yes, one penny. The poor sales lady tried for 30 minutes to remove that penny. Eventually, she taped a penny to my check, lmao), SE, Bose, Tow, and 7 yr/75,000 mile warranty, including TT&L. Hope this helps, I don't want to give an opinion because I don't know what a good deal is, really. Hasn't the price dropped on the Armadas? They seemed a bit cheaper at my dealer last time I went in for an oil change.

A dealership in Houston is advertising $7500 off 04's. Don't know what trim levels they have. I got mine $6000 below msrp 6 months ago. (actually $3000 plus they gave retail for my trade which was $3000 over trade value)

I would be leary of a Jan 04' build that is still on the lot. They didn't start getting some of their fixes into the assembly line until May.

Talked with a dealer about used '04s. They are able to purchase SE's for $29k at auction, very few LE's but those are around $32k.

$35k is steep for an SE. Kelley blue book doesn't list the '04 ARmada in their used car pricing. Found one other guide that put an 04 LE at around $37k.

Saw an LE one up in my neck of the woods (Seattle) on cars.com for about the same.

Could you tell me which houston dealership is offering $7500 off deal?
I am not in a hurry to get the suv but dont want to miss out on deals. Been looking at the qx, durango, armada. test drove both the qa and armada but not durango.

Thanks

I just picked up an 04' SE with Big tow, for $29,500. Check out carsdirect.com. They can get any thing that matches your criteria, and deleiver it to you local dealer. Takes out the middle man. i was able to tell my dealer the price, and they were able to match it. Don't pay any more then $30K for it, or you might regret it after looking around.

Thanks for the responses!

Hopefully we'll be driving home in an Armada this weekend.

'05 price offered

i was offered 44250 for a fully loaded LE 4wd. Do you guys think i can do better?

$7500 off '04 is pretty nice but i am a bit weary of the problems with the brakes and the creaking gremlins

DO NOT use your primary email address with carsdirect .com as they sell it to spammers. I know from experience! Since I got a quote from them I have been swamped with spam and if you look under the hood at the message source they all have something to do carsdirect. By the way I beat their quote by $700 back in April.

Don't bargain off of MSRP

Work on trying to get below Invoice. One of the site sponsers sells most Nissans for $500 UNDER invoice...

 

[OffRoadinArmada]

Take my advice and get a used one!! I should have waited. For 1K more than I spent on mine, there's an LE in town with EVERY SINGLE OPTION. It's a nice feeling to drive a new vehicle and all, but I' d trade it all for a topped out Armada for the same price.

 

[Pwrl3ss]

Well, I got a Galaxy 4x4 SE Off-Road with the sunroof pkg, big tow, filter, floor/cargo mats, rear mud guards and 3 years of oil changes for $35300 after rebate. This was not the same one I was intially working on and doesn't have the problems the first one had .

I feel pretty good about the price; it was $700+ below invoice. The dealer said they were making no money on it and I was tapping into his holdback: yeah right!

I did look around for used Armadas and found an LE with everything and 11k miles for $37888. But I've never had a good experience with used cars and for that much, I rather go with a new vehicle.

I have only a couple of problems with it though :

1. I can't seem to get my wife to let me drive it.
2. And when I do get the chance, I can't seem to keep my foot from flooring it.


Thanks for the help!
