What vehicle has more bang for the buck with all options included/or base model with no options.

To me SVT has the advantage...

Well the SVT will have to take the back seat with me . The SE-R is hella nicer and humm is the SVT even 4door?? dont remember, but ill give the SVT this much, i like the interior much more then the SE-R.

Red interior dosnt cut it for me. i like the yello in the pre-production model more, the SVT looks like a small car, dont know dementions, but dont look like it will be comfortable clown car'in.

So my chose ofcorse is the SE-R :flash: :flash: :jump:

I don't know about the SVT too much but I don't have any regrets getting my Spec-V. It looks good, rides nice and it wasn't as expensive as an Integ. One thing that you have to remember though is that imports cost more than domestics with all the same equipment, on the other hand they retain their value WAY better than domestics.

Don't look at a list of options as if on paper and you can tailor the options unless you're ordering the car. You have to look at the majority of the build (the cars the company puts out). My Spec-V has ABS and folding rear seat. I just like Nissan over Ford. And also the Spec-V has helical limited slip differential, which is also in the Type-R and if its good enough for the Type-R its good enough for me. :flash:

Sticker was 17,636 but I paid only 500 over invoice because I brought my last Sentra from them. Plus they used a 500 rebate I don't think was on the Spec-V's. The final price with taxes, tags, doc and the 3.5 g's I owed on my trade a little over 20.

Yea I financed through NMAC (Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.) @ 8.9% 60 mos., $500 and I'm a little over 400. I was surprised to get approved through NMAC by myself without a cosigner. :smoker2: :smoker2:

Bad credit

Question on the trade in...

Did your trade in value not go over what you owed on the vehicle...
For Example - trade in value=5000, what you owe=3000, so 2000
goes into the new vehicle.

My payments can't be over $300 a month so here's my plan.

1.Talk about how much they will take on my trade in First.
2.Then talk about what I can get bottom dollar for the new car without worrying about the trade in.
3.Ignore any effort from the salesman to try to "get my payments down" nonsense.

www.edmunds.com has great info on what you the consumer needs to know about buying a vehicle.

Actually I owed 9Gs on my car and it was appraised at 6. I used to sell cars so I know how to haggle well. What kind of trade do you have? Go to Kelly and be honest when seeing what its worth and then subtract about 500 dollars.

Cool...

It says my truck is worth around 5,100 but everyone tells me I will only get half of that. But that's outrageous.

Anyway, I have to sell my bike before I can look at the new cars.

Thanks,
