The price is just a typo- missing a zero.

good deals have to be out there.

and I'll pm the ad tomorrow, maybe it's a take over payments.

it looks like the regular price should be at least 25k plus....

70000 miles in 3 years? I think there's a chance that price is right.

Nissan is now offering "guaranteed pricing" of $100 BELOW invoice for referred friends/family members of employees on any purchase of a new Titan, Armada, Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, or Quest.

Gettin' desperate to move them shits! And they're giving $250 cash to the employee that does the referring!

Buying a truck right now is going to get you a great deal, but I wouldn't do it unless you're got somewhere to park it and use it only as a utility vehicle. In which case, get a used diesel truck... diesel fuel can sit a lot longer in the tank than gas, and even though it's more expensive the mileage is tons better, even on an older used truck.

Yup. I just wish they still made compact diesel trucks like they did in the 70s.

A Tacoma pickup w/ a 3.0L turbo diesel 4-cylinder motor would be an awesome truck. Someone call Toyota and get them on it!
