Hey all, im new to the forums but i'm happy i found them. I'm a big Nissan fan, i had a 93 240sx that i beat the hell out of. I loved that car! I have been looking for a Nissan Frontier for about 2 months now. I been riding bikes since i was a kid so its primarily used to transporting my dirt bike/motorcycles back and forth but of coarse i will be using it for other reasons. I am in no rush but i think i found a decent deal. I like to do my homework before  actually buy though so i want to run this buy you.

It's a 2006 Frontier SE Crew Cab, 4x4, 6 speed with 31,000 miles. The truck itself looks mint. They were originally asking $21,000 but i got it down to $16,000. This $16,000 is fter my $2,000 down and after the $2,500 they are giving me for my Civic (which is in awful condition, it has a crack in the manifold, needs a new cat, windows get stuck so its wicked loud on the highway, needs a CV joint and boot, it keeps going out of alignment, no AC). So im thinking thats a good trade in for what needs to be done. However, im pretty sure i can get them to actually take more off the cost of the truck. When you add up my 2 grand and 2500 for the truck they really aint taking much off.

EDIT: I confirmed its $16,900 for the truck AFTER $2,500 trade in for car but before any money down. So if i put $2000 down that brings it down to $14,900, maybe lower based on any new info i learn tonight heh.

I have been browsing the web and i have seen these things range from $14,000 up to $22,000 so i wanted to ask here and get some opinions. ANything else i should be aware of with this truck? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I did check around for new ones but i wasnt getting anything lower than $21,000 area. They are going for around $24,000-$26,000 for the SE with 4x4. I ended up grabbing the 06 i was looking at. I asked around and did some more homework and it worked out to be a good price. I put down another $2,600 which brought the $16,999 down to $14,399. They tacked on some BS "dealer docking fee" of $495 and i rolled in the taxes so i neded up financing $15,900ish at %6.25 for 6 years so my payments are only $269 a month which i sperfect for my situations.

I know some people don't like doing the 6 year thing, but you know what, im in the middle of a hiring process for a good company. I had my 2nd interview and if i get hired paying the thing off won't be a problem but in the meantime this works for me.

Looks like im an official new member of these forums now!
