$26,920

That's about $400 over invoice. Seems good considering the results of my seraches here... Would like some thoughts on whether I should get it or wait for an '05?

For my wife... We'll see when she drives it on Saturday.

 

you are getting an '04 w/navi for $26.9k?? Man, that is a good deal, i wish i could get a deal like that...I would pick it up in a heartbeat!

I'm assuming brand new, right?

 

yeh, brand new... Arctic Blue. Not sure how wifey will feel about the color.

We'll probably go drive it tomorrow.

 

artic blue is the best color. You have no idea how many compliments I have gotten on that color. People always ask what color of blue it is.

Everyone loves it.

 

That is a good price. Especially hearing guys who are getting quotes fpr the 2004's at $27,500 and up.

Now with the 2005's coming out, I think it depends on whether or not your you want XM Satellite radio, power passenger seat, illuminated buttons on the steering wheel and the heated outside mirrors. I would have liked to have gotten the heated mirrors, but can do with out them. There is an expected price increase for the 2005's and I think the may charge even more for the 5AT over the 6MT. So if you don't really need the new 2005 additions, definitely get the 2004.

I'm sure your wife will love the interior of the car, definitely have the salesman go over the functions of the Nav system

 

Yeah... I think she'll like it. However, she likes pretty much anything I show her.

The problem we're running in to is we need more than two doors on a car. And there's no way I'm parting with my Infiniti.

She drives an Alero which I bought back in late 2000 during grad school. It's been fine up until the last 18 months or so. Fuel and coolant leaks. It's gotten ugly.

We want to start a family, so the desire to get more than two doors on a car is what is driving this. She likes the idea of a SUV; large grocery getter, etc... I could really care less as long as it doesn't break my wallet. SUVs are nice, but everything in the 30K range is kind of... well BLAH. We like the Murano, but it's hard to get one even close to 30K with all the toys on it.

The TSX seems to carry quite a few of the features she wants: heated seats, moonroof, smooth ride, etc... It's obviously not an SUV, but as far as sedans go, this one is priced right.

We'll see how it goes.
