Hello all, I've been a long time follower of this site and learning from a lot of you which has helped me make my decision. I have a question about a potential deal that I could make on Monday. I went and test drove a "demo" truck with 1,700 miles on it.
It's a 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve (diesel), with an MSRP of $58,880. The only option that it does not have is the Blindside option and it's a 4x2. I looked at the build date and it showed Jan 2016. It has a couple of minor scratches, but in overall excellent condition (as one would expect). He said the warranty has been upgraded to the 5 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty on ALL XD's that are NEW (not sure if that's true or not).
I was able to negotiate the price down to $45000 out the door. I think it's a good deal, but my main concern about the truck was that during my test drive, the truck had a hard shift when trying to get up to speed. It drove smoothly once I got up to speed or slowed down. I did test drive another truck and it was smoother than the one I'm looking at, but was a lower trim. I read that some have had reflashes done which had helped fix the transmission shifting issues. Is that true too? Anyways, I truly want a PRO4X, because of the hill descent, better shocks, and 4x4 option. Tomorrow I am going see a PRO4X and try to get the same deal if possible. If I can make the same deal, I am going to buy it.
My main question goes back to the Platinum Reserve. Do you think $45000 out the door is a good price? Secondly, should I chance it with the transmission shifting issues? Any opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for helping me make my decision.
On a positive note, I was highly impressed with this truck. My dad owns a 2015 GMC 2500 HD LTZ 6.7, and even he was impressed with what this truck had to offer. Thanks again!
