Congratulations on your new SUV! Looks great.

I used to own a 240SX SE edition as well, with the cool heads-up display Alas the trunk space was nil, so I had to move as well.

I just purchased a car this weekend as well for my wife. The dealer had an astoundingly good price on it, and I did some serious price searches on the web and calling around, and could find NO deal as good as this.

Also, the previous owner of the car had left his contact information in the car by way of some maintenance paperwork. I called the previous owner, who had purchased it brand new, and verified with him that the car was in pristine condition, was babied, and had never been in an accident. He decided to trade it in for a different vehicle, and told me that the car is a great buy.

As a result of this research, I decided NOT to haggle with the dealer. I really had no basis to ask for a discount, as the price was far below KBB and Edmund's values, and thousands less than similar vehicles in private sales and other dealers.

My wife's new car is now being prepped at the dealer while I'm away on a trip. I will pick it up when I return, in pristine new condition
