  Written by: phin13 on Sep 12, 2011 8:31:34 AM

  Nissan ended up not paying for mine. The dealership seemed to support me, but when corporate started their "investigation" they decided it was normal wear & tear. at 46,000 miles - ridiculous. It seems Nissan WILL NOT admit this issue, and although I love my Xterra - if the clutch goes again I am selling the ********. By the way I am in California too. Good luck to you!

  I also drove the Xterra and FJ on the same day and went with the Xterra for the same reasons. I was hoping for more from Toyota on this vehicle. As the previous owner of a 1988 4Runner I was excited to see what the FJ had to offer. The old 4Runner was a beast but the FJ just comes up as soft compared to it. People talk about the "presence" ... Read More

  Greetings Loren. This truck's lease program varies depending upon how long you lease it for and how many miles per year you are allowed to drive it. For now I will assume that you are interested in a typical 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. If you were to lease a 2006 Nissan Xterra Off Road 4WD through Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp. for 36 months with 15,000 miles per ... Read More

  2006 Xterra Offroad, MSRP 28325 plus step rails, Paid 24575 after Nissan 1000 rebate plus 289 sealant plus 389 dealer prep fee. First tank of gas yielded 17.108 mpg -- mix of city, highway -- more city than highway -- that matches Consumer Reports all around figure. So far it is a mighty fine vehicle. Engine is very peppy, it would be very tempting to use that pep. Do so and ... Read More

  Greetings dave85. This truck's lease program varies depending upon how long you lease it for and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it.

  I have some thoughts, went through exactly the same scenario with Nissan, same lease price. Told the sales person that their price was out of line, especially since she wanted to put me in a pathfinder for $399/month. I have never owned an XTerra, but can only assume that Nissan does not think much of the residual on this truck. For $465 I can do a lot better than a $28,000 ... Read More

  Hello fcarl1 - I've dealt with Mossy, Champion and Sterling McCall so far. Of the three, Sterling McCall appears to be best. I'm going to have to order my vehicle which I think limits my ability to deal. Sterling McCall has made a preliminary offer @ invoice. There are no incentives and rebates on the 06's but I imagine there must be a sizable holdback. I'm looking to hit $500 below ... Read More

• More Mainstream but Still Extreme

  Written by: steve_ on Nov 30, 2005 2:42:07 PM

  "It's not only faster than before, it sounds more refined and has better throttle response. Just nudge the gas and this Xterra jumps off the line. Midrange torque is a little soft, but swing past 4,000 rpm and the engine wakes up with another surge of power that continues right up to the 6,000-rpm shift point."

  Pricing is net of rebates - November is just around the corner; rebates could increase. More than one dealer told me that Nissan is not trying to push 2006 onto dealers; they will start selling 2006 to any dealers who have cleared (or just about cleared) 2005s. My problem is that I have a 1999.5 Pathfinder to sell before I can take advantage of any deal on the Xterra; dealers can't ... Read More

  My thinking is this: there ARE a lot of Xterras out here (Denver). The pricing on most 2006 Nissans is out, (up a few hundred MSRP average), the advertising is now showing the 2006 cars (selectively), the Bottom Line Promo ads seem to be gone here at least. SO...I do think at least a few hundred $ have to be added to the $1k now offered, no matter what they call ... Read More

I'm interested in ordering one because you cannot otherwise find a 6 speed, 4x4 Off Road with SABs and no other options. Does anyone know when Nissan will stop taking orders for the '05s?

  I've loved driving my 2002 Xterra SC for the last three years (and had another before that). Sure it eats a little gas, but all round performance and versatility is top grade. (lacking in power? Try the SC five speed... that'll change your mind) So I was pretty excited about upgrading this year to the 2005 and went for a couple of test rides. Now I'm really bummed. PROS: Nice power ...
