INTERESTING.

Isn't that...backward?

The Titan is practically being GIVEN away (as in you can get a $35k truck for $18k without much effort). The Versa, contrarily, is selling like hotcakes.

Assuming this raises the Titan's prices back up to near MSRP, I'd say this is a BAD thing for potential buyers (maybe still good for Nissan, though). Do you want one of the best 1/2-ton trucks on the market for cheap, or do you want an extra car with your full-price pickup? For me, it's the former. The Versa looses value once it leaves the lot, but I guess you could still recover some of the truck's value. Can you get $15k out of it, though?

As with everything else, including the Titan (excluding rare collector cars, obviously).

Right, wasn't picking the Versa out as unique in that respect. I just meant that the free car you're getting can't be resold for it's full value.

would you care if you can resell it for less than its real value, when you got the car for free? say you sell it for 12k instead of 15k would you really care about that 3k when you didnt spend aynthing on it

Because I'm comparing the value of the free Versa with the alternative low cost of the Titan. Which way do you come out ahead? I'm assuming that if the dealership is giving away a second car with the Titan purchase, you're no longer getting it for the super-super-ultra low costs you can normally get a Titan for right now. So...if you can't resell the Versa for what you would have saved on the Titan alone, you're not gaining anything. Unless of course you're in the market for both a full size pickup and a subcompact...then you win big.

I wish they offered that deal when I bought my Armada ..

[Vahagn23]

I dont see any special deals like this on the NISSANUSA.com website, but I read somewhere online, that this works by rebates. You get like 5k rebate for versa and 7k for the Titan so instead of the rebate, you get the V.

[AZhitman]

^ Correct.

And, you can't combine any other deals, and you basically pay MSRP.

Last I checked on the Titans, you could get one for about half of MSRP, which would mean you're saving roughly the cost of a base Versa.

You still have to pay tax, title, license, doc fees and registration on the Versa, which totals well over $2K.

Exactly. That's what I was trying to say.
