Thoughts? Suggestions??

The automakers know all too well that impulse buyers are what made the auto industry. Shiny show room floors, use of mirrors, bright colors, etc., etc.. NOT ME. I really like the Titan but will NOT allow myself to be "conned." Like I said at the start here, the lots are full, so the laws of supply/demand are on our side. So USE it to your advantage. The 05's are already here, so dealers MUST "deal."

joekrz,
'05 Titans are not on any lots around here in So Cal and Nissan will likely send out a news clipping when they release the first one from the Canton assembly line. You don't sound like an impulse buyer to me since it appears you've shopped for deals at a number of places. Are those invoice price offers before or after applying the current $1500 rebate. If those offers are before applying the rebate, then they sound pretty good to me. If you want to battle for an even lower price then good luck to you. There are lots of good trucks out there, but the Titan has made me very happy by performing well and more than holding its own when I use it for work. If you get a Titan, make sure you check out the FAQ sticky (Item #6) about things to check before taking delivery. I hope you end up with a good deal on a truck that will fit your needs and make you happy.
