2007 King Cab XE 4x2 with extras, Seattle area

[DavidC]

Has a Truxedo Tonneau Cover, Factory Chrome Grille, Armada front air dam

Bought at the end of July 2007 so it has more of the three year factory warranty than other 2007's that may have been bought as early as fall of 2006.

It has an extended power train warranty to 100,000 miles (time not extended however, only useful if you'll put a lot of miles on the truck)

Original Owner, Non-smoker, No paint work or accidents, clear Title.

All Factory Service done at Nissan dealers & have all records, last service done with Mobil 1 Truck & SUV synthetic oil, extra services such as tire rotation have been done.

Most are freeway miles as my commute is 80% freeway and not in stop and go traffic.

Extras: Splash guards, floor mats, Factory spray-in bed liner, under seat storage bin, pin striping, XE Preferred Package that consists of an AM/FM/CD/MP3 capable (6 Disc in-dash) audio system, overhead center console, Sliding rear window, rear privacy glass.

Gets great gas mileage for a full-size truck as it is as light as they get, has a Truxedo Tonneau cover & Armada air dam for better aerodynamics, has the narrower XE tires for less rolling resistance, synthetic oil for less mechanical friction losses, and has the higher gearing of the non-tow package. My 1999 Ford Ranger with a 4-cylinder and a 5-speed only gets 4-5 mpg better on my commute.

My scan gauge shows an average of 19 mpg on my commute (20% city, 80% highway), around 22 straight freeway driving (at 60ish), 16-17 around town, tank averages around 18. This is current mileage. I've noticed that it gets a lot better mileage when it is warmer and mileage drops when it is colder and we have oxygenated gas. I noticed a 2 to 2.5 mpg drop from July/August to winter and then back up again. As they say though, your mileage may vary.

Asking price reduced to $15,950. Truck is in excellent condition. Selling & keeping ratty old 4-cylinder/5-spd Ranger supercab due to the lovely combination of a cut in pay, loss of wife's income, and house repairs becoming more insistent. Not due to gas prices as the Ranger only gets 4-5 mpg better than the Titan and is a heckuva lot nicer and more fun to drive.

Okay, I must be asking too much. It's on craigslist, autotrader, here and nary a nibble.

It's about halfway between the KBB good and excellent condition price even though it is in excellent condition, has great maintenance, extras, and some options not listed on KBB.

Guess I'd better drop the price and see how it goes. At some point it won't be worth selling.
