Buying a Titan tomorrow

Fireman480 · 02-10-2008, 08:23 PM

Just thought I would say hello, I am hopefully buying an '04 4x4 Black SE KC Titan tomorrow if everything goes well. I currently have a '99 SS Camaro that I will be selling shortly after. I have been looking around for a new truck for awhile now and I have owned a Chevy HD (hated it) looked at the Tundra and the Tacoma but I test drove the Titan and I love it. Anyways if you guys have any advise on anything I need to know b-4 I buy please let me know. Thanx!!

dont pay too much! i thought i was getting a great deal on my 04 XE CC for $23,000 and i was wrong. Either way, I really love my Titan, and you can't really go wrong with one. Even though I did pay too much, I'd do it all over again. Titans are the best trucks you buy. Good Luck!!!

They are asking $15,900 and I am going to offer them $14,500 OTD so I think that is a really good price w/ 61,000 miles on it.

have you looked it up on KBB.com? I would do that but it sounds reasonable.

Fireman480 · 02-10-2008, 08:44 PM

Yeah according to KBB they are going for about $18,000.

Then you're in good shape. I hope you enjoy your Titan as much as we all enjoy ours. And Welcome to TitanTalk!

Buy a 2006 so you have no problems with it its worth paying an extra few bucks

Fireman480 · 02-10-2008, 08:50 PM

Well I am kinda on a budget so I was lucky to find this one at this price b/c I haven't found anything else close to that. If I had i would probably be going w/ the CC rather than the KC. What problems are there with the '04 and '05's compared to the '06?

Ziminskas · 02-10-2008, 08:51 PM

Im not sure if there are any. The 06 may just have more options. I havent had any problems with my 04 and I love it.

check to see if the rear differential has been replaced and the brakes. I would get an extended warranty.

Alot of people experienced the "brake judder" issue, and they're were alot of problems with the rear diffs failing. Try doing a search to see some threads on the subjects.

*Troll Crap* · 02-10-2008, 08:53 PM

Well they upgraded the brakes and the rear ends.

**ArmyAviation** · 02-10-2008, 08:54 PM

are you buying it from a dealer? make sure the truck has all it recalls for the brakes and the rear end, and all TSB.

Ziminskas · 02-10-2008, 08:55 PM

oh, i didnt know that. when i bought mine it came with slotted brakes, i guess the previous owner did that. What did they do to the rear end?

*Troll Crap* · 02-10-2008, 08:57 PM

But then again if its got 60 thousand on it Im sure all the bugs are worked out. I was looking at an 07 for about 22000 and ended up buying new out the door 29000 because I wanted all the good options they have on the 2008.5 trucks. You will love any titan Im sure. I love mine.
