shop around! The NV's are sitting on most car lots so they will be willing to negotiate with you. I did it all from home and we ended up paying way less out the door then when we first saw numbers. Will share the blog link on there that details it all out. Hope it works out!! http://veganrunnermommy.blogspot.com/2016/10/me-vs-dealership-how-to-get-best-price.html

Thanks everyone!! We looked at the sticker in the van and then the owners manual and they were giving us conflicting numbers. So wanted to be safe and not do something to harm the Bug Blue Beast. @andy_george What brake controller and weight-distribution hitch did you get? Did you install it yourself? I've been reading reviews on different hitches and they are saying some are better then others. Thanks!

We are looking for a camper and need to know what is the max we should be looking at for weight. I see some of you have a 35ft 7,700lb camper and seem to be hauling it fine. Did you do anything to the van to make it be alright to haul that? We have a 3500 Passenger Van SL. There are 2 adults and 3 small kids that will be riding in it too. Some light luggage. Throw some numbers at me

We got ours replaced for free from Insurance. That doesn't count as a 'claim' either. We are in Florida too so not sure if that is only in our state? Had to get ours replaced after 2 rocks chipped it in different parts of the windshield. :(

The running boards look great!! So glad I could help another NV fan out :) (I'm Vegan Runner Mommy) Hope you got a great deal on them, enjoy the new van!!

When we were looking I wanted a red one... impossible in this area... blue was my second choice and black my 3rd. When we hunted tho I never told them my color preference, if I did they would know they had us under their thumb. So when it came down to it the dealerships got so desperate they offered to get us any color we wanted as long as it was a 'related' dealership. We got a blue one in the end, SL trim :)

We bought it in Tampa FL and it was 7% sales tax. That's another reason we shopped in a large radius too, some areas were 6% or 6.5%. But for us it all came down to the out the door price :) Happy car hunting!!

Please shop around! We bought our SL trim 2016 (in 2016) with ever bell and whistle, and we paid $35,000 out the door. We are a growing family of 5 on one income so I had to make sure we got the absolute best deal I wrote a blog post on how we did it if you want to check it out http://veganrunnermommy.blogspot.com/2016/10/me-vs-dealership-how-to-get-best-price.html

We had to cut 2 inches off the cement header to get a our van in. As well as raise the garage door to open up more, it was a 2 day project but well worth it!!

Thanks everyone!!

We put Luverne on ours and did the 2 long ones. Here is my blog post about it, we installed them ourselves too. http://veganrunnermommy.blogspot.com/2016/10/luverne-running-boards-for-nissan-nv.html

Salute... I can see that working! We have a ton of cargo work vans over in our area, the passenger ones are maybe 2 or 3 a month. Since they are so rare we tend do to the "Hey its my twin! (point and smile)" Not cool I know...

:) The jeep wave is more like a 2 finger 'whats up' thing... the mini cooper one I don't know exactly, maybe google it? I haven't seen it in action myself.

We keep seeing the NV Passenger Vans here and there locally, so my husband and I decided we need a NV Wave. Any ideas? Jeep owners do a 'wave', even Mini Cooper owners do one! Why not us too? The 'point and smile' as you pass each other is not cool enough...

I finally worked up the courage to call the Nissan dealership and have our rear AC vents looked at. (I don't trust dealer service centers) I see here from the forum that other people have had similar issues to us... just looking to see if anyone had any success in getting it fixed? We live in Florida so the rear air has to work for us! Right now in the winter if we turn the rear vents on full blast Max everything it hardly blows anything out at all almost feels like a whisper or Nothing at All
