It is a 2016 model. Had 3K miles on it as a dealer "demo" but is
warranted and titled as "new". Peppy little sucker though and quiet.
All that matters is that "she" likes it.

Don't know if they still make them or not.

I got a similar letter about the Nissan Altima I bought just about a
year ago. "Due to a shortage of clean, previously owned autos we can
offer you 125% of the current market value of your 2016 Nissan Altima
towards the purchase of any new Nissan product.

Geeze. Gimme a chance to put a few miles on it first, will ya?



My buddy went to the GMC dealer for some new tires on his 2015 diesel
pickup. Came home with a 2017. They gave him $43k for the truck, $10k off
the new one, a $700 Costco gift card and some other stuff. So instead of
spending a grand for new tires, got a new truck for not a lot more.

I keep getting these cards for the 2009 Silverado 250HD with the
Duramax/Allison combo. But, I don't
think I'd want to mess with the DEF crap. With mine, I don't.


My son in law has a newer RAM diesel. DEF does not seem to be a problem.
Put a gallon in the tank and good to go for 5000 miles or so I think. The
new Trucks are nice. I am looking to replace my camper on the truck, but
my 2004 will bring about $25k, so only $55k more for a new truck. I think
I will stay with mine and the 160k miles.



$25K + $55K more for a new truck? $80K for a pickup truck? Wowser! And I
thought I was slightly nuts for dropping what I did plus a beat-up
Altima for a 4WD Taco.

That could include a camper.

It's not hard getting a *decent* pickup up to the $70K range.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't want to live in SW Florida. Been to Tampa many

I guess it depends on what you like but 11,000 northerners move to

Personally I like the idea of beaches without sea nettles, a 12 month
boating season, better weather, less pollution, less crime and less
