cargo cover
car cover
wheel locks
side moldings
and maybe at some point the grille/brush guard

Life after the deal is a big letdown.
I kept thinking about whether I can afford the loan payment.

Maybe your insurance will be cheaper since you have a newer vehicle with all those airbags??

My insurance is $662/year now with $1000 deductible with 250K/500K coverage. I am in Florida.

This was a great deal. I had been a lurker on FW for probably 10 yrs or so but this one brought me to post. I purchased for my wife and I- a base model Quest and a base model pathfinder also. I am interested in a couple of things. Anyone know how much it is to get running boards added to the Pathfinder? I definately think it would look sharp. I really do not care if they are Nissan or other. I would also like to get a portable DVD player to go back and forth between the 2 cars. I think I am leaning towards one of the tablet style ones that connect behind the seats and one that has the 2 monitors. I do not want to sink too much into it and honestly am leaning on just getting one from WalMart or target and buy their 3 yr extended warranty since they are only like $29 to get the warranty and will have under $200 into it. Any other suggestions appreciated.

I know I also definately am going to get the tent. Has anyone seen these? They are unversal to all Nissan SUVs and Vans so I could use it with both the vehicles.

your insurance fee is very good! I am perfect in driving record, but I have to pay $840/year for quest.

Yeah, well, I just hit 40 this year, so I think that is also why the rates are lower...

Xterra running boards at the dealership I bought from were $267 installed, so pathfinder shouldnt be much more than that.

I checked online Nissan parts websites and Pathfinder running boards are part # 999T6-XR003 (list price $199) but can be gotten at a discount online (I saw them as low as $159).

I found on my last Toyota truck that many local dealers charge retail or MORE for parts. After searching I found many Toyota dealers have online parts ordering (Easiest way to order is if you have the part number) and at substantial discounts. I did a quick search on Nissan dealers and have found the same. I picked some at random, look for your parts / accessories at any one of these sites and feel free to post other sitees if you come across them:

Nice tip, thanks. BTW, for those of us that bought from open road nissan of morristown, speak to the parts manager, Cole. Supposedly he's giving whoever bought a car from their dealership ~20% off on parts. Ex: side moldings he quoted "ap286" and me for about $30/ea which is a tad more than some of these sites but overall these sites have better prices, no question.

Other quotes he told me
Wheel locks - $32
Grille/brush guard - $347 (I think)(not installed)
Car cover - $100

also, at morristown, they didn't have some parts in stock (side molding/grill), but they can order.

Ony my last truck (Toyoyta FJ Cruiser) this was a really easy bolt on assempbly. Took about 10 minutes to install each side. I'm picking up my Pathfinder today (SE with running board alreay installed), but I'll take a look to see how they attach to the truck and report back.
