I can't speak for Nissan... as I haven't dealt with them yet... but I've NEVER had an issue with toyota.

actually I just had a situation that could have turned really bad with them before I left AK. They did maintenance on my truck and all of a sudden the entire charging system goes to shit. they swore up and down they didn't have anything to do with it... that it was a coincidence. well obviously I didn't agree... but they took care of me... gave me a loaner vehicle so I could continue packing up my storage... they priced out the parts to fix my truck and even knocked off the labor (5hrs worth) to try and do right by me... but the parts were still 1200... and worse... they couldn't get them in before I had to be on the road.

So they cut me a deal... $5000 off the price of any vehicle over 10000... I found the Xterra and talked them down a little... then took the $5000 off... walked out paying 9950+ ttl. not bad for an 06 with 48383 miles.

Toyota did right by me... always have.

only other dealer I have experience with was a Chevy one... not the greatest... service didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground... but they got the work done...

1200 bucks for what? The generator? Entire charging system went to shit? WTF does that mean? You have 1 generator on the vehicle and a slew of hiring harnesses of which an individual wire could be repaired. Sounds like someone got taken for a ride. lol You didn't pay the 1200, right?

The Xterra is tight...esp. with the manual, tho I would have bought a Jeep if I was going to buy a something other than a truck that was 4wd.
