I've only had my Fronty for about a month now. I'm averaging about 17-18mpg, with less than 1300 miles on it.

I first stopped at a Toyota dealer and found a '06 Tacoma that was equipped exactly the way I wanted it. Even the color was good.

Went to take it for a test drive and they couldn't get it started. Not too good for Toyota's legendary reliability. Sounded like a bad battery, they asked if I wanted to wait for a lot attendant to jump it and I said no, and left.

Needless to say I would up at the Nissan dealer the next day and well, now I own the only import in the family.

A truck is a truck. You are not going to see MPG in the 30's like with small cars or with a Hybrid car. The Dakota I traded in had a 318 v8 and I got around 8mpg in town and 15 on the highway if I was lucky.

uupp... the old dealer bait and switch... order cancelled. They said they had located the white king nismo, and now they tell me its not available.

They should have made sure it was available before they cancelled your order...

The one they 'found' for you had more options right? They probably figured they could make more money on you with that one and when your 'order' came in they could make more money on someone else with that.

When my truck showed up (they had to trade for it from a dealer in NH) I told them I wanted to drive it before I signed anything. They were more than happy to oblige and told me that if I didnt want it they could have it sold within a week for more money (at the time there were a total of 7 CC 6-spds coming to new england over the following 6 weeks and none on the ground with the power package...this part was true, I had looked everywhere and evertime I found one I called and it had been sold but the website hadnt been updated yet).

Drive by the dealer the week it was supposed to arrive..my money says it'll be there.

Why not just go to the other dealer that had what you wanted? I went to a local dealer and he located precisely what I wanted, gave me a price and told me where it would come from. Just for the fun of it, I called that dealer and his price was $1,300 less than my friendly local dealer wanted! It was 120 miles away, so I guess it all depends upon how much time and mileage you want to put into getting a deal.

Sounds like when I had a dealer locate my Frontier. The found one exactly like I wanted at a dealer 150 miles away. Worked out the price and put $500 down and was told it would be there in 2 days. Called up 2 days later and somehow the other dealer sold it, but they would be willing to locate another for me or make me a deal for something on their lot (which all had options I didn't want).

Ended up driving 20 miles to a different dealer where they had the exact same truck I wanted, but it also had the sunroof/roofrack & RF stereo. But they really wanted to make a deal, so I got it for probably $200 more than I would have paid over the same truck minus those things (but the other one had a hitch).

Some dealers can be scum...
