Again, call me naive, but MSRP means MSRP, not MSRP+850.
Well, thats the way many auto majors quote their msrp. So yes, real MSRP = MSRP+destination charges.
Exactly why there is a waiver at the bottom of the order confirmation page saying price doesn't include Destination charges. And I'm not guaranteeing Nissan of Chantilly won't charge me the $850 Destination. It's within their profit margin to waive it and just charge MSRP, so it's not unreasonable for them to do so, but for the East Coast, it's unusual to see any dealer going
below MSRP+Destination.
The $1,450 price increase over the 2011 SV Trim w/ Cold Weather Package would still make MSRP $35,200 and with Destination that comes to $36,050, which is pretty close to your sweet spot, and I'd not fault a dealership for offering that. I call that following the MSRP guarantee. The MSRP and Options Guarantees don't include Destination charges and certainly if those are rolled into the price or otherwise waved (which is at the discretion of the Dealership) I call that a better than MSRP deal.
Because that's just the way the business works.
One would hope when the car's made in Smyrna the cost will go down, but there's no guarantee of that.
