I wonder how many cars Nissan has to sell with a $16k MSRP to not run into some sort of truth in advertising laws. For example looking at Nissan's website there's one such car in stock (in transit) within 500 miles of me.
I tried to buy one last spring and gave up. I put down a deposit in March, was told I might get one around June. June came around and they couldn't do more than say "Maybe by Sept." Ended up buying a used car.
There is one near me, but add $245 for splash guards, $170 for floor mats, and $1115 for "destination fee", so the real price is $17,660. At least they are not adding a dealer markup.
