For those looking for an SUV that can handle the rigors of off-roading and extreme driving behavior, the 2012 Nissan Xterra is a prime candidate to go wherever their owners can take them.

Available in three trims (X, S, and off-roading specialist PRO-4X), the Xterra competes with the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Toyota FJ Cruiser. The 2012 Nissan Xterra is powered by a 261-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 that generates 281 pounds-feet of torque and can be mated to either a six-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic transmission. The Xterra is built on a full-length fully boxed frame for added strength and also has a double-wishbone front suspension, with a multileaf solid rear axle.

If the optional shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive isn’t enough to get you through adverse driving conditions, an available electronic locking rear differential delivers equal power to both rear wheels for added traction. The rugged PRO-4X model comes with a plethora of extra equipment, including roof-rack-mounted off-road lights, Bilstein off-road performance shocks, skid plates, 16-inch alloy wheels with BFGoodrich Rugged Trail OWL tires, a Rockford Fosgate audio system, and Bluetooth® connectivity. Hill-start assist helps you from rolling backward on inclines, while the Clutch Start/Cancel feature allows the PRO-4X models with a manual transmission to start the Xterra from a stop without using the clutch.

The 2012 Nissan Xterra seats five and boasts 65.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. If you fold the passenger seat flat you can make room for an eight-foot-long object like a surfboard. The optional Utili-track channel system built into the floor of the back of the Xterra house four adjustable cleats to keep your gear organized and in place on those bumpy roads. For added space, utilize the under-floor storage in the back or the gear box incorporated into the iconic roof rack. Bluetooth® connectivity, satellite radio, and leather-appointed seating are optional.

As far as safety is concerned, the 2012 Xterra has six airbags, an electronic stability system, and antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution as standard equipment.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
