I havent had the chance to look at the site yet, does it come with, or the ability to add, a commerce way to sell items?

Look at WooCommerce (it's a WordPress plugin) and themes built for it. All you need.

Lol.... they are just trying to sucker you out of money, I know how these people work. The parts aren't hard to find, they usually have at least 5 years worth of parts on hand. Hell... I know of Toyota dealerships that can easily source OEM parts from 1970s Corolla's. I knew of a Mercedes Dealership that had parts from a Mercedes from the 60s on hand.

As far as the Xterra's go there is not a lot of demand for them, they are common, and they are not a "rare exotic". I would check around at different dealerships in the area. The reason why they cancelled it is because the 4runner, and the Wrangler have a stranglehold on that vehicle segment. I would try to talk em' down if you really like it, there is no reason why the prices on those things should be that high.

If you're willing to wait, there is solid evidence that in 2016 ford is going to bring back the Bronco. Don't know how that car will be, but initial reports look promising, especially if it's powered by the 5.0 liter Coyote drive train.


So, I test drove a Forester this weekend and it fucking sucks. Back to the drawing board.

Yeah, I have already called pretty much every dealer in the country that still has a new one in the trim I am looking for. There are a couple out in OR that are being reasonable. The ones in PA that are nearish to me want several k over sticker. Those are the closest.

BTW, my understanding of why it was cancelled is because of CAFE and the model was at the end of it's run, so they weren't going to redesign it.

That is part of it, they deemed it not worth the investment to bring it up to cafe standards. The rise of crossovers drove the XTERRA out of the market. It didn't get the gas mileage of the crossovers, and as an offroad rig, while capable was still inferior to the Wrangler, and the 4runner. The XTERRA was losing its market share really quickly, and really it doesn't surprise me.

If I were you I would go test drive a 4runner, they are really, really nice vehicles with tons of utility. It's a body on frame vehicle, and all of the components on the thing are high quality, and beefy. The 4runner is also very comfortable, despite being very rugged, it may be worth it to spring for 4runner. You can practically use the thing as a pickup truck, the seats fold down flush to the floor: http://pressroom.toyota.com/images/toyota/photo//049_4Runner_Limited-prv.jpg

They also come with a plug in 12 volt outlet three pronged.

I don't know about that - there are some pretty impressive videos on Youtube of stock Xterras. Wranglers are pieces of shit imo, and the 4runner is a bloated vehicle. The Xterra lost it's market share a while ago. It has been a pretty flat and consistent seller for the last half decade.

The main problem with the Xterra is Ghosn isn't a marketing guy and he doesn't invest in his brand. Xterra sales were minimal and flat, despite being a capable vehicle, against a backdrop of record Wrangler sales in 2014. They did a small refresh in 2014 - a little marketing would have gone a long way.

Yeah, I've taken a look at them and they are too freakin' big and way over priced imo. I'm not really interested. If they sold a stripped down version, I would take a closer look, but too many soccer mom features I don't want to pay for.

when i was about 18-19 we kept a shotgun right by our front door(there were lots of drugs and money in the house). One night about 2am a friend comes in and is holding it in the middle of the living room, he asked if it was loaded and i said "nah its not loaded" and i pulled the trigger for him. a 12g slug went through the ceiling of our apartment and into the upstairs neighbors living room and through their coffee table. My friend and i looked at eachother and then jumped out the back window. i got about 100 ft away and then thought about it. i couldnt let my friend Chad take the wrap for that, so i went back and waited for the cops(we got all illegal stuff out of the house of course). It was a legal gun, so i just said i was cleaning it and it went off. i didnt even get a ticket.


but Chad did get evicted.
