    Given that the Dualis is now in run-out mode (or close to it) due to the new shape/model (called the Qashqai) arriving soon…You can really bargain hard OR wait until they confirm a run-out campaign special.

    I would expect a minimum 5% reduction in the drive-away price - as a guide.

    Also make sure you have done your research and be prepared to buy it (if you negotiate). The salespeople love customers who are prepared to buy on the spot.

    Also, if you can stretch your budget, go for the 2+ in Ti-L spec as it is feature-packed!

    If you are trading in then work out what your happy "change over price" would be.
    Some yards will offer an inflated trade in for your old car but will juggle the numbers to fool you into believing that you actually got that price for your trade in.

    go to whirlpool forums and their automotive area… your question has been asked almost every day… a lot of people have taken the time to write very informed advice that is well worth reading. Don't go in there and pop a 2 line question and expect everyone to retype it all just for you.

    You can save a lot of money by being informed when making large purchases… but sometimes a little effort is required.

    Tip… Do not buy the dealer add ons… paint protection, extended warranties, etc… this is all sucker bait.

  • the third row in the Dualis +2 is tiny. I was after a dualis + 2 about 9 months ago. my 6 year old found the third row seating tiny. there is very very little foot room.

    here and here are a couple of posts for SUVs/7 seater vehicles

  • I have a friend who purchased dualis +2 Ti last month with interior and exterior protection for 32.5k drive away.
