    Simpson 50th Anniversary Edition

    guys, saw this on the nissan web page
    http://www.nissan.com.au/webpages/mo...special-offers

    if that page dosent load try this one
    http://www.nissan.com.au/webpages/of...n_ST_Auto.html


    Nissan is giving these extras:
    Satellite Navigation with HEMA Tracks
    Reversing Camera
    Alloy Bullbar (New Design) with Driving Lights
    Branded Stainless Steel Rear Wheel Cover
    Branded 41 Litre Cooler Box
    some extra bits thrown in.

    question: is this a good deal or just a fishing line for newbies like me to catch on.

    AB your confused mate, the OP is talking about a Deal Nissan are doing right now on a New GU8 with lots of freebies. If your looking to buy a New Patrol then this is a great deal!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Hey Ronin, if your chasing one of these try and do a deal on swapping the front Alloy Bullbar for a Deluxe ARB bar in Steel mate, much much better and stronger for animal strike. Nissan will tell you that the Alloy Bullbar is worth $3k so an ARB deluxe bar should be reasonable.

    I bet they wont but that is what i would be pushing for.

    yeah I saw that too. I missed out on those free extras by a few weeks. I can't believe my Nissan dealer didn't tell me about that deal.

    I am sure he thought of 'a bird in hand is better than two in bush' , i mean make the sale now rather than hope he will come back in a few weeks time.

    I dont really know if its such a good deal.

    I have been monitoring the price of new GU8s in VIC the last month or so and previous to this 50th Anniversay deal you could get a new manual GU8 around the $50k mark, now the cheapest you find is around $52k - $53k. So they have basically slightly inflated the price to absorb the cost of the extra kit.

    Also regarding the extra gear you recieve the only part i would personally find useful is the sat nav. Everything else i could do without.

    I would be looking to put a new steel bar on the front and back (so no need for the alloy bar), which may even render the reverse camera useless depending on where it is mounted. Also if you increase your tyre size you most likely wont be able to use your new stainless rear wheel cover either.

    So all in all i would rather the extra couple of $1000 off the price for the accessories that I want, not the ones Nissan wants to give me.
