Nissan Cargo Vans - Best Value in America!


Nissan Work Vans – the BEST Value in the Business!

 

 

Nissan of Vacaville, the #1 Nissan NV Cargo Van Retailer in California, has been on a HOT STREAK the past 3 years with the Nissan NV and NV200 Cargo Vans! Why? Because our VALUE far exceeds our PRICES!

Are you still buying the same Ford or Chevy Vans after all these years out of habit? STOP! See below for what Nissan has to offer and what you are missing out on!

Only Nissan offers a 5 year or 100,000 Mile BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY on all new Nissan NV Cargo, NV200 Cargo and NV 12 Passenger Vans! This truly is the best warranty in America!

Every business owner also receives No-Cost Upfit Packages including your choice of:

  • Cargo Partition & Shelving Options
  • Cargo Partition & Roof Rack Options
  • Vehicle Graphics up to 70 sq ft[1]
  • Additional Vehicle Rebates up to $700[2]
Plus, look at these STANDARD features that we offer!

  • Radio w/ CD Player & AUX Input
  • Power Windows[3]            
  • 25 MPG Average Fuel Economy[4]
  • Automatic Transmissions
  • Air Conditioning
  • 4 wheel Disc Brakes[5]
Think about the vans you are currently driving and ask yourself this:
    1. How much peace of mind is having a 5 year or 100,000 mile BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WORTH?
    2. How much would I save by getting 25 MPG Average in my work vans?
    3. How much would I save by getting my vehicle up-fitting at NO COST?
Do the math! The Nissan Van could be the perfect choice for you and your business!

In closing and to top off this already VALUE PACKED vehicle, Nissan of Vacaville will extend to you 2 years of NO COST MAINTENANCE ON YOUR VAN[6] if you use the following Promo Code "FREEOIL" before September 30, 2016.

Why NOT to buy a 2015 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van

Chevrolet Exress 1500 Cargo Van a Thing of the Past

April 27, 2015
 
The Chevrolet Express Cargo Van (and the GMC Savana Cargo Van) have been the "go-to" van for many business owners for years now. It's simple, easy to operate and has been around so long, it's become the "norm".  However, with a few notable changes for 2015, the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana may no longer be the perfect fit for you that it once was. By limiting engine and Weight Class choices Chevrolet may have handed Nissan a leg up on the competition.
 
For 2015 the Chevrolet Express 1500 and the 4.3L V6 Engine is no longer available. The new staple for Chevrolet Cargo Vans will be the 2500 Series Express Van with the 4.8L V8. Most businesses out there do not need the increased payload of the 2500 nor do they need a V8 engine, both options which will now cost you more. This is where Nissan's NV 1500 Cargo Van can fill that hole nicely. Equipped with a 4.0L V6 and touting 261 Horsepower and 281 lb. ft. of torque, the Nissan NV 1500 offers businesses a "half-ton" cargo van with considerable power and fuel efficiency.
 
When you consider the loss of this 1500 Model, the question has to be asked - what else does the Nissan have the Chevrolet Express doesn't? Here's a list of some differences between the Nissan NV and Chevrolet Express.

Nissan NV Cargo Van Payload Review

I get asked quite often about the payload capacities for the Nissan Commercial Van Lineup and how that relates to everyday usage. Here's a review of the Nissan NV Cargo Van Payloads and some helpful hints to assist you in picking the NV that best suits your needs. Something that needs to be mentioned when calculating payload is that you need to consider EVERYTHING going in to the back of the van plus fuel, driver and passenger body weight, weight of shelving, partitions and other up-fits. 

Nissan NV 1500 V6 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 2,535 -2,590 pounds

Nissan NV 2500 V6 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 3,031 - 3,141 pounds

Nissan NV 2500 V8 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 2,976 - 3,086 pounds

Nissan NV 3500 V8 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 3,747 - 3,925 pounds

Nissan NV 2500 V6 Cargo Van - High Roof
Payload Range = 2,866 - 2,921 pounds

Nissan NV 2500 V8 Cargo Van - High Roof
Payload Range = 2,755 - 2,866 pounds

Nissan NV 3500 V8 Cargo Van - High Roof
Payload Range = 3,582 - 3,637 pounds

Now, let's take a look at some weight ranges for common tools and materials to give you a better idea of what you carry and which van would work best for you!

4'X8' Sheet of 1/2" Plywood = 40-50 lbs.
1 Pallet of 530 Bricks = 2,400 - 2,600 lbs.
10 bags of Concrete = 500 lbs.
5 gallon bucket of Paint = 45-50 lbs.
Average Tool Bag = 30-40 lbs.
(100) 2x4's = 960-1,000 lbs.

By getting a good idea of how much cargo you use on a daily basis you can begin to figure out which Nissan Cargo Van would best suit your needs. Figure in 14 gallons of fuel at 8 lbs. per gallon, 200 lbs. per person in the vehicle, the weight of your van's shelving and there you go!

Why by a Nissan NV Work Van?

Why by a Nissan NV Work Van?

by Scott M. Foy
Vacaville Nissan 
Vacaville, CA 

With the release of the Dodge Promaster, the continued production of the Mercedes Sprinter and the rumors of the newly designed Ford Transit coming over from Europe, the question being asked is; Why should I buy a Nissan Work Van? With so many vans competing for the same business, what makes one better over the other? A huge part of the answer is your intent of use - how you plan on using the van and what features are most important to you. I have first hand Nissan experience, so here's my justification of why the NV is a good choice.

Forward Engine Design

The NV will still offer a pickup truck based van, with the engine mounted all the way to the front. While certain competitors will offer a "doghouse" design with the engine sort of half in and half out of the driver area. If you have grown accustomed to driving a pickup, the NV will feel more like home to you than sitting up very high over a short nosed cargo van offered by our competitors.

Center Console

While it sounds fairly insignificant, the center console has played a large role in decision making for NV Cargo Van purchases. The large, lockable center console in NV features a sliding surface for writing, large interior storage with a laptop shelf, 12V power, storage tray, section for hanging file folders, business card and pen holder and an optional 110V power outlet. This center console, when used in part with the hard back flat-floding passenger seat, truly creates a mobile office on wheels!

Standard 2500 Features

The designers of the Nissan NV put a lot of thought into features that business owners use most and then compared that list with the Standard Options on our competitor's work vans. Small things like, I don't know, a radio are options on some of our competitors? Really? Here are some very popular features that are standard on the Nissan NV that you may find yourself paying extra for on a competitor's lot, or maybe not at all since they don't offer it!
  • 26 Speed HVAC system
  • AM/FM Radio with Single CD and AUX Input
  • Power Mirrors
  • 5-speed Automatic Transmission
  • Tilt Wheel
  • Center Console
  • Underseat Driver Storage Drawer
  • (3) Overhead Storage Bins
  • 3 sets of Interior Cargo Lights 
  • 243 Degree Wide Opening Rear Cargo Doors

Customer Incentive Packages

Nissan Commercial Vehicles offers its customers multiple choices under their No-Cost Customer Incentive Program. Options include addition up-fit rebates, vehicle graphics, cargo partitions, shelving, ladder racks, and credits towards upgraded up-fit packages. Some of our competitors offer a credit, which typically requires you to come out of pocket for full packages like what we have to offer through Adrian Steel. Other competitors offer no type of customer incentive package at all, leaving you all alone to figure it out. I can say from experience with the NV that the Nissan CIP has been a huge part of our success.

Ride Quality

Part of my training as a Nissan Commercial Salesperson was to drive competitor's work vans and compare the ride quality to ours. The NV experience can be described as a pickup truck or large SUV ride - smooth and fairly quiet. It drives me crazy when people say "It feels a little heavy and sloshy". Really? A 9 foot tall cargo van that weighs 5,500 pounds didn't have the sporty feel like your 370Z sports cars? Say what???

When I drove the competitors vans I felt cramped, uncomfortable and noticed a significant amount of road noise. Sitting behind a wheel for 8 to 10 hours per day makes ride quality rank towards the top of my list. Very few people, once they drive a Nissan NV CargoVan, don't like. I've heard a thousand times, "This drives just like my Truck".

Billboard Advertising on Wheels - Vacaville Nissan




January 2, 2014

Billboard On Wheels

BE YOUR OWN ADVERTISING AGENCY

Vehicle wrapping, billboards on wheels, carvertising -- when you wrap your Nissan NV Cargo Van or Nissan NV200, you take control of your message. The Nissan Commercial Graphics program will help you give your Nissan NV commercial van a personal touch while promoting your company, products and services at the same time. Wrap your NV with attention-grabbing logo and graphics. Using an online tool, you can decide to simply upload your business' insignia or create something from scratch.

Next time you are cruising on the highway in Sacramento keep your eyes out for all of the Nissan NV Cargo Van logos and graphics - they are hard to miss!

THE NEED TO ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS

Advertising is the 'must-do' marketing medium that gets your business in front of your target customers. Because business is mostly local, it is necessary to find ways of advertising your business to the local market without breaking the bank. Placing a billboard ad on a major highway through an agency can be astronomically expensive. Apart from the high cost, other conventional advertising media may not get you the local impressions and business volume that a wrapped mobile vehicle can.

CONVENTIONAL vs INNOVATIVE ADVERTISING

For your business advertising to be effective, it must have multiple and on-going impressions on your target customers. We've all heard the experts say that a radio or TV spot must be heard or seen a certain number of times before the listener/viewer even registers what is be sold by the spot. Also, with the advent of the Internet, print advertising (newspaper, magazine, etc.) are no longer as effective as they used to be because a high percentage of consumers now turn to the Internet first to start their search for products and services they want to purchase in their local communities. A wrapped commercial vehicle wrap is the perfect way to send customers to your website.

HERE ARE SOME STATISTICS TO CONSIDER

An independent study performed by American Trucking Association (ATA) and 3M Commercial Graphics Division, revealed that

  • a single Nissan NV Van with a wrap that traveled in or around a major city generated over 65,000 visual impressions per day 
  • the same Nissan NV Cargo Van with a wrap when traveled in suburban areas of major cities generated over 30,000 visual impressions per day 
The study also revealed that people/customers who viewed the vehicle wrap had the following impressions:
  • 98% of consumers feel fleet graphics created a positive image for the advertising company 
  • 96% said fleet graphics (wrapped vehicles) had more impact than billboards or other outdoor advertising media 
  • 91% of all people notice the words and images displayed on vehicle graphics 
  • 75% of consumers develop an impression about a company and its products based upon vehicle graphics 
  • According to the OAAA (Outdoor Advertising Association of America), mobile advertising can be the most effective and cost efficient form of outdoor advertising with a lower cost per mile.
  • Always on. Unlike radio, print, or television advertising which can be turned off, vehicle advertising is perpetually on. You are always advertising your business -- even when your Nissan NV Van is parked in a private driveway or in front of your business.
  • Advertise at places where you otherwise could not due to cost limitations for your business: For example, trade shows, conventions, and grand openings. Simple arrive in your wrapped Nissan NV commercial van and right away you are already advertising to attendees.


NISSAN NV VANS ARE READY TO WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Whether your business purchases the Nissan NV Standard Roof, Nissan NV High Roof or the new Nissan NV200, you have ample space to create captivating vehicle wraps that will give your business maximum exposure to your customers as you drive around town. 

As always you can contact us for more information by visiting our website here

Nissan Commercial Vehicles announced Friday a new Customer Incentive aimed at acquiring more business from its competitors.

The Nissan Commercial Vehicle Conquest program rolled out the 1st of November offering current registered owners and lessees of competitor vehicles an additional rebate not previously available.

If a customer is the current owner or lessee of a Ford or Chevrolet Cargo Van or Pick-up they will be entitled to an additional $1,000 rebate on top of all other offers! This is obviously aimed and stealing business from its main competitors during the 4th quarter, which is typically "white-hot" in Commercial Vehicle Sales.

  • GMC: Savannah 1500, 2500 or 3500 or Sierra 1500, 2500 or 3500 Pickups
  • Mercedes: Sprinter Vans

Things to keep in mind in order to qualify:

  • The Competitor Vehicle must be currently registered/owned by the Customer
  • The vehicle does NOT need to be traded in at the time of purchase of a new Nissan NV
  • The Nissan NV must be registered/titled the same way as the competitor vehicle
