Let's assume you aren't too picky and you're not put off by the old Rogue's overwhelming blandness and mediocrity.  If that describes you and if you're a tightwad but you insist on buying new, you can still have the old Rogue.

Or, should I say "Rogue Select"?

Honestly, I really can't see why anyone would bother.  :huh:

The new one starts at $22,490 and the old one is "under $20,000", which probably means $19,995.  You may as well just spend the extra $2,500 and get the newer, better one.  Now, if Nissan were to chop another couple of grand off the old one, then buying it would make sense.  $18K would be good value.  But $20K?  You may as well buy the new one.

Considering you don't actually know yet what the price differential is between comparably equipped models, I think it's premature to say that one is a bad deal. Especially because even aside from the sticker prices, the old model will likely have way more discounts.
