Keeps the out-of-pocket expenses to a minimum...hopefully!

No, extended warranty from Nissan is not a bad idea at all, that's why I got one. Warranty from an aftermarket company is pretty retarted even if that was the only option.

they offers way more money so they can work the numbers.. is this true??

You sound a little naive about the Process. There is no such think as "can't go under MSRP". Playing with the numbers and making you think they are is called an over-allowance. It's just to inflate the numbers for your trade and make you feel better. Dealers will always book in your trade at its actual wholesale value. Anything above that is just a discount from MSRP you could have negotiated anyway. Wholesale is what it's worth to them. If you're ready to accept that then go ahead and do the deal. If you want to get a few more dollars out of the transaction, then sell the car privately and negotiate your discount without the trade distraction...
