Decided to wait for HLSD

Hi all,
I just got back from the dealer with my initial deposit for a 6speed SE that was sitting on the lot. Ive been reading so many positive things about the Helical Differential that Ive decided to wait until February. I was mainly concerned about traction in snow, although a little less torque steer would also be great. I asked the dealer how much the option was and he said it wasnt listed yet so he couldnt tell me. I just read somewhere in this great forum that its $399. Is that correct? If so, thats a steal considering it also includes the aluminum foot pedals.
Thanks, AL

That's the price the Nissan site quotes; I got my dealer to honor a $330 invoice price for purposes of negotiating my order back at the end of October. My car is supposed to arrive in January sometime, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it slip to February.

Hi, thats GREAT! You would think for that price Nissan would make the HLSD standard equipment on ALL 6speeds. Anyway, Im glad I decided to wait.
Thanks, AL
