Greetings,

Just picked up my 2K2 SE a few weeks ago and just now getting around to posting. So far so good, I've been impressed with the mileage so far. Based upon pump calculations, I've been getting around 27 mpg with mostly highway driving.

I bought a Grey Luster SE with sunroof and aftermarket leather (Katzkin). Total cost was 23,727 plus TTL. This included the 1000 rebate already applied. Goofs in finance also gave me the 3.9% in addition to the rebate.

I'm having a great time with the car, just dreading the day that I have to buy those 225/50/17 tires..........

 

Congrats on the max and welcome to the org.

 

Grey Lustre is nice, and rare!!! Pics?

 

doesn't it come with the 225/50/17 tires?

 

Yes it comes with the 225/50/17 tires, but at about $190 a pop, you can figure about $900 when all is said and done to have them mounted, balanced, disposal fee, tax, etc.......

 

nice, i thought about grey luster. time to start moddint that beast. www.frankencar.com

 

When you replace the tires, dont buy Potenzas again. I just replaced all my tires, with Nitto Extreme's for $100 each. They make them in 225/50/17. I like them way better than the Potenzas personally..

 

Hey mdjtlj, congrats for your new toys and dont forget it's illegal to smoke brothers with 2K1 auto


Cheers

It sounds like you got a very good deal. Noticed that you're in Texas. What dealership did you use and did the 23,727 include sales tax as well. Pardon if I'm nosey, but I've been looking and am trying to get a handle on what to expect when I start to deal.

I'm in Houston bye-the-way. Thanks,

 

Congrats.I know how you feel.I picked up my first Maxima last week.Went with auto because im an old fart and honestly am sick of shifting.Ive gotten several looks and a couple of thumbs up while stopped at the lights.What a car.Well good luck and enjoy.

 

Also in Houston, used Mossy. The 23,727 was before tax, title and license.

 

Houston here too, David McDavid, but I'm not gonna reccommend them as their service dept. sux, I don't remember how much I paid though

 

the guy's name is David McDavid?

 

[happy homer voice]yeah[/happy homer voice] he owns a ton of Nissan, Acura, Honda, Kia and other dealerships in Texas

 

Hey mdjtlj: Are u pleased with your Katzkin aftermarket leather? I am considering having it installed in my 2K2 SE. Is your leather black? My SE is Sterling Mist with black cloth, and am leaning heavily toward dark graphite Katzkin leather. Any of your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. JAKE02

 

Rare? I had no idea.

 

Jake02,

Yes, I'm very pleased with the Katzkin leather. I've got the frost interior and chose the dove grey leather. When you order, they will give you two options on the leather, smooth or gathered, definitely go with the gathered, it makes it look much more plush.

Also, the door panels are smooth for this kit and not gathered, this is the only change I would have like at this point with it. When I had it installed, I had a pretty stiff smell of adhevsive for a few days, but it goes away.

All in all, I've found the quality of the leather to be quite good and the fit is perfect. I would have to say that I'm pleased.
