Storm Blue, Cashmere.

MSRP with D&H, mats and splash guards was $41,095. Paying $38,728 plus tax with a free set of all weather mats for winter.

This will be my third "bought new" Nissan vehicle. Owned and loved a Pearl White 1995 Maxima, traded that in on its last legs for a 2005 Infiniti G35x. Traded that one in for $5K (thought that was a good offer) a few months back for a new family SUV (GMC).

Very good experiences with Nissan. Hopefully the third time's a charm too!

Pics to follow.

 

What model?

 

See thread title. Platinum.

 

I have to see that color in person looks great in photos.

 

I could only see that and a pearl white in person. Did white before (1995). Infiniti was silver. Wife's new SUV is already red.

So it boiled down to Bordeaux Black or Storm Blue for me. Wish I could have seen all the colors with my own eyes, but I like how the Storm Blue looks black on cloudy days, or at night. Color seems to show up in sunlight.

 

My final list of colors I considered was:

#1 - Silver
#2 - White
#3 - Gunmetal
#4 - Storm Blue

I really liked all four of these colors. Red was #5 for a few weeks, but the rest of the colors were never on my list.

 

Here in Tenn at the dealership that I purchased mine from they had

Gun Metallic
Bordeaux Black
Storm Blue
Pearl White
Brilliant Silver
Super Black avail on SR/Platinum only

All beautiful colors but that Brilliant Silver really caught my eye on the showroom floor!

You can check my post to see some decent quality pix to get a good idea before you pull the trigger

 

I like the gunmetal but i have a the slate grey 7th gen already. silver is my first choice usually..and they have 2 on the lot in SL. I think I'm decided on SL as well. The discount is worth it to me (3k less or so).

 

My list was :


Pearl white or silver and I was going too buy whichever I found first. I bought the pearl white.

 

Took it out for a three hour drive. Wow... even nicer than I expected.

Stereo is spectacular! Especially when you activate that Bose driver mode thing (can't remember the name but it focuses the speakers on the driver -- it's in the settings/audio menu).

The only thing I need to get used to is the torque steer when punching the throttle. Perhaps it's just me, having not driven a front wheel drive car since my 1995 Maxima. Anyway, I can see where that could be a bit dangerous if you aren't in two-hand grip mode when passing on a narrow country rode.

The push button rear window shade is a cool feature on the Platinum. That will get some use in my household as we have two small kids.

Will try to post a few pics shortly.

 

You always remember your first day with a new car!

 

Congrats!!

 

Great photo. Congratulations. Well done.

 

That car looks great. Congratulations.

 

Great car. I'm supposed to go to the dealer today, but I dunno with these rumors of cars off the lot.

 

Congrats!!! What rumors?

 

It's not a rumor, myself and plenty others have experiences with dealers taking them off/having a stop sale as evidenced by the topic I created on it.
