This is a sequel to my thread here:
SUV-owners - need your experience with these models.
I finally decided on buying the Xterra and what trim I wanted and I was very specific:
"2005 Xterra Off-Road trim, Granite color, 4WD/Auto".Returned to dealer yesterday and he says he cannot find ANY '05 Xterra-OR 4WD/Auto
in Granite color available anywhere in any dealership in a five-state regional search. I live in Aztlan so I suppose he searched in the SW USA region. He says that with the '06 models coming soon and that Nissan stopped producing new 05s now and the Granite color was a very popular color and so it's very hard to find now.
Does that sound right to you? Are they becoming THAT rare to find nowadays?
BUT... he says he DID find one and was able to arrange for it to be shipped here... from
Mississippi My immediate thought was "hurricane damage". Dealer promised they would not sell a damaged vehicle as new.
I got the VIN for the vehicle being shipped and it's due to arrive in about two weeks.
What say all of you?
1) Should I be worried about a vehicle being shipped from Mississippi?
And more importantly...
2) When it does arrive, how can I be sure it wasn't flooded or what should I look for to see if it had any water damage that the MS dealer may have tried to adeptly cover up?
