The car I got has the third tail light that blinks. I hate that. I guess the dealer can disable it. It's hard to buy a plain vanilla car!

But then I've read that the Tokyo Motor Show is next week and Nissan will unveil the next generation body type.
I got a 2014 and it was not my original color desire, but the inside has ALL the bells and whistles. I have A7, Bose, Nav/Touring, and Sports package. I was afraid I'd have to go without Sports or Nav but I got it all at the cost of color only. A great trade since I plan to be the driver all the time.

I'm glad I bought now. The new design is not going to be like a new computer where the old models are basically unsellable. It will be many month before a new car comes out to see in person and by then you will be waiting for the next one. Live now!

Check with FightingChance.com as well if you want to be real picky. I got my deal by waiting about 60 days before pulling the trigger. Don't settle but don't sweat the small stuff either.
