12 years! EDIT: Almost 15 years
Hard to believe but December marks the 12th year of my Xterra and the 12th year of my membership in CNTC (formerly SOXC). Another year with my X and I still don't want to part with it! I don't expect I'll ever have another vehicle that I still enjoy driving every day for more than 12 years!
Anyhow I just wanted to do my yearly check-in thing and say hi to those who remember me and cheers to those newer members I haven't met!

Good to hear from you!
Yeah, I've had my truck longer than any relationship, and most friendships I have.

Re: 12 years!
Well I have good news and bad news. Bad news is after almost 12.5 years it looks like I will be parting with my xterra. Good news is I bought another one! Looked around and considered a few other vehicles but in the end I just couldn't bear the thought of life without an xterra! So today I pulled the trigger on a smoking deal for a brand new one and according to the dealership I should have it by the end of the week! I will post pics once I've got it. If the second one is anything like the first, I should be lurking around here for another 12 years!

Re: 12 years!
great to hear Cracker! not to many guys can say they ran the same rig for this long and enjoyed every day of it.
out of curiosity, what did your X go for 12 years ago vs a brand new one?

I'd have to check but I think it was about $27K all in. 2001, base model with manual tranny.CruiserRomey wrote:great to hear Cracker! not to many guys can say they ran the same rig for this long and enjoyed every day of it.

Re: 12 years!
Just out of curiosity - what trim level and colour did you go with for the new X...?

Re: 12 years!
Good question! I was supposed to be getting a Trail Green with a manual tranny but it looks like the dealership has jerked me around I was working with Dale Downie Nissan in London and I must say that the way this week has gone, I'm not very pleased. Will post an update as soon as I know more.kremit wrote:Just out of curiosity - what trim level and colour did you go with for the new X...?

Re: 12 years!
May I commend you on your excellent taste, closely followed by threatening you with serious bodily harm if you get that particular rig... Mine's a Trail Green PRO-4X with manual - and as far as I know up until this point, it's the only Trail Green in Ontario (and seemingly all of Canada, actually). For 2011, it was a very limited run with a tiny ordering window - I had to wait longer for mine because of it...that pesky little wave problem in Japan threw a wrench in the works, apparently.Cracker wrote:Good question!

I dealt with South London Nissan and got a wicked deal - let me know if things fall through with Dale Downie, and I'll hook you up with my guy. I have a funny feeling they won't be able to find you a TG one, though...

Re: 12 years!
Well Kermit, no worries, a Trail Green one is not in the cards . Apparently they have a metallic blue one so that is what I am going with! I'm still not counting any chickens until they hatch though....hopefully the story has a happy ending and I have a new X by the end of the month!

I've seen the 2012 Daytona Blue - it's quite bright, and will make a colourful addition to our motley assortment...
Again, though, and seriously - if you continue to have difficulties with Dale Downie, let me know. I work in the industry, and have some resources that might help.
