Get a white exterior with a tan interior. Dude, SE's are like barf! I'd consider a Tahoe if your pinching pennies. Stripped Tahoes are better machines than stripped Armada's! Armada's are better because of all the extra's you get...loose the extra's and what are you left with? More towing capacity with less cooloing capability? :huh:DaveDatsun said:I'd love to get the factory nav system. But the desert sun/heat and leather seats of the LE don't get along. Consider having to spend extra for an LE and the nav option over the cost of an SE. You could add an impressive audio/video/nav system for that money.
dave and xtoy - and a sunroof? - ya gotta be kidding

If money was no object you could buy an LE and replace the interior. I'm hurt that you don't 100% value my opinion like it was the last opinion on earth. Tonight I will be tossing and turning all night long.DaveDatsun said:wwdjwithca -
White exterior with tan leather? Sounds like one of our current vehicles - so speaking from experience, no thanks. Cost is not the object, nissan's option package system is the problem.
As I said, I'd love to get the factory nav, but don't want leather and have good reasons. Your admonition to buy a Tahoe is quite simply, bad advice. If that's the extent of your vehicle knowledge, then please spare me from your opinion.
dave and xtoy - the SE is a stripper?
Wow, what a great idea. Just a little backasswards but what the heck. Maybe we'll do that.wwjdwithca said:If money was no object you could buy an LE and replace the interior.

If you start getting into the more expensive systems you may want to consider the stock NAV system. I read where many guys recommend buying aftermarket systems; being better of course than the stock system. This of course, is purely someone justifying his or her mistake cause this system is flat good.
The NAV system itself is quite good (more on that latter), but combined with the A/C, Sound, Trip, and rear view camera the system not only is excellent, it is really nicely integrated into the automobile. The integration of the technology system into the the functionality of the rest of the systems is a difficult task, but Nissan excuted this as well as ANY other aspect of this vehicle. The rear-view camera is spectacular; backing down the driveway making sure to avoid cars and children, hooking-up a trailer, backing an empty trailer down the boat-ramp, and the markers indicating distance from the vehicle is just an awesome feature of this truck.
The NAV system is an excellent system on it's own. The Bird's Eye view is a great way to follow the roads as they come into view, with or without automatic routing. The routing computer works extremely well too. Gives great detail, and has great tools like "Quick Stop" for ATM's or restuarants or gas stations.
It's not perfect of course. Annoying disclaimer everytime it turns on, no touch screen, and doesn't let you enter routing information while on the fly. But it's a top rate system none-the-less that integrates really well with the rest of the vehicle.
yes, I was there yesterday, and the dealer is asking $188.00 for the navigation Housing, but you can get it cheaper from www.everythingnissan.com or www.courtesynissan.com at around $117.00 plus shippingmich05 said:I have a 04 LE with every thing execpt the NAV.
