Ok I've decided after much thought that I'm just not ready to part with my 2009 S. I like the car and really like shifting gears. As nice as the CVT could be at times I'd miss actually driving the the car lol. I will say this though.. when I was buying the S the sales man kept trying to sell me into the car based on monthly payment. They did the same again when I inquired about a new car. Had I have let him he'd had me on a 72 month loan with a slightly lower payment but more interest!

I have to say I'm really glad I didn't finance through Nissan (not that I could, they turned me down after they put me in the car and I had it home lol) but went through my credit union. They at least let me pay as much as I like over the minimum each month which will help shorten the life of the loan.

that's a good decision financially speaking :thumb2:
The SL will put you at a higher price and whatever you still owe they will add it to whatever SL model you decide to upgrade.

it all boilsdown to how much you want to spend and what makes you happy, you give and take the rest can wait or could be installed later.

I would absolutely LOVE to get mine paid off and not have a car payment
:woot: that would be the S**t lol :biggrinjester:

Car salesmen always want to talk in terms of monthly payments, because it hides what your actually paying for the car. For most people, they will just go into the dealer and accept whatever numbers the dealer give them. My number one rule for dealing with car dealers is talk in purchase price. Do your homework, even the manufacturers website will help you calculate what your monthly payments would be if you bought your car at MSRP.

I'm looking for a factory.. I mean OEM, something that has MP3 plug in because making CDs is a thing from the past YO :biggrinjester:

ohh thanks for explaining about double din and single din :thumb2:

I was going to get this radio from best buy but they were going to charge me for installation so I said no. then I was going to buy it online at a cheaper price but they were sold out.



Mine did not come with MP3 plug in
I've been looking at the exact same stereo and was about to buy it a few weeks back from Amazon but they were all gone. They had it on sale as well for a decent price. Ah well I'll grab it again.

Yes the car sales man wasn't to great at his job because I kept talking big picture full out the door price put it in print that you'll pay off my loan and apply the difference to the new car. In fact I told him put me in the new SL for $15,000 out the door and we have a deal. He came back with "$15,000" out the door plus.. crap put it at $18k lol

Anyway I've now only 33 payments left on my S which is as good as new to me. I'll add the power locks, stereo and if I find some.. alloy wheels as well! Get this thing paid off as fast as I can then maybe look to see what the leaf is like a few years form now. My round trip to work is less than 20 miles and for me the leaf would be perfect even the beach/theme parks are well within range. In fact they've even installed charging stations in and around this area recently.

I bought the SL model back in 2007. Love it. Bluetooth, fog lamps, 6 cd radio with aux imput for my Zune, better upholstery, cruise control, wheel controls, nice sideskirts and spoiler. I love my little SL V.

Sounds good. Im sure you can make it unique, which alloys do you like? I'd love a set of '10-11 SL 16s! :biggrinjester:
