Hello Everyone,

First off, I'd like to say that my wife is the actual Nissan fanatic. I'm a fan of most cars to be honest, but her passion is stronger for this brand. We have quite a few cars, so I'll focus on the Nissans on this post.

We are in the process of buying a Midnight Jade Metallic 2014 Rogue SL AWD + Premium Package with the rather elusive Almond interior for my wife. My understanding is that it was originally a Factory Special Order for a Nissan employee. I had no idea how difficult these were to find in Canada! I've been told that there are very few Almond interior equipped cars made for the Canadian market, but I can't believe that so few could have been made. Does anyone have a better idea on the production numbers? I even tried to order this interior/exterior combination online... Says N/A on the Nissan Canada website... Just odd.

We're replacing her Platinum Graphite Metallic 2013 Rogue SV AWD + Tech package as it was written off for hail damage. After a $10,000 claim last year and a $20,000 claim this year... It was time to call it a day.

Before that, she drove an Inferno Metallic 2001 Nissan Sentra XE sedan (her first new car) which she cherished dearly until it became too impractical for her needs.

And before that, she had her parents ultra rare Medium Blue Metallic 1989 Nissan Sentra 4WD station wagon with factory air conditioning. When she bought the '01 Sentra, her parents bought it back. They ordered and bought it new, still own it and are asked about it constantly. Does anybody know how rare they are? It still looks like the day it rolled off the factory floor!

Will post more when time permits.

Welcome!
Nissan is weird about what they offer where... someone probably thought Canadians didn't need almond interiors because it isn't as hot up there or something... and the supplier couldn't supply enough to keep up with demand if Canada got in on it. Who the heck knows.

Hi, I'm new here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Terri and I have several cars. I own an 2001 QX4, 2002 Crown Victoria, 1997 Cobra Mustang, and 1988 Mustang GT convertible. I was looking around trying to find some help for my QX4. She's having an issue. So I joined and maybe ya'll can help. I am the second owner and she has 175,700 miles on her. Exterior and interior are near perfect. The engine is strong and she fires every time. I currently drive 120 miles daily and she purrs along. I'm in Nashville, Tn so we don't get alot of snow. But last winter we got ice, and my lil Q went where no one else could. Never spun or slid! That was my reason for buying her. Driving Mustangs on snow and ice SUCKS! So I guess I'll go to the advice section and see if someone can help me solve my only issue with her. Thanks in advance :wavey:
