Salt sux! But probably wasn't driven much, so not much salt on it while sitting in the dealer lot.
GM has Conquest Cash deal as well (1K off) but Infiniti QX4 doesn't qualify, while a Pathfinder does
I am willing to get a new one on the lot (month old), but no adv pkg. And as you all told me, I NEED the adv pkg.
I'll let you know.
Thanks

Its been sitting on the lot for 9 months? Make them swap out tires. The originals may have flat spots due to it sitting too long in one place.

Hell, you're gonna want new tires anyway. A set of 315's will go a loooong way towards making you a happy camper.

Have them put in a new battery and maybe 4 new tires?

Does it have many miles on it??

Hmm. Wonder how much leverage I'll have getting new tires.
I think milage was under 50miles when I test drove a month or so ago. Could have been 100. So, not many either way.

My battery was dead when we got ours. They replaced it and I have not had any problems since.

Seems odd to me that it's been sitting for that long and not been sold.
