I'm not sure of all of the available combos ( ie. model-colour-driveline-tranmission ) on the lot but they had a good selection. There may have been more in the back lot also that I didn't see.
On another note my sister-in-law had a black LE X-Trail for 4 days on an extended tst drive through a broker. When I popped the hood it had the "oil thing " going on in the engine compartment. I stuck my finger in it and it was definitely hot oil, not rustproofing overspray. A leaky gasket ?
My wife drove the X-Trail and gave a green light to a purchase if I'm so inclined. Right now she drives a Honda Pilot ( which she loves ) but she said it was nice to drive something smaller. We might ditch our 10 year old van and replace it with the X-Trail.

I had the same cleanup issue on my LE. I am pretty certain that it is not oil though. On mine there is a gap between where the gasket cover is and where the stain is. Based on numerous previous experiences with leaky gaskets it doesn't appear to be the same thing. The substance was rather sticky and scraped off and didn't smell like motor oil. Since the cleanup, no further stains.
