Just got my X-Trail today...and LOVE IT! We got an SE - 5 spd in red and our dealership threw in the spoiler...awesome! I am very happy and can't wait to drive it to the cottage tomorrow!
Will get a new X-Trail SE AWD AT/Blue, waiting 2-3 weeks period, normal?! What is the best price you got on this, any input will help me negotiate the car before I get.
Thanks
I was just on eBay and saw that Item Number 7909791303 for a New X-Trail Cargo Liner was available and it's a Canadian Product out of Ontario. I ordered one and wanted to let all of you know that it is available..it's a great idea and the eBay feedback that they have for their product is very good. I will let you know when it arrives. It is located in the eBay Motors section .. just do a search by the Item Number!
Well after seeing the price of the carpet, it is a waste of money! I could get another one better quality ouf course without the Nissan Logo.. but it is a carpet... The liner is removable and washable and keeps spills inside the liner.. not absorbed by a carpet.
Hi Ooi,
What factor did make you decide on Green Colour?
We are thinking the At/Blue and debating between those two colurs, my wife likes the AT/Blue better which is a very nice colour too and I like them both equally, but I think Green fits more of the charactheristics of the car and looks more macho.
Can you give me some negotiating hints and what was the discount you got on the car? This may halp me when I go to the dealer for sure!
Thanks!

Thanks very much.
I don't have anything in the back, but have been trying to decide what to get, as groceries etc slip slide around back there. I also have two dogs, and just throwing a blanket back there doesn't work.The tray sounds like it would solve some of these problems. Let us know more details when you get it.
I will let you know... I received an eMail regarding the liner from the seller who informed me that while he has 10 available he gave me an offer to wait an extra week for the newer (better fit) model. Some of the dealers that he showed it to said that it could be a little snugger in the back so he is making the modifications to the new models. I chose to wait since my X-Trail is not in yet and I am in no rush.
I liked the X-Trail carpet but given my previous experience with articles spilling the tray (liner) makes the decision very easy!.. I want to protect my investment.
On another note I did receive my Second Skin Audio Noise Dampening material 9Damlifier (V2) this week, its some neet stuff I will also let you know once I have my X-Trail the difference it makes (or not) to it. I am going to apply it all the doors, and the back area of the X-Trail Hatch Back, storage wheel compartment, and side panels over thw Back Wheels.
That's it for now....

One thing I noticed about my X-Trail is the inconvenient location of power outlets. Although there are two (please tel me there are only two) neither is suitable for my use as a power source for my cell phone or notebook PC. If I use the one in the storage compartment above the steering wheel the cable spills out all over the place and sometimes interferes with the steering column functions like the washer for example. Not to mention the cable hanging down accross the radio controls, etc. I wonder why they chose to put it there instead of in the space under the emergency brake or even somewhere else on the dash board that's a little more practical to use.
As for the one in the hatch , it's fine but doesn't help me with anything being used in the front of the car.
So how does one slove this problem ??
Simple. Put in a new power outlet. Like I did. In the bottle cooling storage compartment. And hook it up so that it always has power , not just when the ignition is turned on. Voila. Problem solved and if installed properly (just like mine) it fits to pefection, does not interfere with the operation of the drawer that folds up and down or the doors that open and close. $14.95 @ Canadian Tire. 30 minutes of time. A great solution to the problem.
If anyone cares to know how to do it just email me.

Hi Hagtex,
I bought the green cause my gf likes green, and I don't mind it as it looks good on an SUV (sorta blends with nature), and that is a rare color for cars around my neighbourhood (I like to be the blacksheep). I've considered blue also, but settled for what my gf likes better. The car itself looks macho compared to Rav4 and CRV, I think blue looks good too. I'd say look at the real thing in those colors and then decide.
I'm a Magna (the auto parts manufacturer) employee so I got a 2.5% over invoice discount, which is lucky for me since I'm not a good negotiator.
Thanks for the input Ooi,
I think we will go with my wife's first choice At/Blue, and see what kind of deal I can get from the dealer. Keep you guys posted!

You say you got 2.5 % above Invoice. Can you tell me what Invoice price is
for the X-trail.
Our X-Trail has been hit by the apparent gasket leak as well.
At the gas station yesterday I decided to check the oil level.
Yikes, a patch of brown oil was sitting just in front of the black plastic top.
Will call the dealer later today to find out what to do.
Seems like the X-Trails definitely have an odd valve cover gasket issue.
Not sure if the oil was a leak that disappears or is it a faulty gasket.
My green X-Trail LE :)
