We did it!
As some of you may remember, my wife and I ordered a True Blue L last October, but the deal fell through in December over a change in the trade in amount. The salesman called last week to discuss meeting us in between. Well we went back and forth for a week and were able to get a little more for our trade in and $200 lower than the X-Plan. My payments stayed the same as our trade in (2000 Xterra)!
So we now have our 2002 True Blue Lightning!
And yes I am smiling
The first question I have is that here in Nebraska, its hard to find a 93 or 94 octane gas. Is there anyone from Omaha, NE that knows where to get it or does anyone recommend an octane booster additive?
Thanks!

Congrats I also traded my 99 for a 01 while keeping the payments 24.00 lower. Just run the highest # gas available in your area. As mention when/if you chip, tell your tuner your octane rating

Thnaks everyone. I used to wonder why everyone was up late at night posting. I thought that was kind of weird until now. I realize that you can't sleep because your thinking about driving your Lightning. We only drove about 15 miles last night and I had a hard time getting to sleep.

Hey Sarge, first off congrats on the new L. I already have an 01 L but the wife will be trading in her 00 XTerra on a new EXP or Nav soon. I was just wondering what they gave you for your Exterra. Hers is the 4 wd SE with about 28k on it. Thanks and enjoy, I know I love my L. I will love it even more when I install the JL #4 pully with my reburned chip

Ripper,
Ours was an XE with 24,000 miles. It was a cusomization job done by the dealer with leather seat, KC lamps, tubular font guard, heated seats and "Xtreme" badging. We had purchased for approx $24000 and were looking to try and get $19,500. When we first went to deal on the Lightning they would give us $17,500, but yesterday agreed to give $18,500.
They had a purchaser for it and in Nebraska we don't have to pay sales tax on the trade in amount, saved me another $900. SO I got about what I wanted instead of selling it out right. It did need a new windshield and a good detailing.
