Default Black or White???

So this past MDW I finally worked out a deal with one of my local dealers. I put down the deposit for black nismo and have the dealer locate the car for me. I was told today that theres no black nismos available in my area. I think the closest is around 1000 miles away. The dealer also told me that theres a white one available and they could get it for me instead. I really like white one as well but i think I would rather get black. I really dont know what to do. I always wanted white one at first but when I saw a black on black nismo on the street (I think it was Nismo370's car) I started thinking if the black wouldnt be nicer. Also Ive never saw a white nismo in person but I have a pearl white Mazdaspeed 3 and it looks beautiful in that color. So right now I dont know if I should wait until black one is available around my area or get one now in white. Maybe I could meet one of the members here that has a white nismo. I live in north jersey. It could deff help me to make up my mind. thanks

White is my favorite for the Nismo 370. After seeing it in person, I was sold. Haven't made my purchase yet, but should be in the next few months. Good luck with your purchase my friend!

Start calling other dealers...get what you want so you don't regret it later. Also they can't they put it on a truck and get it to you? Don't they want to sell a car...

Both colors look great, you won't regret either one.

Be honest with yourself, if you compromise and get the white, will you be happy or will you feel a pang of regret everytime a black nismo drives by. If you do/will, then wait and get exactly what you want. If you can live with the white, then just get the white.

Me personally, I would rather wait and get exactly what I want and have no regrets/compromises vs. immediate gratification.

isn't there a thread about a slowdown or temporary halt of production on the Z somewhere here lately. I'm sure you could find a black one somewhere, and if its what you really want, I would hold out for however long it takes, just bank your car payment money and use it for additional down payment when you do find one.

On the other hand, the white looks really sharp also. I could live with a white one, and I'm partial to black cars.

Yes there is. It would appear ordering a car right now is not happening. Hopefully it will come back around sooner rather than later.

Dealers Lying Or Has Nissan Put A Hold On Production

My input on black vs white is this; get what you really want, that's what I'm doing. If I could handle red or silver I could be driving a car right now. But I'm holding out for white myself. Also, I don't know your habits in regards to car care, but black is a bitch to take care of compared with white. The white can be dirty and not even look it, while black can look dirty 30 seconds after you wipe it off. Black will also show scratches super easy. Hope that helps.

I was kind of in the same dillema when I was purchasing my Z. I've always been a fan of black sports cars because when done up right, they look sick. But I'm also partial to blue as it's a less common color than black. I had never seen the MR Blue we have avaialable in person to completely judge the color. I'd only seen pictures that made me think it was a kind of Robins Egg light blue which just didn't work for me.

I was debating on which one to order from the factory direct then I found out a black one was coming right to me. So I quickly put a hold on it and locked it down. Looking back, I wish I had been more patient and decided that it was okay to wait for a blue one to come in and get what I wanted with all the options I wanted.

Also, and its up to you how you wanna take it, but taking care of the black and keeping it looking 'black' is a chore. I enjoy it and thank goodness, cause if not, I'd have a bad day lol It's soooo hard to keep clean haha.

sounds like you havnt really seen a black nismo or a white nismo in person. best bet is wait. Go see them. and then pick the one you actually love based on actually seeing it. Dont wanna regret a 35k+ purchase.

I vote white...but there are alot of them (even though I love this color on the NISMO).

Personally, I see very few Red NISMO's. For sake of having something different, I might choose red over anything else.

Not trying to sound like a smartass but have you ever owned a Black car? Are you ready for the upkeep and maintenance required to keep the car looking good? If not, go white, it still looks great.

I am lazy when it comes to cleaning my car, and have never owned black before. It sucks because my car always looks dirty even tho I wash weekly. In retrospect I probably have gone another colour, although when it is freshly washed it looks amazing, it just doesn't last long.
