My new 2010 TL SH-AWD Tech - PM/Ebony

Pulled the trigger on a 2010 TL PM (versus WDP) - went back and forth on this color decision.

I am "transitioning" from a 2007 Type-S, wanted to try out the PM versus the WDP. Took the kids to the dealership to check out the new ride and got their approvals as well

Here's a couple of shots of my PM and a WDP at the dealership. Now the wait for pickup.

Nice & congrats! Hopefully the wait isn't too long. Nice thing about Colorado is you drive it off the lot the day you buy it.

Is it just me or is the WDP missing the rear trunk lip piece? I was under the impression all of the SH-AWD models came with that. Or is that part of the tech pkg?

Congrats I came form an 08 Type-S and as you will find out the AWD while not as nice looking as the Type-S is built leaps better and rides better and more refined, it is a far superior built car, just wish it were styled nicer. I have 15K miles on mine and leather is barely got any wrinkles and car is rock solid tight and quiet. My Type-S leatehr never held up this well and every one of my 3G TL cars had some squeaks and rattles!

I know what you're saying. I picked up mine on a Saturday. My wife and I both had to drive past the dealership on Friday and it was sitting outside, all detailed and perfect in one of the "Sold" car spaces outside the showroom. She called me at work and said "your new car is hot."

Not sure I understand, are there states where you can't? When I bought my '06 TSX they prepped it while I was off sitting around at the credit union waiting for someone to check the loan paperwork. Got a ride back to the dealer, picked up the car, drove back to the credit union, grabbed the check, drove back to the dealer, and all was done.

I believe the WDP is a SH-AWD with no tech as blackura mentioned earlier. The camera which is part of tech is on the rear spolier - that's the one I got

If they'd offered the 6-6 without Tech, I'd have probably gone for one without ever experiencing the Tech Pkg.

But now I'm really glad that I have it. :-)

When I was living in NY, you bought the car (down payment, filled out the paperwork) then scheduled a delivery date. The dealer would then have to process the loan app, submit the DMV forms and pickup the license plates (unless you were transferring your plates). This usually took at least a day, unless you time it right and bought the car first thing in the morning.

I went through this process on each car I bought, and took about 2 days before I could pick it up. Same thing when I was selling cars, the salesman was responsible for getting all the proper forms filled out and submitted and had to go to the DMV to get the plates ready, all before it could be picked up by the customer.

Is this PM TL going to be a 6-speed?

wow, I didn't know that some states have a certain number of days you gotta wait before you can take it home! That's is a complete shocker to me! LOL

In VA, you go to the dealer, do the deal, agree to the price, and while you do the paperwork, all DMV stuff is transmitted right at the finance office and they have a stack of permanent plates they just hand out to each car sold. I've bought and took a car home in as little as hour and a half.

I'm in Virginia and my transaction was pretty fast, too.

I made an offer, and the next day the sales manager called me.

I know he didn't really say this exactly, but it was kind of like:

"I can do that. If you're serious, big mouth, come and get it!"

Nice choice. I personally like the rear spoiler on the car. Actually I like spoilers on cars period. They add a racey look to them.
And yes here in CT you can pretty much drive the car home same day. I know we waited and scheduled a pick up day for our TL, but when we bought the Maxima we bought it and drove it home the same day.
