New Titan owner

karmasoft · 09-04-2004, 05:30 PM

Hi,

This is my first post and I wanted to make it a good one. I've been lurking around other, similar sites, hunting for information. Since I found this one I can truly say All of my questions about the Titan have been answered, via the great capability of the site, and the supportive user community.

Owning a car before the evolution of the internet was never this fun.

So without further ado, let me contribute my little story. I've been toying with buying a new truck, and have pretty much had it pegged on the Titan for several months. After a relocation, and settling down, I was ready to buy.

I did the test drive thing (I posted a detailed story of Avalanche shopping on another site - should I re-post it here?) and the Titan came out on top.

Problem is I couldn't find the one I wanted -- 4x4 LE Crew fully loaded sans Nav, in either Silver or Green with Sand/Steel. I've done the local dealer, "locate" trip before on other cars with mixed success and decided to find one myself.

After 4-5 hours (late at night) on Nissan's outstanding website, I found it. It was 800 miles away. I called the dealer (Advantage Nissan in Bremerton, WA), and after a few phone calls, agreed to terms. I decided to have it shipped to my city because I was too busy (read too lazy) to get it myself. Two, torturous weeks later it finally arrived -- today!

And here it is, one of the last of its kind --

2004 Nissan Titan 4x4 LE Crew Cab in Canteen Green with Sand/Steel
o Born: 07/04
o Power Glass Sliding Sunroof
o 4x4 Off-Road Package
o Side Air Bag Package
o Big Tow Package (w/4x4 Off-Road Pkg)
o Nissan DVD Mobile Theater System
o Splashguards
o Floor Mats

I saw the green titan today on the road. Actually it was the first titan I've seen driving around town.

Congratulations! Very nice truck. Keep an eye on this forum for advice on how to keep it in tip top shape. And yes I've seen 1 Canteen Green Titan.

Nice Truck, Nice Color! I looked at several 'Canteens' but none were equipped like I wanted, so got a Deepwater. Still wish I'd done what you did, and searched a bit further.

Welcome and enjoy the forum.

Welcome! I also had to go out of state to find my Canteen XE/CC/4x2. It was worth the effort. The green ain't for everybody. We will be a rare breed indeed. No more green in '05. The truck is a total blast!

Very nice Titan. You got all the goodies on it too. You must have been pretty impressed by the Titan to go that far to find the one you wanted.

Welcome to the forum and congrats. I love that color, but they're hard to find equiped the way most want them. I wondeer howmany Canteen Titans were actually produced? I'm betting less than 20% of the first years production were Canteen, anybody know? I would have bought one if it were equiped the way I wanted. Oh well, I am very happy with my Silver!

There will be no more canteen on the 05 models? I read on nissan hale that the only exterior color change was the sedona. Discontinuing it and comign out with Red Alert?

sorry that was nissan help

JerseyTitan · 09-05-2004, 03:26 PM

very nice truck. i too have been lurking around the forums while trying to decide on whether to get a Titan within the next few months. the lease on my silverado will be up soon. i noticed in the description of your truck you said it was a LE, but in the photos it had the SE rims. might be something to look into?? good luck with your new truck.

cfa24 · 09-05-2004, 03:28 PM

When you get the off road package you will get the same rims on the se and le models. the 17'' 7 spoke rim i think it is.

I am looking into gettiing a titan within the next few months. I want an le red brawn or canteen with sand/steel interior. Havent made up my mind on the exact options. I know i want big tow, 4x4, mats, and sunroof (will have to get it installed in dealership) unless i get the dvd and side airbag as well. Anyone had a sunroof installed by there dealers, or does anyone have a titan like this? if so how much did you have to pay for it. i was quoted 29500 on a le cc 4x4 with no options in dallas, tx.
