rayden7 Posted June 19, 2018 Hi All, I'm in the process of buying a 2018 Nissan NV3500 HD SL passenger van to replace our now dead 2004 Nissan Quest. We have a big family (6 kids - 5 boys and 1 girl) and a dog, so between the 8 humans and 1 canine we definitely needed the extra space. Unfortunately it seems that most all New England dealers only seem to have the NV3500 HD SL in white and they are charging full MSRP or more to get it in blue or black, so I'm actually flying down to a dealer in Florida on Thursday to get one (in black!) and at a reasonable price. I'm sure I'll be lurking around on these forums more as soon as I make the trek back from Florida to the Boston area... 2 Mark Rogers and andy_george reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Welcome. You do need the space... If you haven’t seen the posts regarding the anemic rear ac, be sure to read them and check the ac before you drive it off the lot. Not every NVP has this problem. Enjoy your trip home. It’s a great ride. 2 other items: Black paint finish has been poor. Check it carefully. Not much you can do except document it and maybe get a better price. There also is a service bulletin (?) regarding a software (?) update for the new V8 and transmission. Check the numerous posts... It should have been taken care of.

chphilo Posted July 3, 2018 Welcome to the forum. When I was purchasing mine, all the vans the selling dealer had were black. I guess it depends on supply and demand. Make sure to post some pictures of your van when you get it. 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
