THE PRICE OF PAINT

My wife had one request when I went in search of a new car...."anything but black".  We are now eagerly awaiting the arrival of our BLACK 2018 Leaf.  Why?  Price.  It's that simple.  There are some awesome paints available for the 2018 models, most notably "Deep Blue Pearl", which was my first choice.  Unfortunately, in Nissan's infinite wisdom all paint choices, other than "Super Black" have a price premium.  Add in the fact that dealerships are not negotiating any sort of price break on the Leaf, meant there was no wiggle room to even talk about the $300 up charge to order the blue car.  "Pearl white" , "Scarlet Ember", even the super ugly "Jade Frost" all had an extra cost associated with them (ranging from $180-$300Cdn).  I have a simple, I don't pay for paint policy..so black it is....(even though that blue was so damn sexy....)
