dhardison Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Two years ago when my nephew turned 16 his grandmother, not my mother, bought him a vehicle for his birthday. He picked out what I guess was about a three year old Pathfinder that was black with black leather. The only time I sit in it back then it looked like it had every option you could get. We don't live in the same state and I see him even less now because he's a freshman at Ole Miss and away at school. I did make a mental note the only time I saw it that it had a VQ and I thought that was probably a good thing. The thing that has always puzzled me was it had a platinum edition badge on the fender or drivers door but only on the drivers side. So I have a few questions for the R50 people. 1. Was there an really a platinum edition? 2. Is it supposed to have a badge on each side and the passenger side is missing? 3. Was this just a marketing ploy to load up a Pathfinder with options and sell off the last of the R50s before the model change? I would ask him but he's car clueless and if it's just some dealer add on fake thing I don't want to embarrass him. I've seen some red 99 Maximas with a platinum badge but never another Pathfinder platinum except his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxman0324 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Your pretty much right on all fronts, the Platinum was just a fully loaded LE. I would imagine it should have a badge on both sides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhardison Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 http://cars.ign.com/articles/458/458619p1.html Yep that's it I remember the back-lit gauges and the kick plates. I like to think I'm responsible for him choosing a Nissan. All those Christmases and Thanksgivings I showed up at grandma's driving a shiny new Max or Z-ZX while he was growing up.

Ooooh pretty gauges, I wonder if I could get a part number for the cluster to fit to my 03' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
