But this one I figured out on my own. Notice they don't advertise this as a "Silver" model, but everything else is correct. You can see the "Silver" badge on the back, the leather seating, model specific wheels, keyless ignition...all add up to a Silver edition. You can also see this isn't a mixed up pic with an LE because you see the Auto 4x4 button with the normal dash trim. An LE would have woodgrain.
Also I believe there's no price because they just listed it. This is the first time it's showed up on my search and according to Carfax just came in a few days ago.
I'm not super serious about this one but was intrigued by the 4x4. I also like this color a lot but I have a feeling the price is going to be bonkers based on their asking price for other low-mileage Pathfinders. I'm planning to go look at a private party '12 Silver today. It's white which isn't my favorite color but it appears to be mint and the price is quite right.
Agreed, it's definitely a silver model, has the leather seats too. I doubt there's anything untoward here, just some incompetence. Can you take the vin off the last picture and run that through carfax? Maybe that would clear it up. A friend recently bought a moderately old but in mint condition highlander and the dealer insisted it did not come with three row seating even though it was obvious they were there but down in the pics of cargo area. The price reflected the non-three row option, so my friend shrugged his shoulders and bought it, taking the chance that the dealer was being incompetent and not hiding horrifc damage of some kind. Third row is as mint as the rest of the car and he got a steal. So, I'd at least check and see if this one ends up priced like an S...you never know.
Best of luck whichever way you go.
