2009 Corvette Z06 in Seattle at Rairdon’s Nissan of Auburn

by admin on December 29, 2011

Just because we are the premier Seattle Nissan dealer, that doesn’t mean we don’t have a wide variety of tremendous used car inventory. Including an absolutely flawless 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, for sale in Seattle at Rairdon’s Nissan of Auburn. I can just hear Prince singing ‘Little Red Corvette’ to me.

After a milestone year in 2008 that saw the introduction of the LS3 6.2L V-8 as the new standard engine, a custom, leather-wrapped interior and more upgrades, the Corvette powered into 2009 with a raft of enhancements that further distinguish it and give customers more choices – including a lower-priced convertible model.

The ’09 Corvette  Z06 is equipped with the 505-horsepower (377 kW) LS7 engine and built on a lightweight chassis, the Z06 is a street-going descendent of the championship-winning Corvette racing program.

Several trim and content changes are incorporated on the Z06, too. They include:

  • New, “spider”-design 10-spoke Z06 wheel available in four versions: Sparkle Silver, Competition Gray and chrome
  • Color-keyed door and instrument panels with red and titanium interiors
  • Power-operated pull-down hatch now standard
  • Gray stitching on Ebony base seats (previously red)
  • New door sill plates with the Z06 logo
  • Acoustic package standard on all Z06 models

The interior on this 2009 Corvette, for sale in Bellevue at Nissan of Auburn, is inspired by the car’s dual-cockpit heritage. High-quality materials, craftsmanship and functionality help deliver premium quality meant to enhance performance driving. The instrument panel and doors are covered with cast-skin foam-in-place trim with the look of a leather panel. It is warm and inviting and has double the life of conventional trim materials.

An AM/FM/XM radio with CD player and audio input jack is standard. An optional Bose audio system with an in-dash six-disc changer adds to the choices available to the audiophile owner. Steering-wheel mounted audio controls are included on all models. XM Satellite Radio is standard.

A full-function OnStar system with Turn-by-Turn Navigation capability is standard and an onboard navigation system with voice recognition is available. Using a 6.5-inch (165 mm) color touch-screen display, the DVD-based system contains all the map data for the 48 contiguous states and most of Canada on two discs.

Corvette also features k eyless access. When the owner is in close proximity to the door, the key fob’s signal unlocks the door. The system’s emergency key and other remote-function controls are integrated in a single unit.

Nissan of Auburn is part of the Rairdon Group. When you’re looking for a new or used Corvette in Seattle, come to Rairdon’s and save. Our Washington State car dealerships:

2012 Nissan JUKE in Tacoma at Rairdon’s Nissan of Auburn!

by admin on December 19, 2011

I pretty much breathe, eat and dream cars, it goes with the job. With that being said, there isn’t a lot of cars out there that will blow me away. One that has, however, is the all-new Nissan Juke, for sale in Tacoma at Rairdon’s Nissan of Auburn. This vehicle is in it’s second year and Seattle Nissan lovers will be glad that the 2012 Nissan JUKE is for sale in Seattle!

Built on Nissan’s proven global B-platform, JUKE looks exactly like it drives – fresh, fun and exciting. The JUKE interior is equally aggressive with bolstered front seats, a wide instrument panel and a unique center console inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank and finished in a high-gloss paint. There are no significant changes for 2012.

JUKE’s standout styling, derived from the dramatic Nissan Qazana Concept, brings a breath of fresh air to the segment. It features a powerful front end treatment with the turn signals integrated into the front fenders, a high beltline and coupe-like falling roofline. Other exterior details include body-colored outside mirrors and front door handles, “hidden” rear door handles and standard 17-inch wheels and tires.

Inside, the JUKE interior features the gear shift located on top of the console, with a high-mounted shift lever for sporty driving. In the rear, a fold-down 60/40-split bench seat and flat load floor provide passenger and cargo hauling flexibility. Available interior features range from leather-appointed seats and RearView Monitor to Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Start and Nissan Navigation System with XM NavTraffic® Real-Time Traffic Information (XM® subscription required, sold separately).

LOW-COST ELECTRIC-CAR QUICK CHARGER COMING TO WASHINGTON STATE

by admin on December 13, 2011

One of the biggest things that make people hesitate when purchasing an electric car is the amount of time it takes to “fill up” with electricity. Especially in this day and age where time is a valuable thing. Another concern is what happens if you forget to charge the car at night? Is it going to take forever and a day to get enough juice to get to work and back?

Well, those concerns can now be alleviated. Nissan North America Inc. recently announced that it is bringing an innovative, low-cost DC quick charger for electric cars to the U.S. market. The DC quick charger is being launched as part of a global collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation, with the first installations planned for early 2012.

Nissan and Sumitomo also announced that they are looking to Nissan North America’s preferred home charging station partner AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV) to be their wholesale and retail distributor, as well as the preferred provider for U.S. installation services.

Nissan announced the development at a press conference associated with the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in Honolulu, where Nissan also is offering test drives of the all-electric Nissan LEAF, the only 100 percent electric car designed for the mass market. The new DC quick charger can support all plug-in vehicles capable of quick charging on the CHAdeMO standard, including the Nissan LEAF which is available to U.S. consumers equipped with an on-board quick-charging port.

The starting price for the charger will be $9,900, about a third of the cost of models available on the global market today. The quick charger will come in two different models: a version for indoor use, designed to help accommodate fleets such as daily rental cars; and an outdoor model, which is specifically designed for public and commercial charging uses – such as public spaces, corporate campuses, and retail centers. Nissan and Sumitomo Corporation, together with its U.S. subsidiary Sumitomo Corporation of America, currently are taking pre-orders for the charger, with an online ordering system launching in January 2012. AeroVironment will help manage installation and distribution.

“This charger is the first of its kind, and it’s truly revolutionary,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, sales and marketing, NNA. “A low-cost DC quick charger unlocks the potential for unprecedented electric vehicle use and adoption. We anticipate thousands of these chargers will be installed across the country, enabling electric cars like the Nissan LEAF to be driven for even greater distances and durations.”

Nissan Motor Co. previously announced joint promotion of the DC Quick charger with Sumitomo Corporation in US market. The newly developed DC quick charging unit retains the high performance of current quick chargers but is nearly half the size – making for a more compact footprint and easier installation. Through this new charger, which operates on a 480v current, charging time for the all-electric Nissan LEAF will be under 30 minutes, from a fully depleted state to 80-percent charged.

You can order the all-electric Nissan LEAF in Seattle at Seattle Nissan dealer, Nissan of Auburn. We are part of the Rairdon Group.
