Thanks for the offer of help. I think we've covered everything within 300 miles of here.

If you want to buy a 370Z in this area, you're in trouble. There aren't many in stock. If you want an automatic transmission or the sport package, you will probably have to buy the car sight-unseen.

I've been to five (countem' FIVE) Nissan dealers in a 100 mile radius. Here's the rundown:

Manchester (small town): 1 - MT, non-Sport
Cookeville (medium-sized city): 1 - MT, non-Sport
Murfreesboro (affluent burb): 0, yes ZERO 370Zs in stock.
South Nashville: 0, yes ZERO 370Zs in stock.
Downtown Nashville: 3 - All MT, All Touring, All GPS, All non-Sport.

Arrrrrrgh! I can promise you that, if they don't have an AT for my wife to test drive, we're not buying a 370Z.

As an old wisened salesman once taught me . . . if it's not in stock, it's not really for sale.

Nissan? Get these dealers to stock a few cars and you'll sell more cars!

I have the same problem in Wisconsin. There isn't sh!t for selection. Most dealers don't have more than 1 and many don't have any! I want a 6MT base, sport package, monterrey blue (not picky about extras...kick plate, trunk mat, etc.). Dealer searched the entire midwest without any luck and with the uncertain wait time I refuse to order one even though they were trying to PROMISE me 2-3 months. Based on what others have said on here I cant believe that anymore so I guess Ill hold off for now.

I took the specs to the dealship here in Austin the third week in January. They ordered the car directly from Nissan, and had it delivered in 5 weeks. (7sp auto/sport/navi/PG)

Called Ed Martin Nissan in Indianapolis to see what they had in stock. They didn't have what I wanted but said they would check and get back to me. They did that same day with two options. This was a Thursday evening. I decided on which one I wanted and was told I could pick it up Saturday after 1:00. That is service.

BTW, I got $3k off sticker in mid Feb which I thought was a pretty good deal at the time.

I bought mine from Fred Martin Nissan in Akron, Ohio. Where is Ed Martin Nissan? I wonder if they are somehow related?
