I pre-ordered a 3.5SE Winter Frost, leather charcoal interior, CVT, with Premium Package. It comes in mid-August. I can't wait.

I can't wait to see what kind of aftermarket stuff there will be for the coupe. I envy you guys who already have yours, lol. Treat them well, haha.

Dealerships:

There's 3 within an 80 mile radius of my parents house. We sent out e-mails and called all 3 of those dealerships.

Dealer A never replied.Dealer B replied, but then we asked about interest rates and we never got a reply back.Dealer C replied within 5 min. So, logically we went with them.

--------

oh noob question. What is AGlaze...it's listed on my invoice? some kinda sealant or somethin...

Darn...you mean I'm not the only one with a black! Couldn't have been me 'cause I don't remember that.

However, yesterday I was driving on the met in the middle lane when a brand new, shiney red Solara whipped by me in the third lane. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the guy slammed on his brakes so that he could pull up beside me & take a closer look. He then pulled up behind me & then to my right side all the while looking over the car. My buddy with me was saying he probably wishes he had bought an Altima Coupe instead of his car as it was obviously recently purchased. I've also had people ask me about it in parking lots.

Most enjoyable car I've ever owned. Even managed to fit in 2 golf bags and 2 pull-carts (with the back seats down of course)!

Yeah, I got alot of thumb ups and stares, and get talked to in parking lots alot too.

The Solara is so feminine, I don't know how guys can drive that car.

I had some people asking about my car once I had gotten it and was still at the dealer while they got my temporary plate done, they wanted to open the door and sit inside, Uhh, wait a minute, this car is SOLD. I'd bet I get much more attention at South Beach than a Lamborghini, haven't tried that yet. People's eyes are like .

I know what you all mean! I've had mine for about a month and probably 10 people have asked me about it or commented on how great it looks. It is pretty fun having a car that hardly anyone has seen yet, they are hard to find here in Seattle right now. I love it!

I had my first experience yesterday with people walking up to me in a parking lot. Once this first guy started asking questions, more people showed up to join in! Everyone loved the car...inside & out. I've got the 2.5 w/ leather: black on black.

Note: 90% of guys ask me why I didn't go with the 3.5 6cyl. FYI, I really like the 2.5 4 cyl. and find it pretty darn quick and amazing on gas.

I completely agree! My 2.5 is pretty fast and you can't beat the price difference.

Hey everyone,

So about 2 weeks ago I had posted a story about my horrible customer service experience at my dealership and also that I had an oil leak. Well the leak is back...and now I took it in and they will have to replace my transmission oil tank....because its LEAKING!!!...it was my transmission oil dat was leaking this whole time. Thye told me the first time they fixed it that i was a clamp of some sort on the fuel line that was loose and fixed it....but was told to come back for them to check up on any leaks....well now I driving a '07 Sentra as a loaner.....they will have to replace the part.....****ing helll.....brand new car....so everyone beware at least u out there with a 2.5....check ur transmission oil!! Plus as I had mentioned the 2.5 has a recall for an air deflector that has to be installed for the air intake, so that it doesn't suck up any leaves or big stones....

I pre-ordered a white one last week. HOWEVER, the very next day the dealer called me saying that they just made a dealer trade and they traded an Altima Sedan for an azure blue Altima Coupe. It was exactly like the white one I had pre-ordered. However, the Coupe that came in had about 700 miles on it, one paint chip damage on the hood, and a dent that can barely been seen. I had decided to go ahead and buy the car.

They fixed the paint chip and they are going to fix the dent for free. I can't even see the dent; you have to try real hard to find the right angle to see it.

So, I'm now a proud owner of a Azure Blue 3.5SE Premium Package with moonroof wind deflector, alumium kick plates, and carpeted floor/trunk mats.

Here are some pics. I don't have a good angle b/c I was too excited and wanted to drive it around.

Now I just need to get it tinted and think of a name...

Looks nice. But 700 miles, paint chip and dent, they did give you a deal on price, right?
