I tried buying a 2009 Black Altima Coupe 3.5 SE CVT new with premium package and there were none anywhere! I even contacted Nissan in town and they said they couldn't find any. So then I tried going for white and still NONE! Where the heck did all the cars go? Now I'm on the hunt for a 2010 and I can't seem to find one anywhere either!

I think it all depends on the area. I couldn't find a black coupe without the moonroof. The only place that had it was the first place I looked. I saw several of other colors though.

I know for a fact that there were almost NO manuals around DFW when I looked for my car. There was one black 3.5 maxed out with all the packages and I believe another 3.5 in precision gray.

My best advice is to just wait and look around as much as you can. Don't settle for anything but what you want. Shouldn't have to compromise with a car.

I would say 09's are going to be limited at this point in the year because of the new model coming out.

werd- i had to go to 3 different dealerships to find a 6spd wen i was lookin- i got it shipped from like- MN or sumthin lol

its all about the dealerships- the bigger it is, or more well known- the more leverage they have with other larger places- if its a smaller dealership- they'll know other smaller ones. its just how they roll

Yeah, man I'm guessing that the 09's were limited...

I got lucky at Kraft and they found me the exact config I wanted after like a week or so that had just rolled out of the factory..... try talking to Chris Kraft directly if you can, he should be able to get the ball rolling for you, just threaten to buy from somewhere else..

Dang, I just did a search at Nissan.com for all dealers within a 100 mile radius of Tallahassee and none of the dealers there have a 3.5 coupe. Most of them only had 1 coupe total!!

If you really want this car, search Nissan.com to try and find a dealer that is around your area that has the car you want. Keep moving the "epicenter" of your search until you find one. When you do, go to that dealer to buy it so you don't incur the "transportation" or "transfer" fees. Besides, even if the new dealer is 200 miles away, you get to drive back in your NEW car!!

Yea I have no problem driving out a few hundred miles to pick the car up. I know the 09s are very limited, but this was even 2 months back before the 10's came out. Now I gotta go lookin for a 10. I don't think I really want to go used...I always see how my friends take care of their cars and it ain't that great lol...Unless I can find a grandma who owns a altima coupe and is selling it ^^
