I'm going to be the voice of dissent. I don't know if it's Nissan's fault or the dealers' fault but, in this area, I don't think it's the economy's fault that they're not selling cars. 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!
