Even when I was looking for a 1999 maxima, it was a PITA to find a 5 speed. I ended up getting a 2k3 instead and I'm REEAAAALLLLL happy I did
As others have said, act quickly...there will be none left at that time (new that is).

One reason resale is so bad is the used car market. Who wants to buy a used car when you can get 0%-2.9% financing for a new car. Plus many cars are selling for around invoice. Used car rates are 5-6%. If the dealer can't sell the used cars on its lot why would they want to give you a lot of money for your trade-in....

#4, I had a hard time finding a loaded 6 sp as is, and I didn't see ANY that also had the Navi (although I did see the autos with Navi).And to the guy looking for an 03 6 sp in August, Nissan has finished production of 03s, so you'd have a HELL of a time finding one right now, and in August I imagine you won't find any (new ones that is).
