Can't find 03 max, any suggestions?

I'm looking for an 03 Maxima 6spd titanium loaded (minus nav.) but none of the dealers in upstate NY can locate any. I'll settle for a 6spd with sunroof (black, silver, titanium, stirling mist, or gray) but they can't even find that. Is it too late? Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't find 03 max, any suggestions?

go to the nissan website and find all the dealers within like 100 miles of your area and start calling,


in essense what you are looking for is a dealership chain that has a couple of dealerships, they will get you what you want...

the 6 speeds are rare but can be found

The dealer checked all the dealerships in the area (178 total) and non of them had one. I've emailed dealerships and called in NY, NJ, NH, CT, VT, and PA. I went to 3 dealerships in my area and put a deposit down at one but he called and said they couldnt find one. I'm trying dealerships farther away but I don't know if they will give me a deal or be able to ship it to NY.

We have a Grey Lustre '03 6-speed in stock, you can e-mail our internet guy @ eon@southpointnissan.com. I don't know how loaded it is, but I'll try to find out this afternoon.

Damn, I just picked up an '03 SE auto w/sunroof for $22,400 w/1.9% financing. Aren't there any deals to be had on the 6spd? They gave me almost $5k off msrp becuase they are trying to move out the last '03 Maximas in inventory. Surely they have the same rebates and dealer incentives on the 6spd...if there are any left.

Ok, try these dealers in MA:

Clay Nissan (www.claynissan.com) -- have quite a few 2k3s in stock, not sure how many are 6 sp though, give it a try anyhow

Quirk Nissan (www.quirknissan.com) -- a ****load of cars in stock, perhaps some 6sp

Coastal Nissan (www.coastalnissan.com) -- got mine there in 11/02

Fireside Nissan (www.firesidenissan.com)

Nissan of Natick (www.nissanofnatick.com)

Kelley Nissan of Lynnfield

Frost Nissan

These are just some that I could think of. Give them a call/e-mail, and see what spans out. Good luck, and let us know.

Well here's what happened. I called about 5 different dealerships (all in different states) that were going to look and call me back, but never ended up calling. I emailed about 10-15 dealers with no response. Not sure whats up with them, maybe they didn't have any and felt no need to let me know. Anyway, I'm going to look at blue 03 Max w/6K miles, 6spd & sunroof. Its not all the options I'm looking for, but hopefully the money I save by getting used can be invested in the car. He's asking $19,000 which seems like a nice price (depending on condition). Let me know what you think, Thanks again.

Correct--you only need to have the sunroof option. When I was looking for my '03, I did see a few TE's with cloth.
