I was wondering who all here has the pure sport base model with no extras. I was looking hard for one and finally got one for a good price. I was wondering if they are rare to find or when I finally decided to get a new car every body already bought the base model.

 

there probably won't be many like that

 

I had to special order one from the factory for a customer. Takes about 3 - 4 months to obtain one that way.

 

Really I was just wondering if they are a high demand. My dealer actually picked one up from another state to get it for me.

 

I thought you said there were 8 of them available across the nation when you did an inventory search.

But to the OP, yes, it's pretty rare to find a no options 6MT

 

This one particular consumer wanted Black Obsidian/Graphite with a sunroof. He wasn't flexible at all in this so since it didn't exist, we had to preference one from the factory to his specs.

 

Then that's not a PURE base sport since he wanted a sunroof

 

Hence why it was preferenced. Sunroof was was the only option on the sticker; not even a trunk cargo mat or splash guards. Otherwise, Sport only models are rare since dealers will stock to what consumers at large would purchase, and a Sport only model doesn't get requested very often (twice only for me in fact).

 

Mine just came in yesterday. G37S (auto) with no premium package. I had to special order as well. The dealers make a lot of money on those packages so they dont like to customers to have a choice. The Sunroof is bad all the way around from a sports perspective. It adds 100 lbs at the top of the car and takes away 1.5 " of headroom. It also reduces the structural integrity of the car.

I am extremely happy with mine now that it has come in. I am 6'2" so I really appreciate the extra headroom.

 

Eh, I am a dealer and again, we'll stock to what most consumers will want to buy. Dealers don't necessarily make the money on the additional factory packages; the manufacturer does.

Congrats on your purchase BTW!

 

Wow that is nice to know. I really can care less for the sunroof because the structural integrity is sacrificed with a sun roof. I will be doing a few Xcrossing and that is why i like a stiffer frame. Has anyone ever tried auto crossing? it is freakin great.

 

Is it possible to order a 6mt with Premium/Nav but no sunroof? I wondered that when I ordered, but never asked as they located the car and got it to me in 10 days.

 

^^ Premium package already includes the sunroof.

 

Thats what I'm saying...Can you get everything else minus the sunroof?

 

Premium package minus sunroof = not possible. Sorry.
