It took me over a year to find a used 6MT Sport coupe. I just checked on autotrader.com and saw that there are only two available within 200 miles of my home. It seems like they are a rare breed. Does anyone have the production numbers on these cars from their introduction in 2008?

 

They're not rare everywhere. You must live up north or out in the sticks. They are more plentiful in the south. The same search within 200 miles of me showed 13, although 2 of them listed are incorrectly listed as sport models when they are actually Journeys. At dealerships of course.

 

I guess I'd be considered for "out in the sticks" in Kentucky, but even 11 cars available in 200 mile radius in your "neck of the woods" can't be considerd plentiful. The car has been in production for 5 years. The local dealership has sold 5 MT's since the beginning of this year.

 

I'm in Kentucky and I just searched within 200 miles and I got five. Four were actually a sport though. When I bought my 08 in 11 I had to buy it from Florida and have it hauled up here without physically seeing it.

 

I'm in Louisville. I found one other 6MT at Swope about 6 months ago, but it wasn't the sport. I left the dealership and returned about an hour later and the car was sold. I couldn't believe it sold that quickly.

 

When I was buying my car, there were only 4 6mt's in all of SoCal. All silver.

 

Here in SoCal it took me about 3 months to find my G with the options I wanted including the MT....and when you find one you might have to pay a little "premium" getting the MT vs AT.

 

When i was searching for mine 2 months ago I couldnt find black on black 6mt. But then again im in NY. Finally found it and im Super happy with it

 

How much did you pay for it/mileage?

 

It took me from October 2012 to July 2013 to find my 2008 6mt S package

I went from central NJ to Auburn GA for it with a one way plane ticket.

2008 G37S 6MT 1 owner, clean title, garage kept, mint, 21,000 miles forrrr $24,500 bucks

Only thing i dont have in the car is nav / back up cam

 

for every 100 G' coupes I used to build at the dealership, I would say only 5 of them were built in a 6mt. it depends on production availability as well. there are certain points they concnetrate on building auto's because they tend to sell faster to the general public.

 

So your personal sales experience is that about 5% of the of G37s you sold were 6MT. What about sedans?

 

I sent an inquiry to Infiniti and this is what they sent me:

I can't believe that these numbers are proprietary, what gives?

 

I have a 2013 sedan Sport 6mt and I live in Nashville. To get the closest black on black was in Florida I believe that was new. So I'm willing to bet for the sedans it's even less than 5%.

 

I'm in Houston, I wanted to get a 2010-2012 6mt. I think there were 2 in Houston out of ~200 or so coupes in that range. I had to drive to Dallas to find a black one. I didn't specifically want an IPL, but I'm damn happy it was the only car available!
