How to Find '08 Availability?

gocal73 · 09-24-2008, 10:18 AM

I'm considering buying an '08 rather than waiting to order an '09 since I'm not ordering I-Drive and there have been good deals on '08's reported at this site. My problem is finding manual transmission inventory. Is there a way to find out what's available without going through a dealer?
Before someone posts that there are no '08 manuals left, I saw three such cars at 2 local dealers last Saturday. Too bad 2 were black and one was a stripped Cham. Silver. I don't want black and I really want the Sport and Premium packages.
Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks.

I would check Auto Trader that will be your best place I'd think.

i found my car on cars.com. you can search new car inventories near your zip code, modify your search, etc.
