Andy B., you missed the point. Out of several hundred Frontiers to choose from they could only find one manual. So while the manufacturer lists a manual they don't make enough to meet demand.

The dealer in Jersey set the price. Cost is proportional to need.

Finally, when you have a car transported you always pay for it. Car dealers don't do anything for free.

Around here, when a dealer trade is made, it is not only free, but they won't even let the buyer help in the pick up or delivery.

I've contacted a couple of dealers about what I want in a Subaru and to get my choice of model and color and manual transmission I have to order it. They do have manuals in stock, just not with much choice.

Same here. I'm picking up my new Tundra tomorrow and it's a dealer trade. They were just happy to make the sale, even if it was through Overstock.com and $3300 below invoice, (the gas-guzzlers just aren't moving right now).
