Angry Dealership can't find White/Red IS350 F Sport?!

So my primary car (Infiniti G37 Coupe) has been sold privately and the new owner is picking it up tomorrow.

I had already planned on an White/Red IS350 F Sport. I even have all of the mods I want priced and ready to order. I went to the dealership (which will remain nameless, for now) back and forth getting the best deal I could and had to pass one up a month ago because my current primary car didn't sell. So when I had a serious buyer, I put a refundable deposit of $500 down to secure the vehicle. The problem is they can't get their hands on one. I find it so hard to believe that they can't get one in! My heart is dead-set on that color combo. So now I have to rent a car until they can secure one, or I'll have to start looking into other cars. UGH!

Anyone know of any dealerships in the tri-state/Philadelphia area that could help me out in finding one?

I know there are some dealers/salesmen on these forums somewhere.

its a hot color combo. hard to find in the northeast apparently. when i got my car in november '13 dealership said it was the last one coming into the east coast until january. guess its still hard to find now. check websites like auto trader and true car they give you an update on dealer inventories. but who knows if its really accurate

I traveled to Georgia back in November to find that combo with RWD. $300. plane ticket and the deal was in line with what others were paying . Just a thought-expand your radius.

OP is in PA. That would be one hell of an expansion. However As afdavey has mentioned, a regional expansion of search may do the trick. I have purchased vehicles in the past from outside of my immediate area and have flown to pick the vehicle up and drive it back home. In your case, looking for something that is rare, the additional time and cost may be worth it to get what you want. Good luck!

It's definitely a hot colour combo, I was really lucky to get one. Managed to to find one right as it was shipped from the factory. Best of luck with your search!

I took it upon myself to find one. It turns out there was a (semi)local dealership that had one but was unwilling to trade it to the dealership I was going through. They are even going to pick me up today since my G is selling this afternoon.

Things are falling into place. I was freaking out for a little bit! haha

Thanks for your help and advice guys! Time to get my deposit back.
