So Today I had a very bad experience with a bad Nissan dealership here in Rockville,MD. Yesterday as I was searching for 370z I went to the nearest Nissan dealer which is Rockville, here in my home town. I saw 4 Z cars in the lot, after looking online in dealer inventory. I didn't have a lot of time since I had to get to work so I just looked at them quickly. Today I called the dealership to arrange a test drive for tomorrow. As soon as I got in touch with a sales I asked about scheduling a test drive. The sales immediately told me that he didn't have any 370z for test drive. he only had one in the show room and he wasn't going to let me test drive it. I asked if it was for sale and he goes the showroom car is not. I'm guessing that's a valid answer, but I continued and told him, I saw 4 Z cars in the lot and they didn't seem to be marked, or have anything that indicated that they were for other customers. I then told him I would call at a later time when he got more into inventory. Since the dealer is 7 mins away I drove there after work, Im in a pretty respectable attire.

And I went up to look at a Silver Z inside the showroom. I looked around for help and no one wanted to help me. Maybe it's because I'm young and that the fact that I had a respectable amount of Down money that didn't catch their attention. So On my ways out I see this sales person with an Older gentleman he must be about 50 looking at a Z. If I don't have to I never want to give these guys any business. I made a call to another place 10 miles away and they just got in more Z the sales was very nice and wanted to even come in on his day off tomorrow to take me on a test drive. I can't believe they are places like this Nissan dealer in Rockville, In this bad economy. Do they Not wanna sell cars?
The main point you learned here is that some dealers want to make sales. Others don't.

Go to the ones that want to make the sale, give you the best deal, and treat you like an old friend...

The first dealer I went to, didn't give two ***** about me, the fact I already had gone through getting financed and was ready to buy *today* for invoice.

A while later they come back with a price, that's not invoice. I thanked them for spending a lot of my time, told them to call my cell number if they change their mind, and that I was going to go to the next dealer on my list.

That happened, and an hour later I was signing papers at the next dealership.

I've thought about driving over to the other dealer and telling them they f'd up, but why bother...
