Did I just get ripped off? What should I do?!

true, so far tons of dealers have lied...it's quite common now
and it's quite common they will scratch the whole car during every service also, it's a free service they provide.

I remember reading something about a 3 month limit. So if the car isn't in my hands in 3 months from ordering is there something I could possibly do then?

the dealership lied and your mad at nissan? that doesnt make sense. if anything, its no fault but your own for lack of research. everything you need is on the net....with that said, i wouldnt sweat it.

No, the dealership lied and I'm mad at the dealership. I understand that research is research. But human dignity is something too. I don't mind paying sticker (i didn't) for a sports car and they could add on every type of fee they wanted to - as long as it's a standard fee. That's all I really asked from the dealer and they couldn't do it. I hate to see the day I lose all my faith in ppl, Maple Nissan got me THAT much closer.

btw if anyone wants to know the name of my dealer feel free to PM me.

They make it standard at their dealership perhaps, but it's not a national thing. Dealers are always looking for "upgrades" to tack on, and one of the tricks they do is to tell you that add-on X is already installed and cannot be removed. They know that they are going to fool most people with this ploy, but they also know that they are going to lose out occasionally. You may have paid a deposit, but negotiate and see where you can get.

I know for a fact that some1 from this forum bought one from the same dealer w/o the fee (which bugs the hell out of me). It was that same person and thread I read to NOT buy into the added fee. But I do understand what you're saying as well though.
