Anyway, I call to inquire... $11,000 off the sticker price. $42,000 down to $31,000. So far so good.

Ask dealer for lease payment. Looking for 0 down 36 month, 12000 miles a year and I'm pre-approved by Nissan credit for way more than what this should cost. I give the salesman my Nissan finance confirmation number so I don't get my credit dinged. Salesman says they will have their finance manager get me numbers...

Three hours later, get a text for FINANCING numbers. I explain once again that I want LEASE numbers. He apologizes and says he'll get back to me...

An hour later he sends over lease numbers starting with $2000 and going up to $6000 down... I explain again that im not putting anything down, it's a lease! He says he'll get back to me.

1.5 hours later he sends me lease numbers with 0 down... looks enticing until I notice the lease is for 10,000 miles a year ansld not the 12,000 I need... I text him back...

Finally get his number and it's $120 a month more than what their payment calculator says... I ask why...

Finally was told that "they take care of their own first" I ask what that means? Loyal Nissan buyer? Someone who has bought from your dealership before? My skin color? My religion?

He hung up...

Take care of their own? WTH

My neighbor had one of these. His dog would chase the ball down and bring it back to him to put it back in. He finally gave up and threw the ball himself. Was pretty cool tho!

After much kicking and screaming, went to visit my Nissan dealer in person. Pull up and there are at least 5 salespeople standing outside the door waiting to pounce...

Bottom line is after almost 3 hours, my best option was buying a stripped down Altima for $30,000.

I don't want to hear chit about how nobody is buying cars. I need a shower.... 🙄

Next up, going to try Mazda.

We were going to lease a new car for the wifey. The numbers that they advertise on TV is no where close to what the dealer is saying. We ended up buying a car.

Yea, no joke.. I'm still hoping someone will come to their senses and realize I just want to rent a car for a couple of years. All I want to do is kick the can down the road for a couple of years.

So far, so good on the mazda. We're close...

You have to do what's best for you. Despite what the fake news reports, it all depends on a person's individual situation. Feds won't be cutting rates anytime soon, but that doesn't mean people should put their lives on hold.

Still working on the Mazda deal. My post was misleading. I didn't buy anything, that's what they offered. A stripped out Altima for $400 a month - 72 months. Thanks, but no thanks!

The fact that he had to "get back to you" multiple times would have made me go to another person. If people stall/pause/hesitate/stumble their words/need to "get back with you" or otherwise give you some bullsh!t response, it's usually because they need to come up with a gameplan to their benefit, esp. when their math and numbers don't add up. At the end of the day, they need to sell a product and you are wanting that product. If I was in sales, I would rather cut the bullsh!t and save time and work on 3 deals in that timeframe vs wasting time and working on 1.

It's infuriating. I even gave them an out. I told them how much wanted to spend and tell me what you want to sell me. They wouldn't even do that.
