Crap dealer...

Educ8r

I went to the same dealership that sold my 06 350. I explained to the salesman I wanted red with Touring & Sports. They only had a black base and he explained that they would be getting 10 in today and there would be a red with Touring & Sports

The price he quoted for my trade made me chuckle. I told him there was no way I would let my car go for what they offered. So the "secret" trips start back and forth with the sales manager. Finally the sales manager came in and... blah blah blah, you know the story. Before he could finish I grabbed my keys and left.

After going to another dealership and returning home with my 370Z, I get a call from the first dealership. The salesman said, "Well I'm still trying to get what you want for your car, go ahead and come in tomorrow (which is today) and you can test drive the RED one. Trying not to sound smug I said, "Oh thanks for the call, but I just got home from Mossy with my new car!" There was a pause and he said, "Is it red?" I said, "Yes...[click]

IDIOTS! By the way my salesperson at Mossy is a woman.

Excellent!
It happened to me the same when I was trying to get my 350z. The first dealer didn't want to give me a deal with my trade in. I went to another Nissan Dealer in the Area, which is the one that I will recommend to anybody, great customer service and good relations after the sell;
Well the point is, I got my 350z from that 2nd Dealer, and the next day I went to the 1st Nissan Dealer and saw the manager, (who was the one that didn't want to give me a deal and even told me, that I wasn't a potential buyer.... I was 23 at that time), and I ask him that if I was able to do regular maintenance to my new 350z, and looked me like I don't believe you. And you know what was the first STUPID thing that came out from his mouth? That 350 that you have, was previously crashed... what a moron.

Go to the dealer that didn't want to deal with you a go with the same stupid question about maintenance, just to show them that you were a potential buyer.

Same thing happend here sorta...I offered a pay stub and everything and the dealer still told me that they have to come to an agreement on the price of the car prior to test driving any cars. I hope I don't get flamed for this, but I couldn't think of a polite way to respond besides thinking that the car is no $300,000 Ferrari...it's a $38,000 Nissan...

Needless to say at the end of the month I am going back (when they get the one I want in) and talk prices so I can at least test drive. It's one thing when somebody wants to drive the car and has nothing to show for, but when you are offering pay stubs and proof you can purchase the car there is no reason whatsoever that I or any other possible Nissan customer should not be allowed to test drive before purchase and told prices must be settled prior to.

I will not be going back to my dealer. I will just find one that treats me like a future customer and lets me test drive the car and also does not mark it up $3000 above MSRP.
