because the dealership owner may own a few dealerships and it's a deal coming from him only....incentive from owner not Nissan i'm assuming here....

ask for a Black on orange with touring/nav/sports......if they do it, just drive in and drive out with a new Z...lol...has to be a same day deal for this to work.

:iagree: Some sort of scam just to get you in the door. Dealers, as a general rule, don't stay in business doing deals like this..

Let's just see what ejrives tells us when he gets back.

Interesting! fwiw , Im in STL and it's one of your competition dealers in Hazelwood....still kinda kicking myself in the pants for going through them

Anyways, I've scheduled an appointment later this week. I'll keep everyone posted. They weren't allowed to talk about it on the phone at all , which makes it more of a gimmick in my mind. I'm thinking their marketing company screwed up because "sales" like this are generally the dealership hunting for two year old cars.

Sorry Semtex no hidden oil coolers :rofl2:

FuszNissan 06-22-2009 03:18 PM

Interesting.
There is retro money on a select few cars. I am sure they have a big bogey to hit the cash. But it's only on Nissan. It's on
Altima/Altima Coupe
Maxima
Rouge
Murano

I am curious to see how they handle this. Becuase I am confused, and I do this for a living. Unless he is qouting the biggest incentive/discount there is and trying to lure you in with it....funny how he didn't really explain anything either.

This is definitely something fishy. I know there is some major volume incentives going on right now. My girlfriend is looking for a crossover and I took her to a dealership to look at a Murano. The sales manager said he would sell it for invoice, minus the rebates and incentives, and minus their holdback. He needed to move cars to hit that bogey.

Yep I got the same call, same dealer. I'm certain none of it is useful on the Z though...let me know if you find out otherwise!!!

Oh, and the important part -- it's a recording, not a real person, it just goes out to everyone in their database I'm sure, they don't know whether you have a Z or an Altima

Interesting, sounded real to me. I'm still going in-- who knows , maybe I'll get a good laugh for the day at minimum.

When you get there, remember to keep the mouth closed so the hook doesn't go all the way down the throat. Trust me he will be using 10k pound test line and a net to land a big one like you.

The whole thing is:bs:

oh, I'm fully aware. Luckily , my job involves lots of numbers. Those F&I guys don't scare me at all. I actually caught a "mistake" in their favor for $500 when I purchased initially.

Anyways, this is more of a reputation test than anything. I'd like to at lest be able to say don't buy from these shitbags to the other members on here.



I don't plan on buying anything unless it's some insane, crazy deal and even then it's like a 2% chance. I <3 my Z!

I call :bs: by the dealer

...unless you have a GTR engine lurking under your aluminum bonnet

Hehe it reminds me of when we were selling my wife's Sunbird (more than happy to see that go :) I get a call from a local dealership saying they saw my add and they had someone who wanted to buy the car. I thought hey what the heck maybe it would be a quick sell and the dealer could make a little easy money too. So I set up a meeting to see the dealer and the guy offers me less than half of what I was asking for the car (which by the way was a lot cheaper than they were on the lot of course). I was furious that this guy had just wasted an hour of my time and felt like a sucker for thinking that a car sales man had anything but their intrest in mind and couldn't care less if they were wasting my time.

Be sure to unleash the fury if they mess with ya....

I actually came out ahead on a scam like that. I bought a used 2003 350Z with ~50,000 miles in the fall of 2006 for $15,000. The next summer the dealer I had service done at called and said they would give me $15,500 in trade on a 2007 Z. :) I realize it didn't really come out to a gain after TTL, but it was good enough reason to get me to jump on a new car.
