Most Stupid Thing Heard From a Nissan Dealer

Ghostvette

I've had more than my share of idiot sales people, most of them dealt with domestic vehicles. Before I bought my Z (@CarMax), I went to several car dealers trying to decide what I wanted. CarMax didn't bat an eyelash at letting me drive cars; I asked, they got the keys and away we went. The Chevy dealer in Independence balked at letting me drive a Corvette, yet let an 'older' gentleman try to back out a MT Corvette from it's parking place. Idiot killed it 6 times in 15 feet. The Chevy dealer in Overland Park refused to let me drive an 08 Z06, said "I wasn't qualified." I saw the guy that wouldn't let me drive the Vette after I got the Z, when I went to Hendrick Nissan to get touch up paint. He said "Hey, you wanna trade that Z in on a Vette?" My response was "You want to go eff yourself? You are the idiot that wouldn't let me drive the Z06. I won't be buying anything from you." I have no patience for salespeople. Don't bs me and don't play games. I make games for Milton Bradley...

There is so much win in the last few sentences. Good for you..I would've told him the same. I believe there are some situations where a person is entitled to be a **** to someone.

Went to a Ford dealership to test drive a Mustang GT before I bought the 370Z.

Salesman told me he had to reverse it out of the display area, located in the front of the dealership and then on to the street before I could drive it.

Here's where the fun started. It was a 6mt and he had no idea how to drive a stick, but tried anyway. Grinded the gears, went forward (almost hitting a wall), instead of back, then killed it. He sat in the drivers seat with a dumb founded look, now sweating profusely. I told him to just let me do it and I won't tell anyone. LOL, just whole 370Z community.

It's just too bad I didn't want to buy it as I probably could have gotten a really good price from this guy.

I've been buying Nissans from the same salesman and dealership since 2003 (6 cars). He doesn't even try to sell me anything anymore, he just shows me what I ask him for. Last time I asked him a question about a car (not a Z), he looked at me funny and said: "You know these cars better than I do! Why are you asking me?" We both had a laugh.

Took my Z in to a Chevy dealer to see what they would give on a trade in for a Grand Sport. They came back with $26K. I said no thanks and started walking out the door. They said the reason it was so low was because the new 1,000 HP GTR was coming out this year and once it did my car was going to lose a lot of value. I almost laughed in the guy's face.

axmea?

Not the most stupid and quite the contrary, two comments by the dealer:

"It's free, you can have it" --- after I asked for 5 oil drain plug gaskets at the parts counter. At Summit Racing, they cost $5.25 (clue - don't buy from them).

the other, "Nice Z" ---- I'm sure they say this to all owners.


Have a great weekend.

LOL. When they saw the blue Z, they knew they had to mess around with you. you're in their computer in the notes section. Every dealer punches your name in the system and they say, Oh, it's this guy.

That is possible. It wasn't Fontana though.


When I go to Fontana like 5 of the guys come out and "awwww, what happened?"... "Nothing, oil change," lol

Those guys love... I think... Love me there, and I try to be good to them, bring donuts and stuff.
I can literally tell who is new because the guys who have been there for 6+ months ask "What is it in for NOW?" vs "What are you bringing your car in for?"

I don't understand...what's your point here?

The transmission is now integrated within the engine block, which is where the extra two cylinders come from

Went to Regal Nissan the other day to grab some spare touch up paint. I pull in and a younger salesman came up and told me he just had to talk to me because of the car. Apparently most of the guys have never seen the SR Nismo. He asked about my exhaust and other mods.

I knew they had a brand new white 2014 Nismo on sale but he said it just sold that morning. I walk up to a group of salesmen just standing around. I asked if they had any Nismos for sale. They just kind of stared at me. "Yeah...there is one back there, silver." Oh is it a 2014?? "Yep". So dismissive. Turns out it was a silver 2013. A customer was checking it out and we started chatting. "The 2014 model is amazing". Yeah this isn't a 2014... "Well that's what the salesmen told me". No its a 2013 trust me. A 2014 has blah blah blah. "No I'm pretty sure this is a 2014 just a different edition". I quit and walked off.

I received a call from on of those 800 number yesterday, it was a female from Nissan, wanting to know why I had not had my Nismo serviced yet, it is 10 months old. I told her that it only had 1100 miles on it, not time for an oil change yet, and she suggested that I at least bring it to my local dealership and have them rotate the tires! I told her they could not be rotated, and I dont think she ever understood why even after I hung up on her !

"Slotted rotors will fix your warped rotor problem"-Service manager.

*500 miles later, slotted rotors warped to hell, pads look great, no heat-spots, Nissan NA involved*

"I never said that. I would never advise non-Nissan parts on a new Nissan vehicle!"--Same service manager.

That dealership would have a lot of sweet gas in their new cars the following morning if anyone would pull that with me.
