:gtfo2: a dealer actually said that to you??? Like in seriousness? Or did you ask a stupid question and you got a stupid reply? LOL

Salesman told me I could order a non-40th 370Z in the 40th Quartz color. I told him you couldn't, but he said they could definitely do it. I went ahead and told him to get me one......about 15 mins later he comes back and says they can't do it. :icon17:

i taught the guys at the local dealership how to use launch control on the 2013 GTR they had.....:wtf2:

the dealership owner also wanted to give me a job after i rattled off everything about the GTR and then the 370 while his salesmen were flipping through brochures frantically trying to keep up :bowrofl:

When I first started looking around, my request was simple. Base Coupe SP model. They have me drive a pearl white touring sport convertible. Then asked me what it would take for me to take that car home... Not happening. We go inside, there is a Nismo. "You want to try this one?" Face palm... Fast forward a year, same dealership, new salesman. Same request. Pearl white touring SP... right next to it was a base sport in black. We get back from the test drive and I say, write me up for that black one.

Some douche bag sales manager at a Nissan dealerhip in Riverside wanted to sell me a 2012 Solid Red 370z w/sport package and some nismo wheels for $47k OTD. I told him that the price is absurd and that I could get a NISMO for close to that price, he said..."Thats rediculous. The NISMO has a bigger engine". :facepalm: Wanted to slap that fool.

(I had a Maxima that was totaled and it sat at the dealershit, and they tried to sell me a new one, which I didn't mind)

So, they brought a white one and they guy, like every sales guy goes, clean CarFax, 1 owner... I do a quick walk around, feel the paint, and I noticed something not Kosher... Popped the hood, awesome, for SURE painted...
I told the guy, and of course, he says, CarFax CarFax!... (They REALLY love that dumb *** thing...)
I showed him the paint overspray on the door jamb and overspray on the battery, and asked "Oh, so this is the way cars are from the factory?" He thought I was retarded and brought the sales manager... Sales manager said, yep, it's been painted and got a little pissed that they bought a damaged car...

Next Maxima they brought... Guy says it's an SV (for non-Maxima people, S is BASE, SV is leather, foglights, turn signals on the mirrors, and home link?)
He brings it out, gunmetal and I said "Oh, so dealer added leather?"
"Oh no, this is factory"...
"Um... No... This is a base S with added leather, see the lack of foglights and mirror signals?"
"This is a special 2010 model, they offered just leather"
So since the manager was still hanging around waiting for me to see the second one. I asked if I could get a word with him privately. Brought him over to the car, showed him something and said... "Look your boy doesn't know a goddamn thing about these cars. I really doubt Nissan fúcked up the stitching" (the center console lid and the door panels are "leather" no matter what trim package you get, and the stitching is like browny-orange... The stitching on the seats was white... LOL!!!)
I also said, "by the way... Front bumper has been repainted, the rubber seal between the hood and the bumper is painted over"

He asked if I wanted a job or could teach their sales team how to ID their cars

Wow, was this Texas nissan???

Yessir, in Houston at Baker South... Short fat white guy was the crappy sales guy... Awesome tall black guy was the manager, lol

I pulled up into a dealership close to me, the salesman approaches me and I told him I was looking for the 370. I told him what I was willing to pay and he goes "well you know we have a new 2011 GTR in the showroom that im sure youd like"....
"I dont want a GTR"
"well if youre looking at at 370 you may as well take a look at it"
"NO, what makes you think I can afford a 100 grand car?"
"Well most people who want to buy 370's can afford GTR's"

WTF was wrong with him im thinking. So after the test drive (in the 370) I told him id think about it. I bought my 370 the next day from another salesperson.

More on that... I was having braking issues with my Maxima, they just wouldn't work... And I was involved with Nissan Corporate regarding it.
The dealership in Dallas said that because I had aftermarket foglights, "the ohmage of the ECU was out of spec and prevented the brakes from working"
I told that to my guy at corporate and he LAUGHED HIS ÁSS OFF, ("ohmage" isn't a word) he then called the dealership and told the manager to fire that service guy... Lo and behold... He doesn't work there anymore

I bought my car from Grapevine! well kind of......HORRIBLE IDIOTS THERE! I went looking for a car there. tried to sell me a full base model, noSP for $35k. I told them they were idiots. Went to Nissan of Mckinney where I bought my altima. Sure enough I told them what I wanted. They sent out to grapevine, picked up the same car I looked at there and sold it to be for $31k.

i've curious to see what happens when i got to get my clock spring (little part in steering column that passes electricity to the lights on steering wheel controls) replaced soon. my warranty on my 09 is still good til this september since it was on a dealer lot for so long :tup: win there. i'm hoping they dont have to pop the hood and see my intakes......or hear my 90% straight exhaust set-up when i'm coming in lol

And they will lie about your credit score to make you pay more. Just a horrible dealership. 6 people I know went there and walked out.

Then I went online to see what was the deal? 100+ similar complaints. I avoid that place like the plague.

Not stupid per say, but pretty cheezy. So, I've gone to a Nissan Dealership a few times to help out family members buying a car....and this scenario never fails. It's happened 4 different times at two dealerships with different salesman each time. They say the same exact thing, I kid you not.

Me: (checking out the Z in the showroom)
Salesguy: You look great in it, you should buy one...
Me: Already own one actually.
Salesguy: Well, you should get two..har, har,har,har....

Me: What's that center light between the exhaust tip do?
Salesguy: I'm not sure exactly, let me check on that for you....
Me: (lol)
