Another one that was AWESOME...
(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

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.

That dealership is known for posting rock-bottom prices online then you go in and they claim there are mistakes in pricing. They try to add to the Z msrp and other popular models. 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.

Thats exactly what they did with me. Online price said $31.5k. I walk in and they give me an offer on my altima. Basically paid off, no negative equity and i say deal. Bring me the paperwork for the Z and it says 35k on it. I bring up the ad online and their response is "Oh well that price is for 1st time buyers with no trade-in." I asked if they really expected a first time buyer to buy the Z. Took me about 10 mins to realize how stupid they were. I asked them for the VIN and left. Went to Mckinney 2 days later and when they brought it over, matched VINs. They asked if I wanted to test drive it and I told em I already had 2 days earlier lol. Only had 22 more miles on it from when I left and I assume it was from the drive from Grapevine to Mckinney lol

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
