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.

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

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

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". Wanted to slap that fool.

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???

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.

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.

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)
