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.
Which dealership did this happen at? Henderson tried to scam me for a couple thousand dollars, so I left and bought my mb base at desert.

Both at Henderson Nissan. Process was simpler for me though. VPP pricing was available so it was a set price when I walked in, I just had to notify them of that benefit. Car went from $36,700 to like $32,400. I also asked $6,000 for my 03 325i with 115,000 miles (strippo for a BMW), They gave mr $5,500. I also didn't want to start paying for four months. So my payment was deferred until then. Being deployed at the time, my interest rate was dropped from 8% to 4% and the bank hasn't changed the rate back since I returned. They had my orders and everything. I also didn't pay taxes on the car because I was deployed. So I made out well. When my Wife rolled in, she wanted to look at the Maxima and they kept pushing her towards an Altima. But she insisted on the Maxima. They were apprehensive because her score was only about a 620 and she rolled in with a Versa. She has me call her so she can beg me to let her buy it. I ask the typical questions and then ask to speak to the salesman. He realizes I'm deployed and Military, so he says he can get her in the car for 1.9% using the VPP program. There wasn't anything taken off the price of the car, but our payments are nearly identical and hers was $34k. She also got $11,000 for her Versa. I tried to explain that she can get it tax free but they didn't believe me and she didn't want to fight it or she would have paid a few thousand less. Her deal wasn't perfect, but it wasn't like we went in there fist fighting. She loves her car though. It's been reliable.

I was curious about the BRZ and so one of my sons and I made a trek over to the Subaru dealer to see if we could drive one.

Upon our arrival, we were immediately accosted by a sales person who was very eager to help. No BRZ's were on the lot -- each one they got sold immediately, as he explained. I asked him if there was a chance he could call me when one was available for a test drive and he said "Sure, give me $500.00 to hold one for you". I laughed out loud because I honestly thought he was kidding, but he was serious.

He then went on to regale me with the BRZ's available AWD. I looked askance at him and told him they are all RWD. He said "No, they are not, some are AWD." We turned around and went back to my car.
I'll give him $500, but ask him to ONLY get me an AWD to test, if he cannot bring in a AWD for any reason, he gives you that $500 PLUS another $500 for wasting your time. See will he take the deal.
