Where to buy in Houston?

HT Rambler · 08-06-2009, 06:07 PM

I brought mine from clear lake nissan, never intended to buy there just went there for test drive. The internet is your friend. I went on line after 2 weeks of researching the car, the night before i went shopping i sent the little questionaire deal to several dealers. One was in San Antonio (one of the top dealers) Told them what i wanted to spend , what i would pay per month, etc.... Of course only do this once you know fair market value etc... I left my number also, the next morning i had several calls , mossy, ingram , mcdavid , quite a few. I knew i was buying , but have not driven the car. so since i was back on my end of town i said why not go to clear lake and drive one??? Once you are there you know how they are.
I explained to the salesman what i wanted , and how much it should cost. They started the check with my manager game, i stood up told them that i had to get back to my business,wrote the numbers down on paper and told them if they could get close to call me, in the meantime i had 3 other peolple working deals. it took about 10 seconds for them to agree. i wrote my ss# on paper anmd told them to run my credit only if we had a deal. they had my car ready about 2 hrs. later. i finally picked it up on that Monday !!! Remember when buying a car YOU ARE IN CHARGE !!! Deals should come easy

Went to Baker Jackson myself. Dealt will Edward Jackson, the fleet manager, not one of the sales people on the floor. He gave me great service and let me see his invoice price on the car, ordered, got it in about 2 months. No problems. My credit union referred me to him and I told hims so. So he knew his rep was being involved. 1000 over invoice, ordered, and I was out of there in 30 minutes. NO BS

Tom peacock steve is the man great service . Before that i went to the other place wont mention names will just say jackson . The guy there that was supposed to be in charge of internet sales started telling me why i should buy there and that the other nissan dealers in town aren't as good as they are or that their prices always have hidden charges that you find out til the end. I felt sick when i left that place and did business with steve.

Sterling McCall was great to me, Stewart was the salesman.
I test drove 3 and then walked in and threw out $800 below invoice and they gave it to me $400 below.
Kinda slow service but the buying was easy.

I bought mine at Mossy and didn't have the greatest experience. They pretty much refused to give me any kind of deal and were very firm on their offer. I threw out a low price, they gave me their price and never went down from that after 2 hours of negotiating, very frustrating.

Since buying I've been back 3 times for various services (license plate install, locking lug-nut change, and oil change) and have been very impressed with their service department although they overcharge a little.

Go to Robins in Humble talk to DeAngelo and tell him David Whitley sent you.. he will give you the best price.. we shopped all the dealers none could or would beat the price.. We got a $42000 for $36700
