Nissan Rebate Question

Salsy1 · 10-20-2009, 04:39 PM

I am not buying a Z. I am not using the VPP program. I know I am out of luck when it comes to receiving the rebate.

Again:

What prevents the dealership from claiming the truck was sold a day or two earlier and keeping the rebate for themselves if the vehicle was delivered to the dealership during the rebate period?

I know you are not buying a Z and not using the VPP program. It is similar because you are getting $500 off of the sale tag while I get almost the same amount of off my invoice price with the VPP program. Different form of discount, but still a discount.

Like you said, you were afraid the dealer is going to screw you over because the rebate is already ended before you received your car. My dealer honored my VPP claim after the expiration date. So, ask your dealer if they will honor it for your rebate.

I'm not quite sure why you're asking then??

Rebates usually have specific cut off dates. Dealers can rarely, if ever, make exceptions there..

On the VPP, any dealer can do that deal any time. It's basically within a few bucks of invoice..

Thank you for the responses. I guess I haven't been very clear. My dealer did tell me that if the vehicle came in on the last day of the rebate, he could still get me the rebate even if we didn't sign the papers until the next day. What prevents them from doing the opposite and telling me the vehicle didn't come in on time (even though it did) and us completing the deal 2 or 3 days later (and the dealer keeping the rebate)?

I haven't paid for the vehicle yet. I don't expect to get the rebate if the truck truly never did show up and we close the deal after the cut-off date. However, if the above scenario is possible, I would have more negotiating power to take off the $500 from the selling price if I know it was true.
