South Florida Z Dealer - Invoice+Great Finance Rate

6spd · 10-26-2009, 06:08 PM

I want to acknowledge Maroone Nissan of Ft. Lauderdale for their AWESOME service, especially Locksley Thorpe who accepted my email offer and finalized everything through email in under 2 hours. It was the smoothest dealer experience ever. If you live in South Florida and are looking for a Z, go to Locksley. The experience was very quick and painless, even for a dealership. If you do, tell them I sent you and they send me $100 if you buy!

I ended up getting the car (2009, base manual, white, sport pack., floor/trunk mats, splash guards) for invoice, getting more than I anticipated for my trade, and even getting 4.99% financing, better than my local bank at 5.25%! I highly recommend this dealer.

I also want to thank the rest of the board members for posting their prices and how they got the best deal! I learned quite a but and was able to make the most of this purchase.

great feedback.
Just FYI, with new car, a dealership always offer lower interest rate than a bank since they want to sell their cars. And 4.99% is often offered to a decent credit score buyer so it's not really the lowest.
But congratulation on your purchase!

My dealer went from 4.99% to 4.05%, to 3.99% in the matter of 2 hours. Every time it was, "this is the best we can do!".

I have superb credit, but I'm only 21, so 4.99% is pretty good in my book, but I'm sure people can get lower.

Your deal is all that matters. There's always gonna be somebody that payed 5 bucks less than you and got a .5% better rate.

GJ being responsible at 21. I'm 26 and I'm sure glad that I started being responsible around that age. Good credit and having your finances in good shape have limitless value.
