Nissan VPP particpating companies

JunoonX · 01-27-2009, 10:31 AM

Just so everyone knows, it is up to the dealer to honor the VPP or not. Two (Feldman Imports - don't bother going here, and Luther Nissan) of the 4 dealerships here in the city of Minneapolis have declined to accept it.
I am working out a deal with the guys at Walser and did mention that there might be more from the forum who might be interested, so if we do end up with a good deal, then I'll post it on the forum.

Update: So the dealership "Feldman Imports" had a change of heart, and called me back asking what they could do to earn my business. I need VPP on my touring + sports + nav, while I won't pay more than 32k for the 2nd base + sports. Although, I didn't get my wish, but $38k for the full spec'ed touring sports nav version, while $32,450 for the base + sports.

It depends on your "plan"
There is a A. Plan, B. Plan, C. Plan, and D. Plan.
Most companies are D plans that are available to the claim number holder and their spouse. In order to have someone else use their VPP number they MUST be attached onto the paperwork for the purchase.

Plan A & B:
For employees of NNA and Affiliate-companies and their immediate family members.
Plan C:
For NNA and affiliate employee sponsored friends and extended family members.
Plan D:
For Business Associates of Nissan, companies listed in the first post.

For those who got VPP - did your dealer charge destination of $695? I am hearing that some dealers didn't charge destination.

WShade · 02-08-2009, 10:26 AM

Destination is always charged as it is a factory expense. For a dealer to say they are not charging destination is just part of the numbers game. Personally, $695 is not a deal breaker for me.

Is there a list of dealers by state/region that honor the VPP program. Also, could you take the VPP discount and the rebate if they offer it?

I don't think we do since it's dealer dependent meaning it depends on dealership. Some respect it while other don't.

You can go to Nissan USA - Nissan Cars, Trucks, Crossovers, SUVs, Hybrid and look at left lower corner. There should be a dealer locater. Put your zip code there and find all your nearest dealers. Then, just start calling them one by one and see which dealer offers VPP discount.

Hope this helps.

FYI: In Hayward, CA the Nissan dealer is a VPP vendor. For the NCAL/East Bay folks.

I agree. The deal I got from John Frederick at Ed Martin Nissan in Indianapolis was really good. No hassles and a very fair trade value for my car. I couldn't get near the deal in Cincinnati. I did qualify for VPP and may have paid a few dollars more but I'm happy.

BTW, Since picking up the car on 2/14 I have received 2 letters and 3 phone calls from the dealer checking to see if I was happy with the car. One thing that my come out of this economy is a return to customer service.

I just tried to fill out the VPP form. The 370Z is not listed as being eligible. Only the 350Z is present.

Just so you guys know.

WShade · 03-17-2009, 05:38 PM

- Eligible MY09 Nissan Vehicles: All released MY09 Vehicles except GT-R and Versa Sedan 1.6L Trims

That includes the 370Z. What form are you attempting to fill out?

MarcusMIA · 03-17-2009, 11:31 PM

Once you pick your company it brings you to a page where you pick the vehicle that you intend to lease or buy, so you can get a claim number. The 370Z is not among those choices. The link is in the first message of this thread.

I'm currently attending the University of Michigan - I saw the University of Michigan on the VPP list. Does this mean I could get VPP for attending the college? Or do I have to be an employee to get the VPP? Sorry if this is a newbie question...

It does not matter what vehicle you choose, just pick the 350 and take your claim form to the dealership. Happy shopping.
