Devastated!! Seeking Advice

Zpoint · 06-02-2010, 10:12 PM

** Update **
I ended up getting my deposit back from the dealership where I ordered my Z (both times!) on May 20th. Kudos to Joe @ KoeppelNissan for doing what I thought was impossible, that is locating the exact car I wanted. By some miracle, I threw a "hail Mary" to another local dealership and they located another match that is scheduled to arrive on June 4th at another dealership a few hours from here. As much as I wanted to give Koeppel my business, picking the car up locally and saving myself a 400 mile trip was more appealing.

What I found surprising was that two of these cars popped up in the past few weeks. Understand that I have been casually browsing dealer stock on Cars.com, Ebay and the local dealerships for nearly two years now hoping to get a closer look at the car I wanted (kept tabs on 2009's and 2010). All of this while my two orders were being processed. I can count on one hand how many times I saw the car I wanted. I would have bet $$$ that any search would turn up zilch and that I would have to attempt a third order but fate smiled on me and I had two options to snag the car I wanted in a matter of days.

NissanUSA.com shows "my" car as being in stock at the nearby dealership. I know it's actually in transit and should land on Friday, or so my dealer tells me. With any luck, my local dealership can transport it here a few days afterward and that it will be in my garage early next week :-) Here's hoping that fate smiles on me this time!

Dude. That's horrendous. You made Koeppel do all that work and then took your business to another dealership? You're no better than the guys at the dealership that screwed you over. Puke.

????? I followed the advice of many forum members and contacted not only Lou Fusz & Koeppel Nissan but also a different local dealership in an attempt to see if *any* match for my car would turn up. Two of these came back successfully within the same day and I chose the one that worked best for me. An hour or so of searching for a car versus 21 months of promising me a car/ordering twice does not equal screwed over.

Well then in my opinion you should have contacted your local dealer first if your first preference would have been to buy from them. I don't care if you think wasting an hour of someone's time is no big deal. These people are in business to do business. The dealer that you tried to buy a car from didn't act in good faith and neither did you.

First of all, I'm not your bro. Second of all, "steroids" doesn't have an apostrophe in it. Third of all, you're a mouth-breathing idiot.

That is all.

My apology's sir. I was not aware of the intensity of this thread. My action's were unprofessional and juvenile. I still feel that you should reduce your usage of steriods though. That is all.
