Default Philadelphia Nissan Dealers

I went into a dealership last weekend not knowing the invoice of the particular car I was looking at. They first asked for retail and I snickered, and said no way will I go that high. I made an offer that I now know was 1500 over the invoice. The car had 33 miles on it and had a very strange scratch on the left quarter panel, (it looked like a 4 inch rake attacked it.) Anyway, I shot my load with my offer and I don't t plan on going back.

Has anyone had a good experience with a dealership in the Philadelphia area?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a bad experience with O'neil Nissan where I bought my car so I switched to Colonial

They are decent

They are tracking a 370z for me. I had my injen Exhaust installed there so they are OK in my opinion

Try them They are on the web and are in Feasterville (NE Philly)

I ordered mine from Bred Beans of Doylestown. I know it's not Philly but not too far from it though. It's worth the commute, I think.

Check out my thread, where I discussed the negotiation.

Thanks fellas, I got two responses after I secured the Z. I just locked up a 6 speed Black/Grey Touring Sport w/Nav. an hour ago.

I am to pick up said vehicle on the 31st. I bought it at Drexel Hill Nissan from an old sales manager that I used to sell for.

Nice, good stuff man.

Hey man, I used to live in Horsham. I moved to Quakertown (temporarily) this past summer. However, I work in Horsham, right off of Blair Mill Rd...next to the UPS distribution center. Perhaps some day in the near future, after I get mine (sometime in May), we could meet up and check out each others cars.

Yea man definitely!!!

A 6 speed Black/Grey Touring Sport w/Nav. earlier this afternoon.

I got the car for a few bucks over invoice and a very fair price for my trade.
The best part was we never even talked about monthly payments even though I said I was not sure if it would be a cash deal or finance the purchase. I called him when I got home to get the monthly payment.

It was funny as sh@t, when I walked in to see him sitting behind the desk, it felt like old times at the Nissan dealership I used to work for. We both hated the old dealer and left on bad terms. That dealership was Montgomeryville Nissan, both of the dealerships I am referring to are in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

I know what you mean about Montgomeryville Nissan. It was one of the dealerships that I checked out as well. I did not like their service AT ALL. My test drive was literally around the block...like around that stone quarry. On top of that, they were really stubborn about their price. The sailsman didn't really know much about the car, the different packages, etc. It turns out that I knew more about it than him, thanks to the370z.com....thanks AK and everyone else who contributes to this furom.

Where I wound up ordering mine from, Fred Beans, my test drive was like 15-20 minutes. The salesman was super cool. He said "go wherever you want." So I took it on a near by expressway. He also knew the car inside out. So it was nice to deal with a competent person.

DL, when I worked at Montgomeryville it was a circus......we had two salespeople that were facing felony gun charges, did VIN window etching, only focused on monthly payments, had crazy promotions like a money grab booth, filled mainly with singles. Our job was to fleece & gouge every customer we came in contact with.
