its not about the brand, its about the salesman you deal with it.

the GTR is too awesome to give up on

That's where I disagree. At the end of the day, Nissan Corp hires these dealer managers, who hire these idiot sales guys. It's a top down issue. And good luck trying to call Nissan corp, I've been redirected all day via the switch board, people dont know where to transfer my calls, etc etc. BS.

You are right about the GTR, my favorite car of all time (R32, 34, etc). My dream car.

true, it would be unfair to the other nissan dealers that actually are nice and worthwhile to do business with.

Show me one. I'll fly anywhere in the US to find em. I already wasted 50+ hours with this one - show me a stellar sales staff and nissan dealer in the 48 states.

yah, i cant see myself in a stang either. just not my cup of coffee (or burger).

Some do look sharp though. I dont know, I just think an EVO or STI might be in the cards. Heavily tuned. We'll see.

Oh, I completely agree with you. I'm just saying, this guy would try to do this to you whether he's selling Nissans, Fords, Kias, or Lambos. It's the sales staff of that dealership that would lose my patronage from here to eternity.

It's things like that which are the reasons I eschew some of my local dealerships.

Indeed. It's sad.

sorry, but thats not true. every dealership has an owner, or owning company. Nissan has no say whatsoever about who runs the store. The only thing they can do is penalize them, concerning bonuses and inventory.

Ok you're probably right. I don't know **** about the structure of the dealerships. Still, I think Nissan Corp should be making sure all GTR sales are a league apart from traditional sales within their dealerships - they should have protocol in place to enforce it happens.

You know the sales guys AND techs have to got training; both to sell and to service. Paul must have been asleep during class ...

they do, but you were looking at a preowned one. Preowned recieves no real oversight from corporate

FWIW, Nissan dealers are independently owned and operated. You can't judge Nissan or the quality of their products by the salesman (or the dealership) for that matter.

Ok, maybe you dont understand what I'm saying: Nissan DOES NOT OWN NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. Therefore, they have NO hiring OR firing power. The only thing they can do is penalize the dealership, by taking away bonuses or inventory. That's it. This is not a debate or an argument, this is a fact in America. That's why there's such variance when it comes to salespeople in car dealerships, and that's why there's no unified pricing between the dealerships.
