East Coast Nissan Dealer - Wilson Nissan - Worst Experience Ever!
 

Hi everyone,

I just need to share this with my fellow enthusiasts on the East Coast, Connecticut to be exact.

As many of you may know already, I am in the market for a new 370z. I saw that Wilson Nissan had a new '11 model in stock which is already considered last years model. So I email the dealership asking if they have any clearance deals or any sort of promotions on '11 models. Todd Geffert, the worst salesman in the world, responded to me with the exact same price as listed on cars.com....How is this a promotion? anyway....

I asked him if there are any other incentives and I pointed out that other dealerships (which are sponsors on this forum), are having crazy sales but they are on the West Coast. And I also showed him a few links of where people bought last year model cars at a decent discount. Now he replies with an attitude how thats impossible and the dealerships can't possibly be losing 6-8k on each car. I told him that they are not and he has his numbers wrong because they would obviously not do that. Anyway long story short he keeps sending me nasty emails stating that what I am stating is impossible and that I'm just crazy.


Now, I shopped for cars before...I've owned 5 cars in the last 7 years...not to mention when I helped out my parents to get a good deal on their car and my fiancé's car, so I saw all the tricks and speeches...but this was just plain "smack in the face customer."


:shakes head: Sorry for the rant, and I'm not even sure if I posted this in the correct section (apologies in advance). Figured I would save someone a few hours of their life and the frustration of dealing with this clown.

what were you looking to pay for the car and what did the car list for??

sounds identical to the experience i had with a dealership in Delaware i went to just to see, sales ppl were horrible and attitude like you wouldnt believe, asked them to "show me the car fax" and they responded with " LOOK CAR FACTS ARE CLEAN, I DONT KNOW HOW THE CAR WAS DRIVEN, WE GOT IT FROM AN AUCTION."

Porter Nissan in Delaware. horrible ratings on web and in person.

so i feel your experience sorrow...

It was around 33.5k, and he wouldn't even budge. He refused to accept that this is an '11 model which should have some sort of a discount. Not to mention that I showed him plenty of links where people bought their cars at invoice and below invoice, he told me that it's impossible. He told me they had other packages, while they did not: just Base + Sport. I know a thing or two about the car I'm about to buy! And I wasn't looking for a magic number, just a decent deal.

Wow.. That's when you run from the car, unfortunately!

you aint kiddin. needless to say i didnt buy from them

It sucks that they wouldn't go down on the price, but to consider that the 'worst experience ever' is a stretch. They are in the business to make money. They don't need to sell it at a low price if they don't need to clear inventory. The only bad part is them constantly sending you emails. Just tell them to stop sending you e-mails.

This is exactly how they think. They dont stock Nismo's, if they do, its like 1 or 2 a season. They feel they dont need to sell it low because its a "special order" car and not something they "need" to move. But that nismo has been on the lot for a while now. I still think that $33,500 is a great deal on it...

lol already did... Even told him I will give him a bad rating on some popular dealer reviews and CC'd his manager... Bastard keeps them coming

That's the car I was talking to him about. I guess their price on their site is higher than what they are asking on cars.com... Not too smart.

Where in NY are you? I have a Silver 6 speed sport pckg- msrp 35460, forum special 30900!

In queens... Could you pleased PM your contact info?

Forum Sponsor to the rescue. :tup:

they are not all on the west coast. there's still some good guys on the east coast!

:worship:

Will swing by tomorrow

I'm here all day. 9am to 9pm! I'll get it cleaned tonight for you!!!!!!!!!!!! Need to sell 231 this month to hit 2100 new Nissans for the year and lock up 1st place in NYC!!!

I agree classic cars nissan in NJ where I got my Z is one of them. :tup:

Actually The 2011 Window sticker is $35430 and we were selling it for $32900

We do pride ourselves on our reputation and I do have a copy of every e-mail sent and recieved and at no point was the sales man rude or called you crazy.
So to try to purposely destroy our dealer repution because you didnt like the price quote is wrong and illegal.

You dont work 5 minutes from us and we have NEVER had a black Nismo parked out front. wrong dealership get the fact straight

Nothing wrong in this thread so far, but I can see it has potential for disaster. I'm happy to let it go on, just keep your discussion civil and factual. :tiphat:

The issue I have is the original post is NOT factual. I have copies of all of the e-mail communications.

It might be a bit more professional to admit there was some miscommunications and try to work with the OP to clear those up.

:: waits for response from OP ::

I just did a little thread "cleaning."
There is no need to egg them on, I'm sure they will both be adult and discuss it maturely. :tiphat:

My family has had good interactions with the Dodge section of the dealership when buying trucks. The white Z you were looking at has been on lot for a while. Now its inside next to a black cherry vert.
