Went to Habberstad today, just because they are the nearest dealer to me, and test drove a Monterey Blue Manual Touring. I was disappointed that I didnt get a chance to test the synchro-rev in a sports package, but it was still incredibly fun. As soon as I pulled out onto Jericho Tpke, an STi pulls up next to me and wants to run! Obviously I didnt go for the bait, but thought it was interesting how much attention the car demands. Anyway, I told them I was looking to buy in early April and they didnt jump down my throat or anything, was in and out of there in just 30 minutes so I was pleased. I am sure I will visit there next month when I am ready to buy. Thanks all for the contributions and such, if theres more info to share I would love it, can never be too informed when entering the shark tank!


New here, 1st post.. I think I bought that Monterey Blue Touring you drove at Habberstad. Black interior with light grey seats, right?

Just a quick input on Ramsey Nissan's shop.... if you have obvious warranty work to be done, they'll do a good job (though they did forget an exhaust bracket on my pathfinder so I had a huge rattle until my local guy said "Hey, I put on that missing exhaust bracket for you.... no charge" Love the local guys!

But.... if you have an issue like mine in the Pathfinder... the spark wasn't strong, the exhaust was running so rich you could smell the gas from a mile away... I took it in.
They said they couldn't find anything wrong.... BECAUSE THERE WAS NO F'IN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON and there was nothing they could do!

So..... had my local guy look at it... he replaced some spark plugs and coils and blammo, runs like a champ with nice clean exhaust.

This type of thing happened more than once with them.... so beware. They must be under huge pressure to just do things that make them the most money.

DCH Freehold Nissan was great!!
I went to Manhattan Nissan first. They didn't know VPP program at all...
Then, tried East Coast Nissan. This is the worst dealer I have ever dealt with. They said they have the car I wanted in upstate NY and demanded a non-refundable deposit.

The even showed me the inventory list of the dealer in upstate to convince me to put the deposit. While they were running my credit check and prosessing the deposit, I pull the inventory list and saw the name of the dealer (the name was blacked out but it was see-through...and this is just for my curiosity).

They told me that they'll get me the VIN# and interest rate by the end of the day (needed this to get my car loan from my bank). They never called me and I called them but no response.

I went back to the dealer next day and asked whether the car is available for a swap and its VIN. The said the dealer in upstate didn't call back and yada yada yada.

I felt this is a little weird, so I called the dealer in upstate............They said they already sold the car about a week ago. Furthermore, the sales manager kindly informed me that they never received a call from East Coast....WTF??

I went back to the dealer and asked what's going on. The told me that I called the wrong dealership. I pointed out the name of the dealer on the inventory list they showed me....they couldn't say anything but told me this is a non-refundable deposit.

I went through all the documents to get the deposit back. And I found out that they put bogus number on VPP sheet. Well, they could put any number on the VPP sheets if they don't put VIN.

The price they put on the VPP sheets were about $1,500 higher than "true" VPP price. Obviously, they didn't want to sell the car at VPP price because of lesser profit but they put bogus number on the VPP to make me believe I am buying the Z at VPP price.

So, I told them that I would be calling Nissan USA for this, and they quickly returned my deposit back.

I have a friend at DCH Honda and he referred me to a DCH Freehold Nissan. Wow, they are super! I called and informed tham that I am eligible for VPP, the color and option I wanted. By the time I got there, they already called other dealerships to ensure they can swap, and VIN and price were set. Unfortunately, there were no white nor blue but they can get me silver.

When I went to DCH to pick up the car. They detailed the car and the car was parked under the shade. There was no push to sell me additional warranties, window etching, or etc which I don't need.

So, in conclusion, I had a great buying experience at DCH. Sales person was nice and "honest". He even called me a week later to see how happy I am with the car.
