Speaking with Smithtown Nissan, they say there are no Base - Spt Pkg Z's on Long Island but they could swap for one that is in Pennsylvania. They want to run a credit check (not worried about this) and need a $500 deposit (refundable if I am unhappy with the car when it comes in). I feel a bit uneasy about this, any comments?
On a side note, the salesman I am dealing with, though very nice knows nothing about Z's, makes me feel even more uncomfortable... |

When I was shopping for a Z, I had left a deposit (more than $500) at a dealer in the city so that they could bring one in from Jersey. Two weeks later, with no car, no word and no money, I just went to a Jersey dealer myself and picked up the car for less than MSRP; the first dealer couldn't negotiate on the pricing because they would be bringing it in from another dealer. Getting the refund took about another two weeks of dealing with the credit card company. If it doesn't feel right, then it probably isn't... |

Thanks guys I agree. Making a trip to Koeppel in the next couple of days and I hope that this will be a better experience.
Just some insight on the salesman I have been working with: He tries hard but told me upon our original conversation that there is no such thing as a Base + Sport Package option (!?!?!) and had to double check with a manager when I told him he is wrong. He later asked ME what the MSRP is on the base model, touring model, spt pkg. I am like dude, you work at Nissan! He and his manager also claimed they will get me the best possible interest rate, turns out to be 5%... Like I said, hes been nice, helpful, gets back to me quickly, but I dont want to buy my first new car that knows nothing about it. Love this site though, my dad listened in on my last conversation with the salesman, and afterwards he laughs and says "**** Pat, you are tough!" Last edited by kielbasa16; 03-10-2010 at 08:53 PM. |

Sometimes its best to go with your gut and might be worth taking a ride to some dealers off the island. Find out how the Z will be brought to the dealer, driven or on a roll back. Check the Nissan website and search for the dealer inventories. I can't blame you for being uneasy about buying a car from a guy who doesn't know anything about them or about having it trucked in from some place in PA.

yeah, check to see how the Z will be delivered. Mine was trucked in from upstate NY. at first it was going to be driven from DC, but i almost refused the miles on the car. and i eventually got the shipping cost ate by the dealer. I didnt mind waiting for the car, i had waited 3 months, another 3-5 days for shipping was nothing.

Just to put it to rest, I pulled the trigger on a good deal from a dealer in PA, RothRock and the salesman was Tom Russell. I was extremely pleased with the entire transaction. Thank you all for your help, Mr Clem, I appreciate your professionality but Ive got my Z!

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. |
