Welcome back.

I suggest talking to Peter Trambly at Bankston Nissan in Irving (across from old Cowboys stadium). He's the internet sales manager. His first price quote for me was $600 over invoice price and more than $3500 cheaper than the final price I got at Nissan McKinney after 4 hours of the run-around. At Nissan of McKinney I walked in offering to sign that day at a specific price. They wouldn't come down to it. It was a very negative and unpleasurable experience.

I emailed Peter at Bankston the next day telling him exactly what I wanted but didn't mention a price. His first offer (replied the same day) was $1200 less than what I told the guys at McKinney I would have signed for ($3500 under their lowest price offer).

I told him to draw up the paperwork and I would be in the next day to sign it. I showed up the next afternoon, signed the paperwork which was all set to go and gave him my holding deposit.

He found the exact car I wanted 2 days later. It was still in transit from Japan and being shipped to a dealer in Arkansas. Since I already put down my holding deposit (was like $1000 refundable) he got the car for me. About 2 weeks after that the car showed up. When I went to pick it up they had everything ready for me, including a financing option through Chase at a slightly lower percentage rate then the one I had (saved me about $25 a month).

I've bought 4-5 cars and this was the only experience that was pleasurable. Super easy, everything done professionally, no unexpected problems.... I can't recommend this guy enough.

Omg this is exactly what I went through. Horrible experience at Nissan of McKinney. Wasted 4 hours talking to a wall that wanted to sell me a touring for 47k when sticker said 43,999..

Email Bankston Nissan of Irving, Peter Tramby took care me of from day 1. Great guy, no BS. Got my car ready by the date and time I told him. Drove in, filled out paperwork and went to work. Easiest and most stress-free experience I've had purchasing a car.

I want to buy a white 370 w/sport 6MT. Did not know a model change was coming in June until I saw it on here. Any thoughts on how many more 12 models Nissan will produce? Also, if anybody has a dealer they get a referral fee from, let me know and I will drop your name. If opportunity presents itself, maybe we will drop in on a gathering.

God, it's gonna be good to be alive and be back in Texas...plus a new Z will be the icing on the cake!
George Murray @ Don Davis in Arlington is a good guy. No BS, I tell him what I want and he gets it done. I have bought 5 Nissans from him so far. Each one has been a good experience.

The only downside... I am not a big fan of the service department in Arlington lol.

Cool. The parking lot of tonights meet location.is usually pretty packed around 8. We likely wont be parked together until after we leave the restaurant. You should see some us congregating around one. We will probably see you and flag you down though.
