If you want to wait thirty minutes to pick up your car after you have paid because no one can find the service writer with your keys, go to Capitol Nissan in San Jose.

If you want to get a letter from Nissan USA saying they are concerned and thankful for the feedback but really don't care, you could write a letter about Capitol Nissan in San Jose.

Which dealership? Since that was the concern in the title of your thread. Or was this whole thing about bragging of your discounted pricing?

It's night and day difference between a Lexus and a Nissan Dealership. However, you pay an arm and a leg for the service.

Lexus: ~ 120 for "service"
Nissan: ~ 25-50 for "service"

Well, as the old saying goes “you get what you pay for”. To repeat other post, Nissan isn’t a luxury brand. But what other manufacturer has a sports car you can get for the price of a Z?

I spent a total of about an hour in my dealership, including the sale, test drive, and delivery. The actually building was okay; I didn’t plan on spending the night there. And I got a free Coke!!

Just remember that nothing is free. You pay for everything, one way or another.

I got my Z at Santa Monica Nissan ... it is "teh ghetto."

I don't see the big deal whether a dealership is nice or not. If they're wasting a lot of money on amenities then I feel like I'm paying for those amenities as a customer.

Nissan hasn't been an industry leader until recently

If you want to see a flea market, go to GLENDALE NISSAN. Trashy, dirty, and they have lunch benches as seats. What a great dealer experience that was.

The all time filthest dealer award goes too...... GLENDALE NISSAN !




They SUCK!

Hmm, guess I got lucky and found a good place. Fred Schuler Nissan in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The people were very very nice to me. The test drive was quite fun, we got on a highway on-ramp and the guy kept yelling give it more power, this car can do a lot more! And boy was he right, I floored it and we were gone. Very cool and down to Earth guy. The dealer wasn't an A+ but it wasn't a dump either. Wilkes-Barre isn't exactly known for its luxury, too much drugs around here for nice companies to want to even attempt business here.

The dealer I go to for service is very clean. But they could not produce my 2nd Z so I went to a dealer at home and it was the nastiest place. Trash cans overflowing, nothing organized or neat where I could see. Really does not matter since they got what I wanted and I don't have to go back.

The fleet manager at Freemont Nissan was rude as hell, I asked if any used automatics are on the lot and he goes "Is this for your gf?? Dude its a sports car you need to get the Manual"


*Edit* Dammit sorry, I seem to have bumped an old *** post.

Just enjoy your car and hope that you don't have to spend much time at the dealership!

The Nissan in Elk Grove, CA was nice. Free soda and cofee, leather seats and a plasma screen.

But they are stupid for asking 28,000 for an 03 Touring with 20,000 on it.

How can you lie to someone so bad and still keep a straight face? Assbags.

Wow! That's terrible. I've never had any dealer treat me like that before.

i have encountered a few douchebag salesman at various nissan dealerships.

the one that sold me my Z was cool and the other guys there were very down to earth.

at the last dealership i got my oil changed at most recently, the girl helping me had never helped anyone who brought in their own oil before. after admitting this to me she said that she didn't know how much that costs so she just put down a random cost and was going to charge me that amount. i then politely asked her if she could take a minute and find out how much to charge me and it ended up being 30% cheaper. what an idiot.
