I also left a message for the salesperson who was helping me (he was a great) I told him I didn't feel right about buying from a dealership that would hire such incompetent people to represent them, I told him I am sorry for his lost sale, cause I was very interested, but I have decided to take my business else where because I am not appreciated as a customer at his dealership. We will see what happens

Not nearly good enough. I would fill out a COMPLETE report and send it to Nissan Corporate, with the BBB in copy.

True, but he should have done that while laughing hysterically and shaking his head. The guy's face would have turned Redline.


[EDIT] After reading further, I guess the Redline thing would not have happened.

Honestly it's not worth it to me any more, i deal with those kind of people everyday except i get to watch them walk away in leg irons and a belly chain while i get to go home. I have made up my mind to just not go back unless contacted by Nissan (probably wont happen) and am offered an Enthu at or below invoice (won't happen). So anyway i filed my complaint with NNA and have let the manager and my salesmen know how i feel with no return info. At this point i will buy elsewhere. But i might contact the BBB about this cause people should know.

Cheers

Kevin

Id file with the BBB, they may take legal action against them since the guy threated you. You could also talk with a lawer and see what they think, but unless anyone from the dealership touched you as they threated you. You might not have a case. But defenitly file with BBB and as you did with NNA. I wish you luck in both.

So everything is hunkey dory, AND THEN I started talking to this old guy who was also looking at the 07. The dealer I was working with went back inside, and as me and the older man were talking, his dealer came up. The dealer was maybe my age (mid 20's) and very cocky. So this dealer starts running his mouth about the 450HP 350-Z that is coming out in 08, so I just laughed and asked where he had heard that. I guess he got the point that I knew better and wasn't buying his BS. So any way He told the older guy that a guy he was with (while on a test drive) smoked the front tires . Ok at this point I started to laugh at him and the older guy did to. I then explained to him that you couldn’t smoke the front tires cause it's rear wheel drive. Then he makes this big deal about it in the parking lot. So I point at him and then at the car tell him to show me.

This is where it gets bad- he gets in my face like he wants to fight cause I pointed at him. I tell him if he can prove it I will say I am sorry so he says he has the guy's # in side, so I call his bluff and tell him to call the guy I wanted to talk to him. So we go inside the and he grabs his phone and walks off. At this point my dealer walks up and says hey man I thought you had left, I then explained to him what the guy said and he started to laugh. Well the skinny little punk comes back and sees the other guy laughing and this is when it gets bad. He stars cursing at me and trying to get at me while the other guy holds him back. The manager comes out and takes the guy off. I explain I am about to spend 30k hear and I don't appreciate being threatened or yelled at. So I explain to the manager what happened and he starts to laugh. The guy sees this and comes rushing out of the manager’s office toward me. I was about to lay this guy out when another sales guy grabbed him.

3rd bad experience at this dealer WTF, any opinions on what I should do??

Cheers

Kevin

Kevin you can't take legal action without damages, and violence will lead to them takin action against you, I think you are young and very excitable, and like I told you before slow down and think, some of your posts are very agresive and confrontational, I told you what to do once and you said I was FOS. if you go back to that thread you will find others that follow the technique I mentioned and were very succesful, Learn to use their bull$hit against them, and when you go to the next dealer engage your brain before running your mouth, dude I don't say this to be desrespecful since you remind me of me 30 years ago, just stay cool and allow them to make the mistake. I really hope you get your Z.

After he started talking about smoking the front tires, I would have probably just said, "no kidding" and left it at that. I then would have driven away, and gone to a different dealer. I don't really see the point in calling out a salesman and totally embarassing him when he sucks at his job. Chances are it'll come out in the wash and he won't make many car sales. I'd just worry about the fact you are about to purchase a great car and move forward.
