Default Nissan Employee Parts Discount?

I've searched for an answer, but only found information related to discounts on cars themselves.
I'm looking to purchase a few things in a while, but if I can get Nismo Parts for cheap, then I'd rather go with Nissan.
If anyone knows what Nissan Employees get as a Parts Discount, then fill me in.
Thanks in advance.

its like 20% overcost i used to work for a nissan dealer, but they are not goin to give it to you at 20% they will more than likely do 45% to 65%, just depends on what the parts ppl want to do, i've seen them go as high as 120% for some ppl

Whatever it is it no big deal. Lots or price competition for parts.

NOTE: Except here. Prices too low to mention BS.

Haha', that was my first thought.. but it didn't work out too well.
My girlfriend works with some chick who also works at Nissan, in the office area somewhere, and she was either never informed, or just forgot about the perks of her job..

Oh, so you're hoping to take advantage of a friend of a friend deal. Yeah, you better find out if they're willing to do that for you, especially if you want to buy big-ticket items and do it multiple times.

With the state of the economy, some dealers may frown on that practice right now.

Of course
I guess the whole conversation came up with one of these girls saying she wanted an Altima or what not, then my girlfriend chimed in saying I had my Z, and the chick who works there was like yeah, no problem. Let me know what he is looking for on Monday, and I'll see what kind of prices I can get.
Not that I really NEED any Nissan parts, but it can always come in handy.

idk what the discount is .. but I know nissan has a HUGE markup in the parts department


when I went to buy nissan S-Matic tranny fluid when I did the valve body upgrade they wanted $18 / quart

got the parts lady at the dodge body shop I used to work at to call over 5 minutes later and they quoted her $8 and some change .. so got the name of that parts guy, and the exact price

went back and told him I wanted it for that price on a cash ticket for the dodge dealership



as for nismo parts .. they might wonder where they are going if the guy that buys them doesn't use them

My buddy works for Yates in one of Nissan's parts warehouses and he got me a NISMO v1 wing for cost, $260 plus tax. The whole V1 kit would only be $830 but they quit producing the other parts so they were no other parts in stock. The other employees don't get S for discount. I work in the Smyrna, TN plant and employees here only get a 10% discount on parts and labor.
