Default $899 Aero Kit-Another dealer ripoff in GA!

Check this out! From our friendly Nissan dealer in GA.

$899.00 for a spoiler?? How about a grand for tire protection?

Why not just price the car at MSRP and add $4000.00 plain and simple markup?

BTW, here is a photo of the actual car. It has a real bad case of orange peel (notice the lower part of the passenger door).

I wonder what the 'Paint Protection Package', is for? To enhance the peel??

the same unnamed dealer, (where we had the Z car show today) has an automatic touring on ebay, with a catch. You are bidding on how much over sticker you will pay! (its up to 4.50, btw)

$199 for wheel locks?

An unrefusable warrenty package?

Teflon on the paint? Didn't Bradford say that Teflon is a bad thing for a car's paint?

What you are essentially doing is buying this car for 5 G's over MSRP due to this dealer BULLS**T!

I wonder what the $399 "Personal Package" is. Probably a Z Coffee mug.

It's probably just VIN ethcing on windows. Usually, dealers try to get $250-$400 for this. Actual cost to dealer: ~$5.00. That's rihgt FIVE DOLLARS.

It's a rip-off -- jsut like all the crap they put on there. PURE markup!!!!!

Yeah, I was at another Dealer the other weekend and they had the usual: $1k for Paint protection, $500 doc fee, but get this they had $499 for WHEEL LOCKS!!! (The same wheel locks available in their service department for $29.00) And $2500 for Aftermarket Leather!!! And $2000 for ADM?!?! (I assume ADM stands for Additional Dealer Markup). All told they had a enth. Z going for nearly $40k.

Some people have NO SHAME.
