On 1/26/2011, I called Advantage Nissan located at 939 Old Country Road and spoke with Steve. I told him I was looking for a red Juke SL model and he told me he has that particular vehicle for me and so we set an appointment for 1/29/11 for 1pm. I told him I'm coming from far to get the vehicle so do not let me waste my time to get there and he does not have it.
When I got there, he has the red Juke, but a SV model (w/o leather seats, heated heats, power seats, fog lights, and no back up camera) I took the car because I can survive without those amenities. Steve then gave me a NMAC application for credit to complete, I told him I already have a check from my bank and is already approved and did not need their credit. He said OK, I would still need to complete it in the event my bank would not honor my check and they were not able to verify that on a Saturday and they needed that security, I agreed. Steve said to me, the finance guy will meet with me to offer me additional warranty and I should decline the offer because the vehicle already comes with manufacture warranty and the dealer is only trying to make money that way. So I met with Mike (finance guy)and told him I do not want to do anything with him but he insisted. He told me and my wife that he could get us a deal with NMAC (Nissan Motors Acceptance Corporation for the same price including additional warranty at 2.9%. I told him how is that possible when my bank is offering me a higher rate? his response was he works with them and he can get that, so I excused myself from the room and spoke to Steve and explained the deal offered to me, he said take it. I went back to Mike and asked if he would need to run my credit again, he said no, he will take the information from my bank and use those same numbers.
I left the dealership with my new vehicle then called him on Monday 1/31 to see if the deal was OK with NMAC, he said no and I was OK with that.
