Terrific experience When my old Camry started giving me problems I realized I needed to replace it. The car I really wanted was a Nissan Murano, but I was willing to cons When my old Camry started giving me problems I realized I needed to replace it. The car I really wanted was a Nissan Murano, but I was willing to consider a Rogue or even an Altima. I did some research at cars.com and found a Murano that was low mileage, Nissan Certified and right in my price range at Courtesy Nissan. I called and made an appointment with Ed Nogar in their internet sales department. Ed was waiting when I got there before opening the next day. I told him very clearly - my price range was $18K - $20K. I only want to look at Muranos, Rogues or Altimas. I set these boundaries knowing full well that car salesmen will automatically start showing me cars 10% above my range, or talking monthly payments rather than price tags, or steering me towards other used cars that offered them a better margin. Ed did none of those things. He never tried to show me anything outside my range, except for one car that was a little below my lower boundary. He never showed me any other type of car. He encouraged me to test drive all three, and then suggested I re-drive two of the cars that had become my finalists. He never hurried me, steered me or pressured me. What a refreshing experience that was! When I finally made my decision on the car I tried to talk down the price a little . . . the sales manager printed off all the Muranos in the area in my price range, and this one really was priced better than anything else advertised. I couldn't argue much with that, but they still knocked a couple hundred off the price. We went through the financing process with no problems, I got very little pressure to buy warranties or add-ons, and I was out the door with my new car. After the sale Ed continued to take great care of me, helping to get a second key fob made for the car. If all car purchases went this well we wouldn't have negative stereotypes of used car salesmen - Ed was fantastic and I'm very happy with my Courtesy Nissan experience. More
Deceptive I purchased a Gold Plus Plan (Fidelity Warranty Services, Inc) from Mr. Arismendi at a cost of $1786 for a used car purchased on May 19, 2014. It was I purchased a Gold Plus Plan (Fidelity Warranty Services, Inc) from Mr. Arismendi at a cost of $1786 for a used car purchased on May 19, 2014. It was suppose to be the same plan I had on my Hyundai Sonata. Mysteriously, all of the information on the warranty contract was filled in by computer, with the exception of the plan selected. That box was left blank. I didn't notice this omission until I returned home. I called Mr. Arismendi who assured me it was the Gold Plus Plan and said the purchase price would verify that. Uncomfortable without having written proof that it was the Gold Plus Plan, I asked for written confirmation. Mr. Arismendi had me bring the warranty back to him and he used a pen to check the Gold Plus Plan box that had been left blank and signed his signature by the check marks.. Feeling uncomfortable with the fact that the box was not filled in by computer, I called Fidelity Warranty to confirm what I was told by Mr. Arismendi and discovered it was all false. He wrote it up as the Gold Plan, a lower costing plan that provides lesser warranty coverage. I suspect this was not an accidental oversight by Mr. Arismendi. Up until this time I have been a loyal Hyundai customer who brought my previous car into Hyundai every three months for service for the past five years.. My experience with Mr. Arismendi has changed my trust in Courtesy Hyundai. I wonder how many other customers he may have done this to who would not discover they had been issued a lesser quality plan until years later when they might need warranty work. He is the first Courtesy Hyundai employee I have dealt with that I feel is a poor reflection on Courtesy Hyundai. More
We found a 2012 Volkswagen CC on USAA's website and went to the used car dealership at Courtesy Nissan to look at it. When we pulled in to the parking lot, the sticker price on the car was almost $5000 went to the used car dealership at Courtesy Nissan to look at it. When we pulled in to the parking lot, the sticker price on the car was almost $5000 higher than what was advertised online. We were told that the price on the sticker on the car in the lot was their "haggle price", but we continued with the purchase. Since I am in Tampa and my better half is in Germany at the military base there, we waited until the following day when USAA was open to complete the transaction. Everything was supposed to be in order when I arrived to sign final docs, but after more than an hour of waiting, I had to leave. On try number two (after being told once again that all was in order and that I only needed to sign), it took them more than an hour AGAIN before docs were ready for signing. The finance manager that did the signing was very short and almost rude. When I asked the salesperson why he was so upset, it was explained that because we had our own financing through USAA, he was essentially working for free and that it may be an explanation for his poor attitude. Shortly after taking the vehicle home, we realized that it leaked even though we were promised that it had undergone inspection and had their highest rating. I called the service department and was told that our salesperson would have to authorize the repairs, so we left messages and sent numerous unanswered emails. Finally, we were told that he was no longer with the company, but the sales manager said to bring the car in for service. He said that an authorization was not necessary. I'm REALLY confused at this point, but bring the car in. I make an appointment for Saturday at noon after explaining at length and giving details about the issue with the leaking sunroof. I go out of my way on a Saturday afternoon to this dealership to keep the appointment that they've given me to be told that I'm going to have to leave my car with them the following work day so that they can do the repairs. I've wasted my time bringing the car in on my Saturday afternoon. So I make another appointment for the following Monday, as it is supposed to rain and I can't risk more water coming into my car. I show up before work on Monday morning and am told that I am going to have to PAY to rent a car to drive while they fix the defective car they've sold me. I agree to this even though I'm not happy. It's $30 for one day and I really just need the leak fixed before anything is permanently damaged. They tell me to pick the car up after work on Monday and to come before they close at 6pm. I leave work in Brandon, pick my daughter up from daycare in South Tampa, and then drive frantically in rush hour traffic to make it to the dealership at Hillsborough and Dale Mabry before they close. I see that I am going to be late, so I call to let them know I'm running about 10 minutes late. They say ok. I then show up to be told that my car is not ready and that I'm going to have to come back the next day after work to pick it up. The car still leaks. I asked why they didn't call me to let me know. Why didn't they stop me before I made an unnecessary trip for a SECOND TIME? So I come back to the dealership on Tuesday after work and am told that my car still leaks and is not ready to go home. This makes a THIRD WASTED TRIP. By now I'm upset. It's one thing for the car not to be fixed, but they've wasted my valuable time three times now. They've promised me my car and haven't delivered AGAIN. By now, they've agreed to take care of my rental car. To jump ahead to the end, they had my car for TEN DAYS before it was repaired. It sat there for more than one day untouched as I am repeatedly calling for updates at this point. They deliver my car to me at my place of employment. It is filthy. It is unwashed and there is some sort of glue or sealant all over the hood of my car and the edges of the windshield. My $300 RayBan sunglasses are stolen from the car as well as a portable GPS that was in the console. Yes. I am an idiot for leaving my sunglasses in my car. It was a complete oversight in the chaos of a rainy Monday morning, keeping in mind that they were only supposed to have my car for one day. I am told that it is my fault for leaving valuables in the car and it absolutely is. I trusted the dealership to be honest and trustworthy with not only my car, but my belongings. They claim no liability. The dealership has refused to do anything to compensate me for the theft. They do, however, offer their apologies, which unfortunately does not keep the Florida sun out of my eyes while I'm driving. They have offered to clean the glue off of the hood of my car, but want me to leave it with them so that they can do this. I do not trust them with my car and have NEVER had such a horrible experience with a dealership. We expected professionalism, especially since USAA and the military endorses them. We will be complaining to USAA and strongly suggest that any other military families use ANY OTHER DEALERSHIP. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING A CAR FROM COURTESY, RUN. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING USING THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT, RUN. RUN FAR IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND LOCK UP YOUR VALUABLES. More

Had corresponded with Tony Jones and several other dealers as I was looking for a low mileage Honda or Nissan. I never met Tony we only communicated a handful of times through e-mail. After advising dealers as I was looking for a low mileage Honda or Nissan. I never met Tony we only communicated a handful of times through e-mail. After advising Courtesy Nissan I had purchased a vehicle and was no longer in the market for a car I received a response from Tony that said " Thanks for wasting two months of my time. Good Luck!" I would not recommend this dealership to anyone and this only reaffirmed that I made the right decision by not getting a car from Courtesy and Tony Jones. Perhaps they should get a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word courtesy. More

I was very disappointed with my sales rep first. He promised me things that he could not deliver. I drove all the way from Miami to Tampa on his promises, and this is after numerous emails and photos t promised me things that he could not deliver. I drove all the way from Miami to Tampa on his promises, and this is after numerous emails and photos to make sure I did not waste my time or his. Once I made it to the dealer, the used car sales manager made a mistake "conveniently", everyone spent their time covering it up and trying to figure out how to fix it, instead of coming to me and being honest. The entire time I was there, I was very open and honest with them telling them what I could do, they offered me another option, but of course, when I agreed to it, they said their GM was driving that vehicle and I could not get that one. After all was said and done, I left with a vehicle that was not what I wanted to purchase, and at the finance table I was told there were miles on the car and the warranty did not include those miles (this was a NEW car)...but the sales man and the finance manager argued about it, but the finance guy ended up winning and I ended up screwed again. The dealership knew how unhappy I was and someone called me from customer service. I told them the entire story, it was actually very close to what the employees stated, except for a few details you would expect them to leave out. I was offered to come back and they would re-purchase the car for what I paid for it, and I could get the Armada Platinum I intended to buy at first. BUT NOW, the price is over $10,000 additional that I have to give them. Unfortunately I don't have the original offer where I was not given the Platinum because the GM had it, at that time I had to give them an additional $8,000...Oh well, when dealing with these guys, make sure you get it all in writing and do not leave without keeping all your paperwork...it will haunt you in the end. Add me to the list of unhappy Courtesy Nissan of Tampa customers. More
I was in the market for a new car for the first time and did a lot of research on different vehicles and different dealerships. Since I was a first time car buyer and I had heard horror stories about car sa did a lot of research on different vehicles and different dealerships. Since I was a first time car buyer and I had heard horror stories about car salesmen, I made sure I did my research about the vehicle I was interested in before ever making contact with a dealership. I first spoke with Ana Velasquez at Courtesy Nissan of Tampa, she was extremely polite and helpful with all my question about the new 2013 Nissan Sentra SV I was looking at, I was also happy they weren't calling me a million times a day after the initial contact like some other dealerships. I work normal business hours and it was very frustrating having my phone ring every 5 minutes from every dealership trying to sell me a car, but Courtesy Nissan was exactly what their name states, courteous. I set up a test drive for the Sentra and was handed over to Peter because Ana would not be in the office, and he was absolutely great! He was not like most car salesmen when you can tell they only care about the sale, he cared about what I could afford and what I needed out of a vehicle. He never pushed up sales to where I felt uncomfortable, I told him the exact vehicle I was interested in and that's the vehicle we stuck with the whole appointment. He was able to tell me every single detail about the car and answer all of my questions efficiently! I was also surprised how quickly they got me approved for a loan even though I don't have good credit, they were completely understanding and worked very hard for a deal that suited my budget. Jason was a huge factor in getting me a great price on the car, I really appreciate everything he put into the deal. As a responsible consumer I had to think over the purchase, and I had to compare prices with other dealerships to make sure I was getting a great deal. To my surprise, some of the "highest volume sales" Nissan dealerships couldn't come close to the price Nissan Courtesy gave me and in fact told me I would be stupid not to sign on their deal! Needless to say I went the next day and signed for my 2013 Nissan Sentra SV, the process was very quick and they stuck to price they quoted me, they did not play any games! Peter even helped me get my car set up with Bluetooth and made sure I knew exactly how to operate everything before driving off the lot! I'm so happy with my experience at Courtesy and look forward to my continuing relationship! More
I have been working with the salesman, Matt Lorenze, in an effort to find a used vehicle. He has been courteous and informative, not to mention patient and understanding in my quest to find a vehicle that an effort to find a used vehicle. He has been courteous and informative, not to mention patient and understanding in my quest to find a vehicle that I felt was right for me. I certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a vehicle because he puts the courtesy in Courtesy Nissan. Matt took the time to show me all the vehicles on their lot that fit the profile I was looking for and even took me to the detail shop in an effort to help me try to find the vehicle that was right for me. I ended up test driving 3 of the vehicles and was seriously considering purchasing one of them. My husband and I just wanted to think about it over the weekend. I was well aware that the vehicle could be sold, but I'm not the type of person that pressure buys. I told Matt that I would call him, but to please call me if anything else comes on the lot that he knew I might be interested in. Everything was fine until he had to take us by the manager "Rick." Of course I was asked if there was anything they could do to finalize the deal right then and I said no, I wanted some more time. Rick then made a sarcastic statement with a scowl on his face, saying, there should be something I could do since Matt had spent 3 days on me. He made me feel as though I had been wasting Matts and his personal time. As we were leaving he then said in a very sarcastic tone to call and tell him what we ended up buying. Rick, not only did you just take the courtesy out of Courtesy Nissan, but you lost my business and ruined what Matt had done to build up a good customer relationship. Not everyone can be played or intimidated into buying a car, nor do they want to be. I don't like your methods or your sales "games." You don't have to worry about me wasting your time anymore! More
