Star Nissan

True about bait and switch. I was quoted one price on a lease and had written agreement, then when I went to arrange to pick up the car even though I have excellent credit I was told because I was unemploy lease and had written agreement, then when I went to arrange to pick up the car even though I have excellent credit I was told because I was unemployed Nissan Financing raised the interest on the lease (BULL!!!!!!!). I was told by 3 other dealers Nissan does not do that. I got my money back and went with a Honda instead. Too bad the cars are good but the dealerships are so sleazy you get soured on the car and go with another brand. More

I wish I could rate them 0. Completely agree with a couple of posts above "bait and switch". My fiance went by himself to pick up the car and work through the finances, they gave him 7% (he have excell couple of posts above "bait and switch". My fiance went by himself to pick up the car and work through the finances, they gave him 7% (he have excellent credit score and got 5.5% quote from HSBC 2 weeks before), but the bait is - if you purchase the extended warranty program, the rate is 4.29%. That's fine. But of course when he called me and I calculated the monthly payment, the number isn't what they said would be. (like someone posted here, I am a finance person and knows amortization and stuff). Then they switched to "the warranty doesn't cover this and that and you should upgrade to this", which is $700 more and the interest rate went up to 4.99%. After 4 and half hours back and forth, he eventually took it for "peace of mind" with the warranty and just tired of negotiating with them. So that's their tactics - wear you out and get confused with numbers since they throw so many different ones at you. I will never ever go back to that dealer and that sales person. I'd rather pay extra money to get the car at another dealer who is honest than dealing with these liars. These are the people who ruined the reputation for the entire car salespeople, of them I do believe some are good but destroyed by these liars. How I wished I read this board before I went to Star Nissan. More

Ever hear of "bait and switch". They gave me "price and switch". I have a signed lease contract for X amount, this included a cap cost reduction and monthly payments. I pay the cap cost reduction, DMV, b switch". I have a signed lease contract for X amount, this included a cap cost reduction and monthly payments. I pay the cap cost reduction, DMV, bank fee, and taxes up front. This is what is stated in the contract. When I went to pick up the car, the finance officer told me that I should not put any money down and that I should work this into the payments because a credit score of 790 entitles me to .9% lease financing. Of course he is smiling and shmoozing as he goes through the new calculations. He gave me a new monthly payment with zero down. They must have thought or hoped that I was some idiot that couldn't add. Too bad for them that I'm in finance and understand present/future value, interest rate, and amortization calculations. They gave me a figure that would have equivalently increased my costs by almost 40%. Let's say from a $400/month payment to $550/month payment, which equals to about $6,000 more over the life of the lease. When I confronted the finance officer about this, the manager and finance officer, ganged up on me and told me that their costs have gone up. I waved the contract in front of them and told them that I have a contract that stated the payments agreed upon. They told me that the fine print on their contract allows them to change the price. Again, too bad for them that I can read. Here's a quote from a relevant portion of the fine print: "THE TOTAL CAH-PRICE DELIVERED LESS THE TRADE-IN ALLOWANCE SHOWN ON THE FRONT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THE FINAL CONTRACT PRICE TO WHICH YOU AND I HAVE AGREED, AND, IF THE VEHICLE IS A NEW MOTOR VEHICLE, NO ADDITIONAL FEE OR CHARGE WILL BE IMPOSED OR COLLECTED DUE TO CHANGES IN THE MANUFACTURER'S LIST PRICE, OR CHANGES IN THE COST OF FREIGHT OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY YOU" Fairly clear cut iron clad agreement wouldn't you say? Basically, they can't increase your costs if their costs increase. I have no trade in, so, that doesn't apply. To me, it seems like outright fraud when they tried to structure the payments differently, thus, resulting in a 40% increase. On another note, the contract was signed in early May. They gave me 2 delivery dates which they failed to deliver. They gave me the excuse that it did not come in the shipment. Give me a break, in today's world of information at your fingertips, you can't track a $35K item? I friggin make a $10 purchase from amazon.com and I'll know if it's been shipped, what state, and what hub it's in. So, after 10 weeks waiting, numerous phone calls, showing up at the dealership over 5 times, and spending about 20 hours overall on this matter, I have no car and left them my deposit. In any case, it is out of my hands now. My attorney is looking into the matter for punitive and compensatory litigation. I am so pissed off that I've been jerked around, lied to, and having them attempt to defraud me that I would not even settle out of court. It's not a money matter anymore when they tried to defraud me. I want them to go to trial and admit their guilt. I'm sure that this has happened to many people in my area. Many of their consumers do not speak English as their first language, may be culturally shy, and do not know their legal rights. I'm sure they have been victimized and have preyed on other customers successfully. Oh yeah, just one quickieee... I'm suspicious of the "good" reviews. I'll just say that I think they may have a hidden agenda. I've owned or leased so many cars in my life and never thought about spending time to post reviews online. More

I purchased a used vehicle knowing that it had issues with the balance and brakes. The salesman stated that I could still buy the vehicle and they would fix all the issues that was wrong with the vehicl with the balance and brakes. The salesman stated that I could still buy the vehicle and they would fix all the issues that was wrong with the vehicle. They never stood good on their word and now I have to fork over over $1,000 to get it fixed. The salesman himself was sweet, but the managers were complete jerkoffs. More

Avoid this dealership, they will rip you off. We got a 8 % finance fee and was told we have to buy warranty, etch, alram and lojack to get in the low 5% APR. This is not true people. You already qualified f % finance fee and was told we have to buy warranty, etch, alram and lojack to get in the low 5% APR. This is not true people. You already qualified for what is called a "buy rate". Usually dealers will bump you an average .75% but this place uses that excuse to charge you more. If they tell you that qualify for 10% but you need to buy all these aftermarket products in order to ghet 6%, GET UP AND LEAVE!!! You do not need that deal or even have to deal with this dealership or this brand of vehicle. THey tried the same thing on me and when I told them what I knew they tried to play it off with "ooo you brought a vehicle from us few years ago, discount .25% and ooooo there is another discount .25% this and that and your new rate is 5.75%" THEY ARE RIPPING YOU OFF. SOME OF THE SALESPEOPLE REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING. SERIOUSLY, ASK THEM WHAT THEY ARE SELLING. GO TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I actually do hope people read this and realize that this dealership is ripping people off.  Etching is not $600 how they claim, and yes you can say no to a deal, you can have a deposit refunded by law, and yes a buyers order is legally not bidding. Wake up people and avoid this dealership. People like this should not be in the car business, its gives other decent salespeople a bad name. More

I made the mistake of purchasing a 97 VW Jetta from this dealership. They assured me they would do right by me however cars over 100,000 have no warranty. I'm sure they where aware of that fact.
