Typical Used Car Sales BS 2013 Nissan Frontier, used. Negotiated a price off a "sale" price that was significantly lower than the original "value" price. Back and forth until 2013 Nissan Frontier, used. Negotiated a price off a "sale" price that was significantly lower than the original "value" price. Back and forth until we got to "the best price, no one else will match this". This was a cash deal - as simple as it gets. They were going to do me a favor by etching the VIN number into the window glass for security. What they failed to mention is that they would charge $299 for that favor. I had to ask and then declined. Then they had me sit in their service waiting area for 2 hours while they were "doing paperwork". The paperwork consisted of three forms and there was no financing work required. They then pushed multiple insurance and extended warranty programs while I was signing the paperwork, all declined. When I got home, I realized that the "best" price we negotiated was actually more than the asking price they had listed for the same vehicle on their website. Even worse, they had a $250 coupon on-line for pre-owned vehicles. Not only that, they had presented the vehicle as having one owner. That was true. What they failed to mention was that the owner was an Enterprise Rent A Car franchise - the vehicle was a former rental. That became obvious after finding old rental agreements stuffed in the center console. Very disappointing when people fit the typecast - used car salesmen. Personable, appear to be trustworthy... but actually con men, cynical. Caveat Emptor. More

I'm not giving the salesman's name, because it's dealership attitude problem; the salesman was a nice guy, just trying to make a living. Their used car prices were over priced with respect to it's dealership attitude problem; the salesman was a nice guy, just trying to make a living. Their used car prices were over priced with respect to their competition. They did not want negotiate and wouldn't review pricing data from external trusted sources. I did not feel that they were honest with me as they played games with my trade in value. Overall, the experience wasn't pleasant and they made us wait along time to not even try to negotiate. I don't understand how dealerships can still survive with this type of business strategy. Consumers have a lot of research information available and this dealership tried to ignore that data. I would not recommend this dealership, save yourself the aggravation and don't bother with them. By the way, I bought the same car, color, year, condition, clean car fax with 9k miles less for $3,000 less than their price. More
