Nucar Nissan of North Attleboro

A $6,334.50 Extra Price Tag Tuesday, September 26, 2017, I entered Boch Nissan South, in North Attleboro with my 6-month-old Daughter, Sister, and Mother. We sat with a gentleman Tuesday, September 26, 2017, I entered Boch Nissan South, in North Attleboro with my 6-month-old Daughter, Sister, and Mother. We sat with a gentleman name Rich. I told him what I had in mind. Shortly after, we test drove a red 2017 Rogue and then a white 2017 Pathfinder. The Pathfinder suited our size needs better. After we sat down, the first question he asked me is "what would I like my payments to be?" Of course, it was! Dealers want to discuss payments, not price, I know this now."Dealerships love to quote cars in terms of the monthly payment, leaving the purchase price out of the equation until the papers are signed." That's exactly what happened to me. I told him, under $200/month. I told him that I wanted to lease. I, being a stay-at-home Mother to a 6-month-old did not want to overextend myself and my family's budget. He fringe understanding. I was misled, from the start. Taken for a ride. A very expensive one. He asked me if I had a vehicle & if I wanted to trade it in. I said "yes," and we discuss the possible price of a trade-in and agreed upon $1,000. As I write this, I realized the price of the car was never discussed, nor brought up. Just payments. Rich, continued to say, "if I can get your monthly payments to where you want it, will we have a deal today?" I said it's possible if he can get it to $250 the most. He said he'll see what he can do. And does that "have you wait and bite your nails, while he BS at the breakroom with his buddies nonsense." When he came back, the number was still too high for us, and proceed to leave. I told him, I'll come back tomorrow, or Saturday. Wanting to make the sale, he asks to take a look at my 98 ' Avalon (it has character). Stalling my haste to leave. A strategic move to get me to buy today. Returning back. He claims the best he can do is $279. $79 over the $200, and $29 over the $250. After some back and forth, I reluctantly agreed to $279. And than disagreed. By that time, the pressure is on, and I continue to tell him that I'll come back tomorrow or Saturday. Rich, desperate to make a sale, said what he needed to say to coerce me into an answer. I realized now, after this stressful, expensive ordeal that I never saw the sticker price of the car that I purchased. Sticking me with a car that is overpriced by $6,635. The payments are unaffordable given my very large down payment, making the car unaffordable for me. I never saw the price of the car that I drove off the lot. The sticker price was taken down by the dealer (which is illegal). I never saw the price. It was never made known to me. And they knew, once I drove off the lot, I essentially accept fully. When the price was briefly discussed, I was under the impression that I was getting a "good deal, $6,500 less than the Pathfinder I test drove." Remembering the sticker price on the car. I believed that deal was in fact solid. So, I proceed under the pretense of $6,500 less, (who wouldn't jump on that?) I made a downpayment of $5,279 and traded in my 98' Avalon for an additional $1,000 a total of $6,279. To keep my payments affordable and low. My payments were never lowered because the price of the car was never lowered. Even with $6,279 down. Reason being - dealers try to lower the monthly payment by extending the loan term rather than cutting the purchase price. But, since it was a 36-month lease my payments were HIGH. I know this now. Now at the finance manager - Nicole Charbatji's office. Quick, blatantly deceiving and sleazy. She tried to take me for an extra $100.50, (on top of the $6,279 Rich took from me) immediately stating that an RI title is $150.50 when it's, in fact, $51. At that moment, I told her, I'd rather keep my Avalon (& I should've) she got up and said: "that's the price, where did you get $51 from? I said Rich told me. She then proceeds to "talk to Rich." Pretending I was getting the title for $100.50 less, she kept stressing that I had a good deal and saving so much money. But, in hindsight, I saved nothing. Just robbed of my 98' Avalon and $5,330 in cash. Fun Fact: I now know that any vehicle over under the year 2000, does not need a title. The registration of my car is more than enough. But, Rich and Nicole stressed that I needed a title. Robbing me of an additional $51. The lease agreement, I only got a physical copy of, after I signed. It was on the financed manager (Nicole's) computer I never saw the actual contract before signing it, unfortunately, that wasn't an option ever presented. When I asked about the contract (before signing) she told me all that was in it is what my monthly payments will be. The signing process was done on a tiny electronic pad, that was barely legible and extremely dark. She printed it out once I was done, and placed it in a sealed enveloped. I was rushed out of the office and rushed into my car. My Avalon plates were then transferred over to the Pathfinder (which isn't entirely legal), in the state of RI, we have 72 hours to register a vehicle after purchase. It has been longer than that now. The car isn't registered still. They knew, once driving off, I assume legal rights of the vehicle. The initial selling process was as slow as can be. While the financed part took a total of 5 minutes. I never saw the price of the car that I drove off the lot. The sticker price was taken down by the dealer (which is illegal). So, I never saw the price. It was never made known to me. It's not until I got home, I realized that the (oral) price we agreed ($30,000) upon isn't what I was given. In fact, I was charged more than their advertised MSRP of $36,635 + $1,025 to make up for the trade deal of my 98' Avalon. The actual price of the car was ballon to $37,841.50. Higher than what Nissan charge for this particular model. The advertised MSRP is $36,635. Already grossly inflamed from the $31,793 KellyBlue Book/ TrueCar Value and comparable competitors. Looking back at the last 72 hours, I was a victim of gouging and unfair trade practice. My precious 98' Avalon was taken in as a trade-in for $1,000 and they charged me $1,025 for it. Profiting $25. The finance manager, Nicole Charbatji, deliberately withheld the truth. She purposely withheld a ton of information, and she upsold me on unnecessary products for over $2,000 worth for longer than the lease terms. They had me sign on a tiny dark electronic thing that I could barely see. While raving of such a good deal that I have received. All a ploy to keep you distracted from reading properly and understanding. Strategic. I understand it's months end, and quotas need to be met. But, where's your humanity? Seems like, these people don't care if you have a family or your life/credit gets ruin by this. All in the name of earning commission. I have a Daughter that I need to take care, and I was robbed of my (old, but reliable)car and $5,330. .... Wednesday morning, bright and early 14 hours after I signed, I return back to the dealers. To let them know, that the oral priced of $6,500 less than the model I test drove isn't what is on the contract and that I want this fixed. That I was sold an overpriced vehicle. Over their advertised MSRP by $1,025. Totaling $37,841.50 I sat with some sales manager who claimed I got a "good deal," and "there's nothing they can do." Friday evening, I went back to the dealers. And brought once again to their (meeting with JC) attention that I was sold an overpriced vehicle. Over their advertised MSRP by $1,025. They saw this, did the same on Wednesday morning, "it's a good deal, ummmm, yea, Rich's a good guy, you got a great deal, ummm, the deal is funded you signed the contract, there's nothing you can do." I'm posting this in hopes it helps someone (and myself) out. Consumers, please equip yourself, some car salesmen/women are filled with sleaziest sales schemes and only concern for their commission.
