I recently bought a used 2022 Nissan Maxima Platinum - david.achilli
I recently bought a used 2022 Nissan Maxima Platinum ($32K) from Capital Nissan in Wilmington. After buying 7 Nissans, at 3 different dealerships, this was the worst Nissan dealer I have ever dealt with. The car was allegedly serviced, yet the washer fluid was empty, the cabin filter was filthy, and the tire pressure was inconsistent (high in one tire, low in others). Plus, the car was never detailed, and the gas tank was nearly empty (after complaining, they put ½ tank of gas in it). The dealer adds a $200 “nitrogen” tire fill and a $600 “ceramic” job (it already washed off) to every car. The “finance manager” tried to sell us a “Triton Warranty” (whatever that is) but neglected to offer the Nissan Security + plan, which I would have bought. They also wanted an additional $1,000 to make the car “CPO” (certified pre-owned). They were, however, nice enough to put a filthy, corroded license plate frame on the rear of the car (which I promptly removed and discarded, along with their advertising sticker).
The bigger problem was all the paperwork was backdated, to the date I made a deposit (not the date I actually purchased the car), and was full of errors. When I questioned this, I was ghosted by the “product specialist” (now “internet manager”), general sales manager”, “finance manager” (now “sales consultant”) and even the “owner loyalty manager” (I’m not sure what her real job might be). They continued to ignore me even as my temporary tag expired. When the tag expired, I was unable to drive my newly purchased car for over a week. It appears they stalled everything so that my cash payment could pay off the lien on the car I just bought! Either that, or they are just totally incompetent.
Trust me, if you say anything they don't want to hear, they will ghost you as if you bought your car in the Soviet Union.
Avoid this dealership unless you like to be lied to and treated like a complete idiot. There are too many other Nissan dealerships that truly care about their customers. I can only attribute all the “glowing” 5 star reviews to coercion or there are just a lot of uninformed people out there.
If it wasn’t for the receptionist at the dealership and the title processor at Capital Auto Group Corporate, I’m sure I’d still be walking!
Noah Woods, feel free to comment. Please do contact me and explain/justify the horrible way I was treated.
