I put down a deposit back in December as it was supposed to arrive before the end of 2022. Fast forward three months and I had forgotten all about it. The last Monday of March I get a call from the dealer advising that the truck had finally arrived. I went ahead and proceeded with the sale although the numbers weren’t nearly as appetizing as they were in December. This deal should have been written on March terms but because the dealer dragged their feet for about a week, it was written on April terms. Like most everyone has already stated here, Nissan dealers are scum. From communication to efficiency, everything has been piss poor.
Two things to note, I did receive the $500 college rebate and last minute the dealer decided to tack $300 in wheel locks. Essentially netting me $200 in grad rebate. Dealer would not allow for one pay or MSD’s.
Still not a bad lease at all though, well done! I’ve contacted the dealers around me to see if I could put together a Frontier Pro-4x lease, they all want nothing to do with me. They either had crazy MF markups or wouldn’t budge off of their sales price (above MSRP).
Some of my numbers were off by a few bucks, but the bulk of the down was first month and $700 in CA registration. They applied my $500 rebate to the down, netting at $750.
I was having a similar issue back in December. I probably hit up 15-20 dealers before getting lucky. It would have definitely been more beneficial to go with a broker with the amount of time wasted, but I was bored and wanted to see if I could hammer down something on my own.
Yeah good catch, I should’ve payed closer attention. Maybe the store isn’t as bad as I thought, I just assumed because we signed on the 4th I was getting hosed with April terms.
