Re: loaner cars...??

it's completely up to the dealer... I got a loaner at one dealer and didn't from another.

If you go for the 30/60/90k service there's a coupon on the NissanUSA.com website for a free loaner car.

Some dealers will reduce the charge of the service if you agree not to take the loaner car. Others say the loaner is free, the service costs standard.

loaner is included in Nissan Gold. I think new warranties require overnight service (but I dont believe them). Mine says 30 mins or more or repairs.. I had to argue, but now I can get a loaner for just about anything.. and usually do. BTW, this was NNA I was arguing with, not the dealer. The dealer said as long as they got reimbursed, they didnt care.

It truly does depend on the dealer. Search around and I'm sure you'll find one. The most important thing is to make an appointment with them...don't just show up and expect them to give you a car. So yes Nissan does give loaner cars even if you don't have the extended warranty.

I'm 21 and I've never had a problem at my new dealer. You just have to find a good service manager.

My dealer knows me well and gives me a free loaner car if I want one (I don't usually ask for one cause I just watch the mechanics do the work on my car to learn more, etc.)
Once though, they were busy and didn't know when they'd get to my car so the Parts Manager gave me his car (demo) for the day and I didn't even ask for one (he threw his keys at me and said: "Get the hell out of here will ya? You're always here!" Hehe (he was saying it in a joking way of course).
It really does depend on the dealer. If you're a regular and they're nice (you wouldn't be a regular if they weren't nice they tend to go that extra mile for ya.

Good point, I also get all my mods done by the dealership. They give me decent deals for parts and labour and everything remains under warranty. So between the mods and the regular maintenance services I'm there a lot (mostly Saturdays 'cause I work during the week).
