I'll defeintely keep this in mind. This will only be the second car I've ever bought so my salesmen experience is limited, but i'll be back to the baord soon with news of what color and how much!

Thank you

 

Go through the Internet Manager ONLY! I'd never deal with floor salesman.

take gmc's advise... do not mention the military part until a price is negotiated, if possible.

I'm not sure, but using your service status to charge a higher price doesnt sound legal ??? If anything, this practice is a disgrace! Check with a lawyer, you may just receive a free one once this story makes it on the news. Imagine the negative publicity that would accompany this dealer and Nissan in general.

"A Nissan dealer is charging a man in Memphis, attempting to purchase a Maxima, a higher price just because he is in the MILITARY, next on the O'Reilly Factor".

 

I doubt that would really make front page news "NOW HEAR THIS! Car salesmen are dishonest!"

Not exactly anything new... lol

I am pretty sure you can get a better deal with a regular sales person, sure the bullsh!t quotient will be much higher, but the end result can be much better.

Don't let your guard down when you settle on the price. The finance guy will be a bigger snake than the salesman...

 

I went to Keras Nissan on Covington Pike, and talked to Justin Doss.He is the internet salesperson. He matched Dobbs price, and they have a better selection than Dobbs.
Never heard anything about the No-Sales tax for military. I am in the National Guard but I dont think that would have applied to me. If you go to Keras and talk to J. Doss tell him I sent you and he will send me a 100 Bucks if you buy a car......They are great peeps to deal with. Easy buying experience.....

What kind of deal did Dobbs give you?

 

There is only no sales tax for military if you register your car in a state that has no tax! Like Me, I have my cars registed in Alaska, Im a Alaskan resident and have a place up there! So when I buy a new car anywhere I tell them Im registering it in Alaska and Bam--no sales tax. I send all the paperwork to the DMV up there and get my new plates.

 

That sounds like a great deal.....

 

yeah it does.

 

c'mon now... i was being facetious. but you have to admit, thats pretty low to dip into the pocket of a military service person.

regular salesperson, i doubt it. much easier to get a better deal w/ internet manager. and much less stressful. these are my experiences.

and you're correct. watch out for the finance manager!

 

I have always received a lower initial price from the internet (or fleet) sales people, but they aren't always willing to negotiate beyond that. So I have been able to negotiate a lot more with a regular sales person. Sure, it is a huge pain in the ***, and you have to operate on their level, but if you put in the time and effort, you can find rock bottom. Just play them against each other.

It is much less stressful to go through the internet sales people, and sometimes I wonder if the extra stress was worth the $500 or $1000 I saved. I actually like the chase of trying to get the best price, it is a challenge and I thrive on that. I go car shopping with friends of mine to help them get better deals, I guess I am a masochist or something
