Many of the Domestic dealers have gone out of buisness in my area, and Mitsubishi has vanished, they are still around but not local anymore.

Good luck with the next ride

Why is this happening? I thought Nissan sales have gone up in US over the last few years. I see Nissan vehicles everywhere around here in FL near Orlando. Does Nissan sales vary too much from place to place?

It would be interesting to know if Nissan has a similar strategy to what Toyota is doing, limit the amount of dealers so that when times slow down neighboring dealers are not fighting for sales, reason why Ford dealers seem to be dropping off or consolidating, 1 of the major Ford dealers in my area that completely renovated suddenly disappeared overnight and is now the home of a Nissan

As many of you noticed , nissan dealships are all remodeling/ rebuilding if ...

My local dealers have ne building, and the old building are dedicated for used car sales....


Most nissan dealers now have new state of the art buildings. And all the building look pritty similar in styling and etc....



Basicly nissan is trying to keep a good image, and some of the dealer ships/service area were outdated.


What happens is nissan tells the owner of the dealer ship to remodel and etc , or close up( and then the owner does collect some large cash )

Chevy is also doing the same thing from what Ive noticed. along with many other car companies.
