Dealers can do anything they want but "lower price" is pretty nebulous.

With VPP the customer pays a specific, easily computed amount above what a dealer actually paid Nissan for the vehicle meaning the dealer makes a specific profit on the sale. For a dealer to sell the vehicle lower than the VPP proce means they are giving up some or all of that guaranteed profit or even taking a loss on the sale.

Will a dealer sometimes sell a vehicle for little or no profit or even at a loss? Sure.

Does it happen very often? Not if they want to stay in business.
