I found a brand new 2023 Rogue that is still in transit. I realize it's coming from Japan, but WTF?? The 2024's have been out for 3 months already...
Anyway, I call to inquire... $11,000 off the sticker price. $42,000 down to $31,000. So far so good.
Ask dealer for lease payment. Looking for 0 down 36 month, 12000 miles a year and I'm pre-approved by Nissan credit for way more than what this should cost. I give the salesman my Nissan finance confirmation number so I don't get my credit dinged. Salesman says they will have their finance manager get me numbers...
Three hours later, get a text for FINANCING numbers. I explain once again that I want LEASE numbers. He apologizes and says he'll get back to me...
An hour later he sends over lease numbers starting with $2000 and going up to $6000 down... I explain again that im not putting anything down, it's a lease! He says he'll get back to me.
1.5 hours later he sends me lease numbers with 0 down... looks enticing until I notice the lease is for 10,000 miles a year ansld not the 12,000 I need... I text him back...
Finally get his number and it's $120 a month more than what their payment calculator says... I ask why...
Finally was told that "they take care of their own first" I ask what that means? Loyal Nissan buyer? Someone who has bought from your dealership before? My skin color? My religion?
He hung up...

The fact that he had to "get back to you" multiple times would have made me go to another person. If people stall/pause/hesitate/stumble their words/need to "get back with you" or otherwise give you some bullsh!t response, it's usually because they need to come up with a gameplan to their benefit, esp. when their math and numbers don't add up. At the end of the day, they need to sell a product and you are wanting that product. If I was in sales, I would rather cut the bullsh!t and save time and work on 3 deals in that timeframe vs wasting time and working on 1.
