Nissan: A Major Disappointment!

AB370Z · 04-10-2009, 01:27 AM

I dealt with Chad and Peter (sales mgr) at Brasso. They were very helpful.

Thanks

Hey Ace that's some terrible news about your 370Z. I feel sick to my stomach just thinking that the dealership would do that. My 370Z is on order from Brasso nissan...they tell me that it's going to be arriving in Vancouver april 29th. Just as AB370Z has told you, they have 2 on the lot...I was there on monday because I cannot stop thinking about getting my car. I put the deposit down on march 26th, it happened they had a 370Z on order that matched the one I wanted (Airstream, base touring model). I'm hoping that Brasso can have the vehicle to me by early May but it may be wishful thinking. Also I wonder if AB370Z's car is coming in the same group as mine.

I bet you guys are excited. I really am wishing I went to Brasso instead of Stadium. It sounds like I ordered mine around the same time as you. It is unfortunate the dealerships weren't open today. I would have been down there trying to order my car first thing this morning. Man, I am pissed at Stadium! I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the more I hear about others recently ordering and still getting their cars the more I am upset. Hopefully I can still get an order in and take delivery of a car before the end of summer/fall.

Dealerships are nuts being closed today. Even though it is a holiday, many people would still be out looking. Best of luck tomorrow Ace.

So here is the update on my 370z pursuit!

I called Brasso Nissan and made an appointment to meet the salesman. I told him my experience at Stadium. He told me he was unaware of there being any issues ordering the 370z coupes. He relayed the story to his sales manager. The salesman/sales manager found the story I was given from Stadium to be very strange. Anyway, after talking with the salesman and both sales managers they found a car for me. It is coming in with the next group of cars in ~ 3 weeks. I did make a compromise (possibly). I had to sacrifice the navigation system to get the red colour. So I was able to get, and order, a red M6 Sport Coupe. So down went my deposit. I went to Stadium earlier in the day and got my deposit back. There wasn't even an apology, or any remorse shown by Stadium over my experience. Oh well, their loss is Brasso's gain!

Brasso also asked me if I was open to alternative colours to match the Sport & Navi options I originally wanted. I gave them my alternative colour choice. Brasso will keep looking for a car in my alternative colour choice with the Sport & Navi options I wanted. If they find one they said I can switch my order from the red one on order to the alternative colour choice with the Sport & Navi package. I am hopeful they can find an alternative Sport & Navi car for me. If they find one in my alternative colour choice I will definitely be jumping for joy.

So far my experience with Brasso has been awesome. They seem to be going out of their way to find me the car I want. They are also "with it" enough to ask me for an alternative colour choice and if I am willing to compromise on some of my option choices to get the car for me. If they find me a car in one of my colour choices with the Sport & Navi package I will definitely be Brasso's BIGGEST FAN. Even if they can't find one, and the red M6 Sport Coupe actually comes in, I will tell everyone I know shopping for a vehicle to shop at Brasso!

Brasso told me they could actually get me a Red Sport & Navi M6, but it would have to come from a June order. This meant the car would not arrive until late Sept. to early Oct. At that point I would be better to wait another year. The snow flys shortly after Oct. and there would not be much time left to enjoy driving the car before I would put it away for the winter.

Anyway, a totally different impression at Brasso than I was left with at Stadium. Brasso definitely represents Nissan much better. Even just on a purely salesmanship level Brasso is way better! Hopefully everything goes as planned and discussed. Crossing my fingers.

Thanks AB370Z for your help and recommendation. I wish 3 weeks ago I had started the hunt at Brasso. Things are looking up thanks to Brasso!

Hey Ace that's great to see Brasso came through in the clutch. How killer would it be if all of our cars arrived in the next shipment? I can't wait till they phone and give me the VIN.

You're welcome...I'm happy to hear Brasso is helping you out. Wow, you went from getting one in June/July to one coming for you in 3 weeks (although that is with a compromise). It sounds like mine might be the shipment to arrive next after the one that has your and Zedhead's 370Z.

My order preference is just like yours - touring with sport, nav and M6, although mine is blue. I also could have gotten one without nav sooner. It seems they don't reserve order too many fully loaded.
