Thought it would be fun to post some of my dealer dealings so far. If ya'll find this obnoxious or boring, let me know and I'll stop.
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...

As a side note, my residual on my 2023 Rogue with 15,000 miles on it, is $36,000. I asked dealer what they can do on that number. Maybe I'll buy it. Dealer said "it is what it is". I said, OK, but I can buy a brand new 2023 with 14,950 miles LESS on it for $31,000. How does that make sense? Once again, was told "it is what it is".

My neighbor had one of these. His dog would chase the ball down and bring it back to him to put it back in. He finally gave up and threw the ball himself. Was pretty cool tho!

After much kicking and screaming, went to visit my Nissan dealer in person. Pull up and there are at least 5 salespeople standing outside the door waiting to pounce...
Bottom line is after almost 3 hours, my best option was buying a stripped down Altima for $30,000. I don't want to hear chit about how nobody is buying cars. I need a shower.... 🙄 Next up, going to try Mazda.

Worked for a huge printing company back in my yute. I think I was 23 YO... first day, I clock in 15 minutes early and get to my press and start prepping... everyone in the place was staring at me like I had three eyes.. manager comes up to me and says if I ever start that press before the buzzer goes off I was fired. I quit on the spot and left. 2 days later they called me back with almost double my pay. Lasted 6 more months before I went out to lunch and never went back. Worst 6 months of my life.
