Edit: Nissan did inspect the car. It was only to cover their asses.

Nissan Corporate owns 50% of the service centre of each dealership. It's their way of controlling/recouping costs for warranty work. Or that's how it was explained to me just a few weeks ago anyways.

Regardless of fault, though it was clearly theirs, they have insurance to cover this stuff anyhow. Sure they might take a little premium hit but it's peanuts in the whole midst of things. Not like they guys insurance isn't going to go after them anyhow. It will cost them more in legal fees than giving the guy a brand new car for free.

Shortsighted. Corrupt. Self serving ********. Those are the kind of guys that give car dealers a bad name.

Wish him well.


Edit: and yeah BBB does do squat.
