Dealership Scam?
 

On May 28th, I went in to a Nissan dealership to test drive a 370z, but I didn't buy because they did not have my color or my trim. I was told that they were holding a drawing contest for anyone who came in for a test drive to win $500. So I got the call today telling me that my name was drawn and I had won $500. I didn't call them back yet, but I am skeptical that this is merely a scam to try and get me to go back to the dealership. What do you guys think of this?

what's the worst thing that could happen, you have to leave again?

it might be real crap

Exactly, go in and ask them for your money (if its cash or could be towards a Z purchase). If its that or they don't cooperate just leave!

Could be - you won $500 off a 370z too

I'd guess 500 dollars towards a purchase of a new car. I wouldn't really call this a scam.

I just got another call and I picked up. I talked with a lady who informed me that I can go pick up my $500 check from the dealership. I'm thinking its only going to be $500 off a car, if I buy it. The thing is that they don't have the car that I want.

They have a bunch of 7At that I don't want.

Have them order it/get it from another dealer. My dealership didn't have my car, but trust me they found it

yeah mine too

:iagree:

Most dealerships have an exchange agreement set up. It could be worth investigating.

If you're serious about getting a Z, go back, tell them which color you must have, work out a price without considering the $500 and use the $500 to get clearbra or other accessory of your choice installed.

Typical sales "tool". They will rubber hose the crap out of you when you get there. Make sure you have fully committed in your mind exactly what you want. They will try everything that they can to sell you what they have on the lot. They say that they can't give you as good of a deal on a dealer trade car, which is complete B.S. They don't pay when they do the trade, other than maybe a trucking fee.

Get your mula!

I will stop by the dealership tomorrow afternoon to see if it's legit.

:iagree:

get a preapproved loan first then go down there and know the price it should be for the car you want.
