Most Stupid Thing Heard From a Nissan Dealer
While shopping around for my Z, I heard numerous stupid things said from salesman at Nissan dealers who you would think knew something about the Z. So I thought it would be fun start a thread to hear what other members heard that were idiotic statements made at a Nissan dealership. One of my favorites was when I was negotiating a deal for my CY 370Z. The 2 salesman I was sitting down with both asked me if I knew what was the name of the yellow. They said no one at the dealership knew but guessed it might be Canary or Lemon. I knew that it was Chicane Yellow. They were all so amazed I knew it. I'm amazed that nobody THERE knew it! Care to add your favorite?

We have a gorgeous 2008 370Z here, come check it out!
I made them go look for it, and tell me what options it had, hoping they'd figure it out that it wasn't a 370Z... They still said it was...

While waiting for the finance guy, our salesperson was giving us brief descriptions of some of the packages we could buy and he mentioned that pre-paid oil changes would include tire rotations for free so that I could save money on tire rotations.

Another one that was AWESOME...
(I had a Maxima that was totaled and it sat at the dealershit, and they tried to sell me a new one, which I didn't mind) So, they brought a white one and they guy, like every sales guy goes, clean CarFax, 1 owner... I do a quick walk around, feel the paint, and I noticed something not Kosher... Popped the hood, awesome, for SURE painted... I told the guy, and of course, he says, CarFax CarFax!... (They REALLY love that dumb *** thing...) I showed him the paint overspray on the door jamb and overspray on the battery, and asked "Oh, so this is the way cars are from the factory?" He thought I was retarded and brought the sales manager... Sales manager said, yep, it's been painted and got a little pissed that they bought a damaged car... Next Maxima they brought... Guy says it's an SV (for non-Maxima people, S is BASE, SV is leather, foglights, turn signals on the mirrors, and home link?) He brings it out, gunmetal and I said "Oh, so dealer added leather?" "Oh no, this is factory"... "Um... No... This is a base S with added leather, see the lack of foglights and mirror signals?" "This is a special 2010 model, they offered just leather" So since the manager was still hanging around waiting for me to see the second one. I asked if I could get a word with him privately. Brought him over to the car, showed him something and said... "Look your boy doesn't know a goddamn thing about these cars. I really doubt Nissan fúcked up the stitching" (the center console lid and the door panels are "leather" no matter what trim package you get, and the stitching is like browny-orange... The stitching on the seats was white... LOL!!!) I also said, "by the way... Front bumper has been repainted, the rubber seal between the hood and the bumper is painted over" He asked if I wanted a job or could teach their sales team how to ID their cars

Last year when I was looking for my Z I saw a nice metallic silver base at a local dealership, surrounded by about 25 new and used Maximas. Stopped by to take a peak and a salesman came walking out...
"If you're going to do a lot of modding anyway, just go with the Maxima, you'll get the same power AND luxury."
