Had the finance manager basically try and scam me out of an extra 1000$ down at the last minute. I almost knocked him out made me feel like a freaking lowlife.

I had almost the same experience but not with Nissan. This was when I had my Si. It was a disappointing experience that should have been an exciting one. I gotta admit not so experienced then. I traded the car in for a nismo after 4 months just to erase the bad memory. All Im saying is, there are few, if not most, that does not give a Sh!t on you. All they want is your f@ck!n money.. Sad to say..

Im sorry to hear about your experience. I really hate car salesman who suddenly experience a sudden Alzheimer's Disease after buying the car.
Report this incident to Nissan America.

Post this story on the wall of nissan usa on facebook. Also call nissan USA to report this dealership. This story makes me angry and i'm sure nissan would not be happy to hear about the terrible quality of service from this dealership. I find it unbelievable a brand new car could have interior panels not mounted correctly like that from the dealership! Do people take no pride in their work? unbelievable.

No, but check your suspension for the transport spacers on the springs that are used during shipping - dealers are notorious for not removing them prior to delivery. AK provided a link above

thats why during the finance stage of buying the car you have to make sure the numbers are correct.

They can easily change things after the negotiation, hardly happens but you never know.

They usually just try to sell you on the alarm and paint protection bull ****.

No you won't be banned. Someone from nissan will contact you to talk about it likely. I did this when my 2012 370z blew its head gasket at 8k miles and they responded pretty quickly.

If you truly wish to post, clean up your original, remove the drama, stick to the simple facts of poor workmanship and refusal to fix in a timely and professional manner.

Life is too short to waste cycles on unnecessary things. The car is from NISSAN, its a good car. Dealers are independent and there is not a direct relationship there (sure they can withhold allocation but Nissan is in the business to sell cars...this is a drastic step not worthy of this case)

Some dealers/salespeople are actually not that bad. Many are just idiots (that is why they are in sales: work in any sales industry and you will learn this quickly if you do not know it yet...). I'm not suggesting to never be trustworthy of anyone...just use some common sense and remember to be accountable to be in the know of things prior to engaging. Knowledge is power, so don't sweat it too much OP
