Bad Situation at dealer

Lone Wolf 75 · 08-01-2009, 08:55 AM

I had a similar experience years ago. I had just graduated college and wanted to see what new cars were available. I went to the local Nissan dealer, it was the end of the model year for the Maxima. The next year was a complete redesign, so the dealers were offering pretty good deals on the outgoing models they still had on their lot. Well, I walked into the dealer wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It must have been my age, but they tried to convince me that I didn't want/couldn't afford a Maxima and that I would be better suited in an Altima. I proceeded to walk out and take my business elsewhere. It was just that one dealer, every other car dealer I went to let cross shop at let me test drive.

I'd do as others suggested, find one you like on the web, send an email saying you are interested in buying one and would like to arrange a test drive, and go for it.
