Philadelphia Nissan Dealers
I went into a dealership last weekend not knowing the invoice of the particular car I was looking at. They first asked for retail and I snickered, and said no way will I go that high. I made an offer that I now know was 1500 over the invoice. The car had 33 miles on it and had a very strange scratch on the left quarter panel, (it looked like a 4 inch rake attacked it.) Anyway, I shot my load with my offer and I don't t plan on going back.
Has anyone had a good experience with a dealership in the Philadelphia area?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a bad experience with O'neil Nissan where I bought my car so I switched to Colonial
They are decent They are tracking a 370z for me. I had my injen Exhaust installed there so they are OK in my opinion Try them They are on the web and are in Feasterville (NE Philly) |

I ordered mine from Bred Beans of Doylestown. I know it's not Philly but not too far from it though. It's worth the commute, I think.
Check out my thread, where I discussed the negotiation. |

Thanks fellas, I got two responses after I secured the Z. I just locked up a 6 speed Black/Grey Touring Sport w/Nav. an hour ago.
I am to pick up said vehicle on the 31st. I bought it at Drexel Hill Nissan from an old sales manager that I used to sell for.

Nice, good stuff man.
Hey man, I used to live in Horsham. I moved to Quakertown (temporarily) this past summer. However, I work in Horsham, right off of Blair Mill Rd...next to the UPS distribution center. Perhaps some day in the near future, after I get mine (sometime in May), we could meet up and check out each others cars. |

A 6 speed Black/Grey Touring Sport w/Nav. earlier this afternoon. I got the car for a few bucks over invoice and a very fair price for my trade. The best part was we never even talked about monthly payments even though I said I was not sure if it would be a cash deal or finance the purchase. I called him when I got home to get the monthly payment. It was funny as sh@t, when I walked in to see him sitting behind the desk, it felt like old times at the Nissan dealership I used to work for. We both hated the old dealer and left on bad terms. That dealership was Montgomeryville Nissan, both of the dealerships I am referring to are in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

Where I wound up ordering mine from, Fred Beans, my test drive was like 15-20 minutes. The salesman was super cool. He said "go wherever you want." So I took it on a near by expressway. He also knew the car inside out. So it was nice to deal with a competent person. |

DL, when I worked at Montgomeryville it was a circus......we had two salespeople that were facing felony gun charges, did VIN window etching, only focused on monthly payments, had crazy promotions like a money grab booth, filled mainly with singles. Our job was to fleece & gouge every customer we came in contact with.
