Review: Dishonorable experience at Gwinnett Place Certified GTR Dealer, Duluth GA
 

Hey guys, I'm a 370z owner, was going to trade in the Z for a GTR. It didn't work out .. at all. I wanted to share the full story with you guys because this forum is my current home and I know this dealer is also a large 370z dealer.

I'm including a link to the original post on NAGTROC. I would advise you to look elsewhere, but if you are going to shop at this dealer, buyer beware.

Review: Dishonorable experience at Gwinnett Place Certified GTR Dealer, Duluth GA - NAGTROC - The Nissan GT-R Owners Club

To be honest, I'm totally turned off from Nissan but not sure what car is going to be next ... It's a shame, but they ruined it for me.

Still reading but i will comment on this..

You know straight away that the dealer is shady when they say the bank wont let you finance a car for a certain amount but they are willing to do it if you buy the extended warranty, which will add up to more than the original sum.

Thats when i will look for another dealership

everyone goes to mustangs...

Heh, my past has been gti, acura, sti, s4 audi ... I dont see myself getting a mustang, nothing against them, they are fast for not a lot of money, but I'm leaning towards another STi or an EVO. Something that is boosted from the factory.


You're right - I wish I bailed a lot earlier instead of after driving there and having my heart broken, heh for real. What a painful experience. I learned a lot though, for sure.

You shouldn't let this move you off of Nissan. All car makes have shady dealerships associated with them.

The Nissan dealer here in NY that I got my Z from had issue too - again, dishonesty and some hidden items / misinformation, etc. I'm still working to resolve that issue.

I know part of what you're saying is right, but two dealers to be so awful. I don't know. We'll see ... Right now I'm just furious.

It's all car dealerships. That's what I'm trying to say.

I've been given sleazy runarounds by Subaru, VW, Chevrolet, Nissan, Mazda, etc, etc...

Car dealers scrape as much profit as they can by seeing if you're paying attention. It's all sleight of hand.

Very much true. I do seem to have had more negative experiences with gm and Nissan though.

That's one thing - but trying to sell me a 66k GTR throwing a CEL and saying we can flatbed it to get fixed, and here let's do the paperwork. Come on, that's downright criminal.

And he lied...over and over. It's not even about a dollar. It's about being a complete ******* piece of **** human.

its not about the brand, its about the salesman you deal with it.

the GTR is too awesome to give up on :(

:iagree:

i have seen very very few dealerships that arent trying to bend you over with no lube

true, it would be unfair to the other nissan dealers that actually are nice and worthwhile to do business with. :)

yah, i cant see myself in a stang either. just not my cup of coffee (or burger).

Oh, I completely agree with you. I'm just saying, this guy would try to do this to you whether he's selling Nissans, Fords, Kias, or Lambos. It's the sales staff of that dealership that would lose my patronage from here to eternity.

It's things like that which are the reasons I eschew some of my local dealerships.

That's where I disagree. At the end of the day, Nissan Corp hires these dealer managers, who hire these idiot sales guys. It's a top down issue. And good luck trying to call Nissan corp, I've been redirected all day via the switch board, people dont know where to transfer my calls, etc etc. BS.

You are right about the GTR, my favorite car of all time (R32, 34, etc). My dream car.

Show me one. I'll fly anywhere in the US to find em. I already wasted 50+ hours with this one - show me a stellar sales staff and nissan dealer in the 48 states.


Some do look sharp though. I dont know, I just think an EVO or STI might be in the cards. Heavily tuned. We'll see.


Indeed. It's sad.
