Reasonable dealers NY/NJ

kielbasa16 · 02-16-2010, 11:06 PM

I apologize in advance if this is a reposted thread. As I begin my search for most likely a black 09 with Sport Package, I want to compile a list of reasonable dealers in the NY/NJ area. I have already dealt with some snooty people just going for a test drive. I plan on going to all the dealers I hear people have had good experiences with, I live on Long Island but would definitely be willing to travel a few extra miles. I just went through the list of sponsoring dealers here on the forums and noted those in the area. Thanks!

I would tend to disagree with you. He did his job and he did it well, however the customer service experience with him was lacking to say the least. He was the finance guy when I bought my truck from Ford, I almost didn't buy the Z when I walked into his office and saw it was him. I was pleasently suprised he had gotten better over the preceeding year and a half. Still though first impressions. I have 2 salesmen who were terrific, the one who sold me my truck and the one who sold me the Z. The one who sold me my truck works at Ford and also sells Nissans. I went to buy my Z but the other salesmen scared me over to Nissan saying no one there could sell them. Some can, kinda felt bad he wouldn't get the commision. Overall, if you want a Z, Flemington is a great place to go. If you want a Ford, theres only 1 salemans whos worth it. Nextbest, who was your salesmen?

I have a contact at Pine Belt Nissan. Between myself and a few friends and family we've sent over 12 people to him over the past 5-6 years. So if you need a good dealer ask for Rich Hendrickson @ Pine Belt Nissan. Tell him Mike (Armada) & Frank (Frontier) sent you over and he'll take good care of you.

Noted, thank you. I really think a list like this will be beneficial as more people start their search for a Z. Based solely off internet pricing (I don't know if that is an accurate measure or not) many dealers on LI are posting Z's for way too much, but hey I guess they get the occasional sucker. Also, sending more people to reasonable dealers rewards those Nissans who treat customers well. What goes around comes around!

That being said, any more?

Robert P. I did all negotiations over the internet and phone with him and wanted everything set up when I got there, it wasn't. Spent hours there while he was trying to deal with another customer and by the time they were ready to call my insurance (which I gave him all the info the day before) they were closed. I told them I was not coming back so unless they deliver it they can keep the car. Sure enough it was in front of my house at 10am the next morning

Ha! Sounds like sending a clear message like that tends to get stubborn dealers' attention.

Don't bother with any of the dealers in Brooklyn or Queens. I went to all of the Nissan dealers in Brooklyn and I went to two in Queens. They're a waste of time.
I bought mine from the Nissan dealership at Hasbrouck Heights; they were definitely reasonable, but I'm sure there's other dealerships in Jersey which are stellar. I don't really have a clue as to what the current disposition of dealer stock/inventory is currently, but I think you should still be able to score a Z below MSRP.

Good Luck!
I had a hard time finding my z.

fullmonty · 02-17-2010, 04:18 PM

Bobby F. sold me the Z, and Ed W. sold me my truck. Both were more than willing to take time out and show you the car, answer all your questions, were kind and curtious, and they both exceeded my expectations. I spent alot of time in all the Flemington dealerships and the 2 of them really come out on top. I'll personally vouch for Ed that he'd treat anyone with the same respect as he did me.

Ramsey Nissan... The only dealership out of 4 that didn't screw me over. By far the biggest and nicest Nissan I've been to, and they have a showroom specifically for Z's. I went from six to midnight when I saw it.

Thats my dealership lmao.

I bought my Z in June 09 at Koeppel Nissan in queens. Pretty good experience. When I pulled out the invoice sheet the salesman was like, "where did you get that". LoL. When I went to Nissan of Manhattan no one ever came to the showroom, too busy not selling cars I guess so I just left. Nissan of New Rochelle wouldn't even give me a test drive without a deposit, I'm like wow there treating it like it's a GTR, I think it was the only Z that they had. Koeppel Nissan I believe is the largest Nissan dealership in the NY. If anything I spoke to a salesman named Saiful, I can get you his number if you want.

yeah koeppel nissan is where i got my 370 back in september, really good dealership.
