Replying to: happy_hybrid_1 (May 23, 2007 1:36 pm) I think I may be able to get the same corporate discount you are receiving (Carperks?), so hopefully I will end up getting a similarly good deal. I'm up in NorCal, though, so unfortunately Garden Grove is about 400 miles away--probably a little far to go for a car. I haven't even gone in for a test drive yet (my timeline to buy is July/August-ish), but if you have heard anything about good dealers up in NorCal, I'm all ears.  As to the whole BBB thing--I don't think he would have had a legal case based on the specifics of the situation, and I don't think he ever reported it to the BBB (he works too much). He just got stuck between a rock and a hard place--the car was a surprise for his wife, he brought her out for a test drive, she liked the car, and then they sprung the price trap on him. It was either pay more or piss off his wife... he probably made the right choice.

Replying to: bcp01scu05 (May 23, 2007 3:39 pm) What if there is some problem with the car and you don't have to be stuck with it hoping it can be fixed under warranty? Transit damage with repainting and so on? |

if u in north cal u can try Vacaville... i just picked up one today. At time i still undecided is the right hybrid or car i want but for the price and 0.7 APR for 36 months i take it. i got the Winter Frost with Convenience Package and 4-Piece Carpeted Floor Mats for 24020 and OTD is 261xx so i'm think is pretty damn good price cause MSRP 27025 and invoice is $25,278 so which mean i got it 1258 under invoice. Oh all i have to do is called the internet department sale and got the quote just that easy. That Sale man is also super nice and friendly.

Replying to: happy_hybrid_1 (May 23, 2007 1:36 pm) let's face it, once you put down the non-refundable deposit, the deal is done, pricing is done. there is no more negotiating. you always want to work out your deal before you introduce money into it, ALWAYS!!!!

Replying to: langjie (May 24, 2007 11:38 am) It is juts another car coming off the assembly line that has a limited number or color and option choices. It is not as if the buyer could customize it in some weird way that would make it difficult for the dealer to resell. The dealer really has no risk that requires a non-refundable deposit. |

I special ordered my Altima Hybrid 2 months ago. I went to go pick it up yesterday. It was perfect. Sonoma Sunset, Blond Leather, Tech Package. When I got in to take it for a spin it had 8 miles on it. I put 4 miles on it, and returned to the dealer to fill out paper work. While we were waiting for the finance the department, the dealer took the car to the gas station to fill up the tank. In the 1/2 mile between the dealership and the gas station, the person driving the car gets sideswiped. It sounds like it was not their fault. I guess they were driving in their lane, and a Van literally turned into the left rear door, and wheel well. The damage is what I would describe as moderate paint/body damage, but I don't know if the wheel itself was bumped in the accident. I now have 2 options available to me, re-order the car and wait for a new one, or take delivery of the car that has been in an accident after the damage has been repaired. The latter option raises a lot of questions: Is the car even a new car anymore, or is it a used car now? If they don't sell the car to me, can they put the car in new inventory and sell it to someone else, or does it have to be sold as a used car? If it is not a new car anymore, then new car financing is no longer available, right? At what discounted price does it even warrant consideration to take delivery of the car that has been in the accident? There are many more questions that could be asked, but lets start there. Please respond with your opinions. Thanks. |

A reputable dealer would tell the new buyer about the repairs. A really good body shop can make the repair as good as new. The financing & etc is the same. A sideswipe can be fully repaired and should not have seriously damaged the structure of the vehicle. You might ask the dealer to throw in an extended warranty or something. Personally, I would order a new vehicle, even though the other one is probably OK. It is just that I prefer to damage and repair my vehicles on my own!

Replying to: happy_hybrid_1 (Jun 26, 2007 7:34 am) IMHO, i don't love a damaged and repaired car as much as a new one. There are some exceptions, like if it needed a new fender (that is an easy fix), but any major body work that required pulling, hammering, sanding, and/or repainting, no thanks!!!!
