Ummm…..didn’t you get a receipt for that deposit?
They never cashed the check. I was dealing with the salesman I have bought cars from for over 25 years Working for a locally owned multi nameplate dealership. I trust him. Unfortunately, all but one of the stores were bought by a large regional corporation. Only the Nissan store was bought by a different company, but he could still sell for them. They just held the check like they had in the past. Then the Nissan store was sold again. Then they went through three general sales managers. Another sign of the problems at Nissan. I have a receipt for my deposit on my Z?
Well that makes more sense at least.
Don't worry. If the check wasn't presented to your bank within ninety days, it's "stale-dated". Your bank will not honor the check after then.
Speaking of Mickey Mouse, the House of Mouse isn't much better. If you buy tickets, and need to cancel, they won't refund your money. I also believe they won't allow a schedule change either.
Being in Canada has nothing to do with mark ups,most dealers in Canada are marking up the cars from 5k to 30k.
its not the markup on the price itself. its the packages they are adding along with looking for finance options. financing the car in Canada with Nissan will net them another $20k in "profit". that along with "locking lug nuts" "tint" "winter prep package" "coating package" "nitrogen air" and any other over priced packages they want to add to justify the price.... Id put money on 99% of orders having some kind of added "package" to bring the price up.
These add ons will only be tacked on to on the lot cars for sale. For which the dealers do not really have it. The pre-orders need to come in first before any real floor stock. The early demos that came in around Christmas time are just that, demo models. Some dealers chose to sell their one and only allocation, most have held onto them. If you've ordered a car from them, or are waiting for a reservation. They can't add any of that stuff on without your consent. Thats in the finance room where they upsell you on packages such as those. Don't forget about the rust boxes and police etching haha.
as I agree with what you said... the issue lies with the "pre-order". the pre order doesn't mean a thing. you have absolutely nothing tying you to a vehicle, Vin's have never been assigned and prices have not been locked in... anybody that pre-orders has no clue if the car showing up is theirs or when
The dealer that I have a pre order with had two Z's that came in around the same time end of Dec. they don't just get one, both demo models and were marked up considerably without packages,as long as they don't say the price is the msrp they can do this.They won't tell me what price I will pay for my pre order until the car comes in but hinted that it won't be msrp.We will see.
I had preordered mine in Jan 2021, put $1k deposit down not yet knowing the price. When the official pricing was announced I think around March the dealer contacted me to sign an invoice that included MSRP Destination taxes etc., car arrived in mid January 2023 there were no additional costs added. I don't know if this applies for Ontario only but dealers are not allowed to force buyers to purchase dealer installed options, warranty's etc., and can not sell above Nissan's MSRP advertised price.
