In the current environment, I believe nothing anyone says and hope for the best.

I work in this shit and honestly that's pretty much the best stratagy.

 

[Z hope]

Yes…but that still doesn’t really explain it…as I said…car shortages are a world wide issue, not confined to the us and manufactures pulling rebates, incentives and bonuses I would also assume to be world wide.

so …how come every other countries dealers can afford 0 mark ups, whilst you guys are talking a minimum of 5k?
What is different in the US to anywhere else, especially given you have the largest market share and will receive ( im guessing) far more cars than any international dealership?

He is trying to justify b.s. I live in AZ the dealership here is selling AT MSRP. They advertise on the radio NO car sold over MSRP. I have the 1st Choice of the Z they receive. The bottom line is simply there are dealerships that are “ Insert expletive here” .
There are some ( very few) dealership that are straight forward. The O.P is NOT a part of an honest dealership just that simple.

 

[Z hope]

I don't think Nissan is a silly or brazen as Toyota here, who is notorious for their "make one short of needed" BS.

The only reason I can think that they would do this is they believe we are heading into a economic collapse, or they believe the car market is about to bust with people not able to or willing to pay ridiculous prices especially when their stealerships tack on ADM. Or they believe the Fed is about to push interest rates to recession levels.

I think your on to something here.

I hope you do find a dealership that will sell at MSRP and not treat you like some of the people I work with. Being told “sorry things changed the price will be 5-15k over” will piss anyone off.

It’s all good . I have it in writing ! No add on’s no b.s . This is the way business should be done. Maybe you can go and fine an honest dealership to work for. Good luck

This thread reminds me why I never go directly to the dealer to buy a car. I use a broker instead. Did for my Supra as well as my soon to be GR86. Best car buying experience ever.

Oof. That "best customer service" all for the low low price of $5000 gratuity to a stealership... Just to have to notify those 100 people you're getting 2, and that doesn't mean your customers will be fulfilled unless you're the only salesperson. Maybe Bob has a guy with more money than brains willing to pay $12k ADM, guess who's getting one of those Z's. Because any stealership charging ADM cares about one and only one thing, money... They don't give a F about customer experience, integrity, people in general. They only care about money.

We have a dealership like that in NJ. Ditschman dealerships. Any "justification" given for ADM is pure bullshit.

No matter, hopefully the dealership model is not long for this world.

The end game goal is to transition to working for Nissan of USA. There isn't a Nissan dealership in my area that has the atmosphere that the one I work at does so I am happy here currently. Moving out of state just isn't an option for me and my family. Congrats to you though for real. When we finally start seeing Z cars I hope to see yours posted here!

It's a weird and violent relationship but there is a lot of truth to the statement that manufacturers like the dealership model. It is a very large cushion for manufactures to keep a positive relation with the owners of there products. It allows them to keep a positive relation with their drivers and push blame to dealers for their transgressions.

Interesting. Was just reading up on that approach - could be worthwhile if saving time and aggravations. A key though, seems finding a solid broker, which in itself could take some time digging around.

As someone who has never worked with or knew could even be an option. How does using a broker for a vehicle purchase work?
