NissanZClub Markup Thread

[TitanZ]

These dealer sales teams probably even charge their own mom an ADM and add-on tire nitrogen, greedy rat bastards. The worst part is all of the brands' dealer networks are colluding together to control the used car market as well. They are dictating higher "market pricing" by taking their new inventory with 6 miles on the odometer and signing it over to brother Ralph's dealership down the street so Ralph can list it as USED with a steep market adjustment basically equal to ADM if selling it as new, so these ass clowns are controlling both markets with their shenanigans...meanwhile I sit back and hope to win an Omaze raffle for a sweet new ride.

I'm sitting in the local Toyota dealer getting my wife's car serviced, already scheduled the $29.95 oil change and they're trying to tell me it's going to be $100 then they try to sell me on a $250 service. Acting shocked when I show them my appointment email says $29.95

Fuck all of these dealers are AIDS now. Trying to screw me on services too.

Corporate Toyota or Nissan absolutely doesn't care. They need to reign these bitches in or I'm never going to buy new again. I can fix my own cars too so eff them.

I just can’t believe it….servicing too?
In Aus this is false advertising any day of the week, and the dealership would be in serious trouble
I just don’t get how they can do it, and sorry but I don’t understand anyone defending dealer mark ups. It’s just highway robbery.

Yup, dealership too.

I was recently quoted $12,000 to replace the exhaust manifolds on my Nissan Titan (the parts were at 300% markup and they said they'd need to have a local welder do some of the work. I call BS) at the same dealership I'd attempt to buy a new Z from.

The Tesla sales model is looking really good these days. Too bad I don't need or want a Tesla.

I've been trying to buy a new truck for 9 months and it's been a totally fooked experience, I have absolutely no misconceptions that anyone's getting a Z at MSRP....

Rodland.

Swickard sucks too.

We bought my wife's car right before COVID and when it was Magic Toyota, was $5k less than Rodland.

However, getting her car serviced at Swickard was bizarre, they have very bad service department management.

I will say, when Rodland was asking $5495 ADM on the new Tundra, Swickard only wanted $995 ADM for basically the same Tundra.

Edit: they have two 6MT 86's here with no pricing....

Another edit: those GRs are "used" and going for $40k. This dealership has lots of "used" new cars

Probably going to have open bidding on them to the highest buyer.

That’s BS, when we owned the lotus it needed a whole new fuel tank fabricated because they didn’t make it anymore ( old Esprit) it still only cost a couple of thousand

Can you not go elsewhere for the servicing?
Don’t know how it works in the US…in Aus not only do you not have to take it to the dealer you bought from, you don’t have to take it to Nissan full stop.
You do have to make sure that whoever you take it to uses genuine parts, and is fully trained but there are a whole heap of places that do that now…and usually undercut the dealer, apparently against our competition law to forbid people from using other contractors …and yes the warranty still stands.

This is why our dealers have started to sell, set price servicing when you purchase the car…because then you have already paid for some of the services and if you pull out it’s your loss

Any issue which is covered by the warranty, is dealer-based only in the US.

Normal service such as oil/filter and consumables such as tires/brake pads is not. You can have them done anywhere.

The problem is, both Toyota dealerships in my area are a-holes. Actually, all dealerships in my area are AIDS. When I bought my Q60 I had to drive 50 miles through miserable traffic just to get one at a fair price, $5k lower than the 2 local dealers.
I think the dealers in my area collude.
In USA, it's common for many different dealerships to be part of a corporate group. Meaning, they share the customer database and sales tactics. If negotiations failed at one dealership and you go to a different dealership, chances are they belong to the same group and they already have notes on you. They're not going to treat you any differently.

My wife and I decided that our next home will have a garage that I can have a lift installed. I used to be an ASE tech, I can fix my own vehicles if I have a decent garage. And now that I am having issues with dealership service, I'm resolved to go back to working on my own vehicles.
