| - Found the Nissan Versa advertised on their website for a set price. Contacted Tiffany with internet sales and she verified what the website states "what you see is what you get, no surcharge." We drive over and a guy Miguel approaches us in the parking lot. We explain to him what we are looking for, again.
After several minutes of unnecessary conversation, which includes the typical convincing words of a car salesman, we see the transparent tricks of why so many Americans have terrible credit and are also backwards on an automotive loan. The pitch includes:
1) We should finance through them rather than the credit union. They can meet their rates and finance through that same credit union!!!
This would be great if we hadn't planned ahead and already received a pre-approval with our credit being run. Francis would mean our credit is going to be ghost twice in one week, creating an unnecessarily deriogatory efffect. We explain our disagreement to hear
2) Coulter Nissan must run your credit, regardless goog how you okay two verify identity. Something to do with terrorism. Seriously?!! A background check would be sufficient bald also protect the public from ANOTHER hit on their credit.
Basedn these first two items, we came to the conclusion that Coulter Nissan seems 're starving you eat the publics credit score ALIVE in a more than desperate way to get your financing.
Nonetheless, we waited for the "out the door" pricing sheet. Miguel returns with a sheet which has the internet price. HOWEVER it also includes a $1977 charge for
A "Coulter care package." The website advertises " the price you see is the price you get." BEWARE! Not true. We were told they CANNOT sell a vehicle without this package. This package we did not ask for includes:
1) window tint warranty. this is not something of value to us. We are loyal . Nissan owners and have never had an issue with the tint
2)nitrogen in tires. We are loyal Costco members and Costco has free nitrogen. Again, no value.
3) maintenance package. This includes tire rotations and oil changes for 3 yrs or 36000 miles. Not to exceed 4 in one year. Again, Costco offers free tire rotations. No value there. Oil changes, 4 per year for three years, a total of 12. Okay, this has some value with $40/per change, I can see $480.
4) wheel locks. You get locking lug nuts on your tires. Looking at stock rims and tires, not an item of interest. However, I will give them a value of $100
5) encryption to prevent theft. Your VIN is encrypted in certain parts, like the windows. This will only prove beneficial if your vehicle is stolen and posted it to someone CERTIFIED to view this, not including craigslist, or the like. No value to us. I will give $200 for the effort.
In the end this additional $1977 cannot be eliminated.
We offer to raise our price $800, which we feel is a more than fair value for this package.
Miguel goes to his GM to see if they can"get a deal." The GM comes out and goes in several directions including "I can definitely get you into a car for that price" leading us to a used vehicle. OVER $1100 which they won't budge on for apackage we didn't ask for and do not want!!!
In the end, we do not want our credit hit again, we want to keep our financing and we do not want this package though we were willing to compromise. No deal! Waste of our time and insulting. Wish I could give zero stars
