I usually face bad service experiences with refuse to revisit, but coming from a service background I think this sales person deserves a review. I have never seen anyone as shady and dishonest as Al Rehman. During my visit at Dessert Nissan Las Vegas I have repeatedly explained that I WILL NOT be taking the car home on the same day. Al keeps pushing for a President-Day sale and rudely ripped up the lease proposal in front of my friends and I when he couldn't force it on us.
I went to look for an Altima to lease in my name because the lease on my family car is about to end. I have previously looked at Fletcher Jones Toyota so I know even though I'm 24 and haven't financed s before, I have no issue leasing by myself between my income and credit score. I was approved for a 2014 Camry SE with $1500 down MSRP $27,106 before any negotiation. The Altima I looked at yesterday was roughly $23,000 MSRP.
After running my credit Al came back and told me they only finance to 1st time auto buyers and not lease. However if I wanted to lease he would make an exception for me (typical sales strategy) but I'd have to put $3 - 4k down to drive off. It's funny to me how a camry that cost $4000 more only wants $1500 down and he is asking for so much more but I do understand every dealership has different policies so I thought altima just wasn't for me. As I was getting ready to leave Al then asked me how much I would put down and I said no more than 2k. He does his little walk around the desk and came back to tell me "that would be the lowest they would go" and then explains the rest of the proposal to me. So finally we are both clear on the fact that I could lease by myself. In the next half an hour he tried to trick me into signing the proposal before picking out a color; he lied about the car not having bluetooth audio and said if I want that it would be at least another k until I confronted him to look at the window feature breakdown of the car I test drove. I highly doubt an experienced car sales would not know what their base model comes with so it is very shady to trick your customers into thinking they have to pay more for something that comes with the car so you can milk your commission.
At last I explained to him once again I would be able to make a final decision within the next few days but I want to find out insurance and registration details first. This is my first car I'm going to make certain of my decision and not drive it straight off the lot. He tells me I would never get a deal like today and walks off ripping the proposal.
I really hope my experience would be helpful to anyone trying to buy a car at Dessert Nissan Las Vegas. Don't let anyone pressure you into spending your hard earned money if you are not ready.
