Car buyers beware! The people at Douglas Nissan at the valley automall are not only rude and pushy but use deceptive "pre-approval" practices. My experience at Douglas Nissan was the most frustrating, stressful, and just down right the worst experience of my life. My story is I went to trade my vehicle and purchase a new '05 Altima. Everything was going great until they pulled my very nice and helpful salesperson Robert Mclendon and sent over Gus Anaya. This was the epitome of a salesperson.

I went to purchase a new 05 Altima. After 6 hrs of them telling me what they wanted and being rude and ignorant we came to an agreement.

The deal was 1000.00 down and a payment of 448.00 a month. Two days after purchasing I went to go to work and it would not start.

They offered me the number for a tow truck. When I asked to speak to the manager, well he was busy.

i then decided to read the book and found a way to deactivate the ignition iterupter that was preventing me from starting the vehicle.

I drove straight to Douglas Nissan and was told there porter has been jammig the relays in and bending the prongs.

Three days later I went back to "finalize" things and was told unfortunetly I would need an additional 5000.00 down.

After arguing the fact that we already had a deal and was driving the car for 3 days, I against better judgement , scraped the money together they were requesting.

I then was told I would have to come back the next day with a paystub which had not been asked for up to this point. I said no way and went to United Nissan.

Got the same deal, only they are tintng the windows and giving me every other oil change free.

Beware this is not the first time they have done this. Its a gimmick to make you really want the car and to give them more money.

There customer service is horrible and they are all snobs. I had no problem with 1 salesperson in particular but after research online I have found reports on him to.

I can say this wa the worst experience of my life. Stay away from Douglas Nissan. Go to Desert or United they will give you an honest deal.

I have filed a report on this site about Douglas Nissan as well. http://www.ripoffreport.com/view.asp?id=171256 To the employee above, many of your suggestions are correct, but you work for an unethical dealership. Not just a dealership that has unethical employees you don't know about, but the dealership itself.

First of all let me say that I do not work in Sales at Douglas Nissan. I am a manger in a non sales department but I have worked in sales before. The number one complaint I see here from people when it comes to car sales is "pushy salesman" or "rude salesman" .... people we are not the only show in town. If you are willing to fork over 10's of thousands of dollars to someone you deem rude then who is the ignorant one? I know when I was buying a house I crossed off every realtor that I thought was too arrogant or more concerned with their commission than my hapiness. No car dealership is perfect. Yes, you will have some people who lie or misrepresent vehicles or themselves but people are the same where ever you go. The most important thing is buyer beware. You have to know that no dealership is going to sell cars "2000 below invoice" or "pay off all your debt" or anything else to sell you a car. We are in business to make money ... as simple as that. You then close your letter saying to go to another Nissan dealership to get an honest deal. That statement is the absolute epitome of ignorance. The only way you will get a "deal" is if you educate yourself as a buyer. Go into the dealership knowing what you will pay and what you will put down on a car. If they are not willing to do it then leave. I am sure you work too hard for your money to leave it up to someone giving you a "deal". One last thing to remember never try and negotiate with a salesman. This is what they do for a living... you may buy a car once every few years but they sell them daily. YOU WILL LOSE! Lay down your price and don't give in. That is the only way you will be happy with your purchase. I am sorry you feel like you were ripped off and I hope you are happy with your Nissan regardless of where you purchased it.
