My Review of Biener Nissan:
I have to agree wholeheartedly with the comment below--"They're kind of shady" I went to there facility on Northern Blvd. on June 13th 2005. I had called earlier in the day and spoke to a man by the name of Bryan and told him that I'd be there at 7:15 pm sharp to look at a Nissan Sentra SE R vin # 3N1AB51D33L720805. He told me that Maurice J. Waldo would be there waiting for me. When I arrived at 7:15 pm, Maurice J. Waldo was not ready for me nor did he know I was coming to look at the car. I waited around about 30 mins for Maurice to find a person to pull the car out (he can't drive a manual trans!) and a couple came in to look at an Infinity. However, when Maurice finally got the SE R out for me he told me that they were there to drive the SE R after me and they were serious about buying it (LIE!). I looked at the SE R and it was obvious that it had been sitting for some time. The cowls were filled with debris from the trees (probably from Autumn), the car was dirty, the brakes were almost rusted solid and when I drove the car I noticed the front end was really loose. I drove some more and he told me false info such as the car having a 2.4 liter engine 180 hp. He said that $12,000 was a "steal". I laughed and told him that I'd consider $9,500 - $10,000. After the test drive I got out to look at the car further. I noticed that the car's left fender was pushed out a bit and with further inspection I saw that the rocker panel was cracked where it meets the rear of the right front fender. Furthermore the fender had touch-up paint on it. It looked as if it fell off a jack stand or been driven over a curb. Moreover, there was similar damage on the right side rocker panel. I told him that I wanted to see the undercarriage of the car if I was to even consider buying it now. He told me "we don't have the facilities for that." I told him my I’d consider buying it at $9,500. He said good day. <br><br>I feel sorry for the person that buys that Sentra for the asking price. It has obviously been damaged and tampered with (possibly lowered, sloppy front-end changes, bad driving etc.) If I could give this dealer a lower score I would.<br><br>As the gentleman before me stated "they're kind of shady" and I regret that I gave them a copy of my driver's license in fear that they will do something illegal with it. <br><br>By the way "Beiner" is actually spelled "Biener" <br>That's:<br>Biener Nissan/Audi<br>795-803 Northern Boulevard<br>Great Neck, NY 11021 <br><br>Signed,<br>A person who knows a lot about cars<br><br>PS My Girlfriend bought a 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE from Westbury Toyota. The salesperson's name was Francisco Calixte and he was very courteous and kind. He sold us the car for %40 less than the Blue Book Value. We had a great experience. Maurice Waldo should take sales lessons from Francisco Calixte.
