My Review of Legend Nissan:
I just bought a 2007 Nissan Sentra 2.0 - the base version, that had 13,800 miles on it. It was listed at $13,488 on the cars.com website.
When I got to the dealership my father and I were greeted by another guy at the new car lot. I went in with a printout from cars.com about a 2007 Nissan Altima for $14,000, but they didn't have it in stock anymore. Then he showed me a comperable one, but the battery was dead becasue they left the lights on overnight.
I didn't really want the Altima that much anyway, but I figured at that price I couldn't help but check it out.
Then we went over to the used lot and the sales manager there, Paul, came over right away to help us. He was very friendly and nice to deal with. Unfortunately, he couldn't find the keys to the car. We had to leave the dealship for about an hour or so before he found them, but we were persistent about wanting that particular car, so we were willing to come back.
After an hour we came back, he finally found the keys. The car was parked in the back of the lot, so he had to move a couple of cars out of the way, which wouldn't have been a big deal, except it was freakin' freezing that day, which isn't his fault.
Drove the car. Liked it. Went inside to negotiate. Showed him the cars.com printout and basically that was it. There wasn't much negotiating (and when I say much, I mean none at all) because he said the $13,488 price was already about $700 under what they paid to get the car themselves. Whether that's true or not, I didn't consider it a big deal, I thought the price was pretty good for a one-year old car with less than 14,000 miles on it.
Finalized the paperwork in about two hours and was out the door.
Paul was great to deal with. The only thing I didn't like was when we were going over the insurance he said he "knows a guy" who can get me insurance and would find the best rate for me. Well, he found some company - Adirondak - that I never heard of. I just agreed to it to get off the lot, basically. Paul said they were the lowest. I said "lower than Geico?" and he said yes. So when I got home I went to Geico and requested a quote and it turns out Geico was like $400 cheaper. So, whatever. Not a big deal. I'm not going to blame Paul for that, I'm sure he'd get some kick out of the deal. He's just doing what he needs to do. Just a heads up to others who might be taking insurance upon recommendations from auto dealers.
Overall it was a really nice experience at Legend Nissan. I'd recommend them. But definately go in with a printed-out price quote from an online site. If I didn't have that, I'd have probably paid $2,000 more.
During the one-hour break I went to the Toyota dealership next door and they were charging insane amounts for 2006 Corolla's that were way above what the prices were online. Didn't like their cars or their dealership. I'd definately recommend this place.
