My Review of Rockland Nissan:
This is one of the worst dealerships I had ever visited. I intended to lease an Altima Coupe and went here first because it was closest to my home. The dealer, named Frankie I. was your typical, chest-out, sly-grin, cock-sure type who piled up promises of including my first month's payment in the lease inception fees along with taking my current leased Honda off my hands and paying the last month's bill. Additionally, we discussed the lease term (36 months) and settled on what I thought were a little high (but barely within my price range) inception fees.
The deal was ready to be signed and that's when the trouble started. All of a sudden they could no longer take the Honda off my hands and I would have to eat the last month's payment myself. I was frustrated, but not yet ready to walk out of there. I agreed to paying the last month of my old lease and was taken to their finance department. There I was given the summary of my lease agreement, at which point the finance manager mentioned that my lease is for 39 months, not the 36 originally agreed upon. I stopped him there and said that there was no way I would have agreed to these terms, as I had no intention of paying an extra $1,000 of the residual nor having the car for 3 months out of warranty. The general manager came in at this point, swore that he did in fact tell me the lease would be for 39 months (not true) and that if I wanted the same monthly payments, I would have to make the first month's payment myself (instead of it being worked into the $2,000 inception fees). At this point I called off the deal, thanked them for their time and left the lot.
It was very frustrating and draining to burn close to 5 hours of my time, especially since I saved close to $700 on a counter-offer from Ramsey Nissan and was out of there with my new car in less than an hour without any unnerving surprises.
Maybe others have had better experiences with Rockland Nissan, but that was my last time stepping foot in there.
