That story about Serramonte Nissan is crazy. An Appt they didn't keep? What are they, doctors??
So, phalanxr, safe to say you are a "price" buyer? As opposed to monthly payment or trade or down payment buyer? Dealers will classify you that way, and may give one up to get another. Such as more money down to give you a lower price. Or lower monthly to screw you on trade.
I told them I want my payments under x ammount, i have very good credit so the interest rate should be low. At least it was when I got a credit app for an MR that i lost. 2.9%.
Im putting $5k down on it, if they cant give me a good deal im gonna get the wrx thats here and only put 4 down it and order stage 1.
