So most of yall know how much I hate my local Nissan stealerships. I hate them quite lot alongside the brand. This is the TL:DR for the new folks on here.

Now lets get straight to the meat of this. My local greedy ahhh Nissan Stealership found 4 financially illiterate and incomptent people to sell their Porsche, Ferraris, and Rolls Royce to this stealership.

For those that are thinking what this has to do with Nissans. Well they have been charging rape for every single Nissan product, including the base models (the affordable ones) through the stratosphere. And it gets worse with their service prices, which is they rape customers that goes further into the universe with no point of return.

Here is the listing: https://www.reednissanclermont.com/Vehi ... =607138804

Of course, they will say Call stealership for price, but CarFax posted the prices.

That's a shame (and foolish) when a dealer is not good, and doesn't believe in and practice good customer service that keeps folks loyal and coming back. One would think they would figure out that behaving will keep folks coming back for PM and repairs.

I don't know jack about Florida dealers, but I recall a month or two ago I was searching for a brand new GT-R, just for poops and giggles, and at that time, a dealer in Florida was one of the very few on the whole East coast that had one in stock.

So many things come to mind when you mention dealerships, 90% of them bad, but one thing that really shows them to be somewhat less than ideal is the provision on their sites to "value your trade in".
That is the biggest rip off among many rip offs. Every dealer site has this 'feature', and if you input your car, be prepared to be seriously lowballed.
I sometimes go to different dealer sites, just to see what's out there, and then for the fun of it, I input my car details just to see what kind of trade in price they come back with. Its pretty disappointing, to be polite.
I sold my Mazda 6 last year, and did the on line trade in pricing with my local Mazda dealer.
Just for fun, I even went to see them because they advertised they buy used cars for cash, for top dollar...haha.
They offered $14,000.
Looking on line at similar cars for sale, my Mazda routinely listed for between $21,000 to $23,000 retail.
Now I understand they don't buy cars at retail. There's no profit in that. Got it.
I didn't want to go through the hassle of selling my car privately. Dealing with a bunch of Yahoos showing up at my door and driving off with my car, or paying with a fraudulent cheque, is not my cup of tea.
Cutting a long story short, I sold the car to a Nissan dealer for $18,600. Zero hassle. Drop off the car, pick up the cheque.
I would say, do not bother with dealer on line valuations of your used car or potential trade in. They'll screw you over.
