Well it sounds like this dealer is consistent with their shadiness.

Just spoke to a friend who’s a GM of a large Nissan dealership. As I suspected, they have no ground to stand on.

To bring this to a semi- conclusion, I returned the car. Really didn’t need the aggravation. Was it a good deal? Yup. Was it a unicorn? Hardly. I’ll just keep an eye on the current market conditions (new and used). Back to driving my Tundra and Fit 😢😢😢.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the car on CarGurus. It will be mildly interesting to see if they sell it before KMF pulls all support for ‘19s.

Did you get paperwork to make sure you are no longer financially responsible for said vehicle?

Good stuff then, as long as the paperwork trail exists, thats half the battle in case they decide to pull another fast one.

Leave them a 5 star review!
Honestly - good for you; like you said, not worth the hassle. Plus with cars (almost all cars at least), the deals will only get better! Wait for the 2020 Stinger's later on this year
