Good luck. My boss got an offer like that for his Honda Odyssey.

There is no way they're going to give you 10k for that car. If they give you the appearance that they are, it's because they're raping you somewhere else.

shred that letter, that's a pretty common technique to get you all pumped up and get you in the door and get you to trade your car in for much less than it's worth to buy a new one.

these cars don't ever go into "high demand" that's a load of shit.

sorry to disappoint.

i would jus keep the Spec and pay it off.... ive made some really stupid choices with those things and now im in WAY over my head...$500 a month for an 06 Spec V isnt something to brag about...but i do love my ride...dont get rid of your Spec bro, jus make bigger payments, pay it off and enjoy actually owning a car

I didnt' know the origonal owners bought they car there, so it was a surprise to say the least. He got heckled by the senior salesguy, who told him he knew I worked here, and wouldn't do it...he didn't listen. Needless to say, he no work there no more

Honestly dude, if you really want to get rid of your car, and you have GAP, burn it claim it was stolen, and get a new car, sure your rate will go up some, but you'll be out of that Sentra and into a newer car (or older, whatever you have your heart set on)

They wanted to give me like 3k for my car... And I owned 6k at the time.

its hard as hell to try to appraise / trade in a spec or similar vehicle because its not a vehicle that some random 40yr man looking for a car is gonna by but most MOST MOST MOST ppl/ Dealerships have no clue the value of a spec or gti or si vehicles like that

AGAIN just my .02

wow, I got my car valued at $1500 at a dealership, because of a scuff on the front bumper...they said that was KBB, then I showed them the website print out of the value, and then said it was N.A.D.A., and after I showed them the printout from the N.A.D.A. website, they just gave my keys back, they just stopped trying

going to dealerships is honestly a enjoyable time for me, I know a little about how it works (working for a dealership), and when salesmen figure it out, they probably say to themselves..."fuck, this guy knows..." and stop trying to actually sell me a car. I also never try and talk to a salesmen. I go to the Sales Manager, tell him the last time I was here, I was treated very rudrly, and they help me themsleves...and I have gotten much beter deal offers

It seems like I always have to deal with the biggest douchbag there. I have had good experiences with good salesmen who actually care, but 8 out of 10 are just horrible

believe me i absoultly understand every single bit of what you say but also never ever forget that a salesman is just like anyother person.
with that said some salesman i would never never never ever even talk to but at the same time the commision is never nearly as much as ppl think it is most cars commision is between 50-100 where i am because we dont try and fuck ppl over. ****80% of dealerships are stealerships***

always give the salesman a fair chance if they dont meet or exceed your expectations tell them to get you another salesman or there sales manager

thats exactly what I do. I expect the salesman to know exactly what they are doing, and know if they are good at their job or not. I know what questions should be asked to better help them do what they can to getme into a vehicle, and the only time I can remember the sales guy who actually did a great job, couldn't get me into the car, becasue of my credit situation. Not only did he get one of the Finance Managers, they FM checked tons of banks, while I was sitting there on speaker phone, they even emailed, and called me to tell me that they couldn't find a bank that would help me out 2 days later...

I mean even the deal was good (and I know when it should be). It was a 2006 Infinti G35 Sedan 6spd with 25K or so mil, and they offered me 11K out the door. They only gave the guy $9K for it or so, and said as long as they made ANYTHING, they would be happy. They were also the onyl Nissan dealership here in Phoenix, that sold the GTR for the MSRP of $73K...so I believed them,a nd for good reaosn

If I really wanted a Nissan, I would go there instead of the place I worked at for sure...

other than that, all the dealerships I've been to are full of morons, and I am suprised that they are even in business...

Im friends with alot of salesmen at the dealers i work at and Id be safe to say to stay away from about 75% of them.

Some are creeps, some weirdos, some jerk-offs. Find a good salesman, one that watches you from a distance before they come close. I also recommend asking for a manager. Dont be a dick with the manager and get straight to the point. They have too much to do in a day then to sit and discuss price with you. Thats what salesmen are for.

you are exactly right man exactly right .. im one of the few good salesman.. i have many friends that are horrible that i feel bad for there customers but thats the business.

its not like im not on here trying to sell anyone a car or my services but presenting the facts as i know them and i hope everyone appreciating my insight

I sell Nissan as well. Before that I sold VW. I have owned 5 GTi's, and I am on my second spec. I know how hard it is from both sides, as a salesperson and a compact car nut I am usually designated to deal with these situations at the stores I worked for. I didn't see what year or condition your spec is, but sentras are high this year from the gas prices and it very well might be worth what you need, that is about what mine was bought for at sale a little over a year ago. As for the coupe, have your local dealer do a search of all manual coupes in your area. You can get the 2.5s for well under $20k and a 3.5se in the low 20's.

Just my .02

And the salesperson can still feed his family.

Do IT!

The spec-vs are in high demand because they are running out of QR25DE's to replace on the cars who's blew because of the pre-cat . They need your car for spare parts! LOL!

hahaa its nice being 17 and having an 04 spec v with 30k on it and not owing a penny..
