      This has to be THE WORST dealership ever! In December 2022, I went there to try and finance a '17 Rogue that was advertised on their website. I immediately saw the car and the onlly salesperson(Stan) was busy with another customer..The place looked like a funeral home inside. I finally got his attention. Right away, I told him that my credit wasn't good and I had a 09 Murano and $500 for a trade. He told me no problem, he was so busy with the other customer, he gave me the keys, to try it overnight! Yeah right.. After not hearing anything back, I began to call and after getting the runaround for days, I assumed they couldn't approve me. I called again and the games began. He started asking for more cash down and tried to offer me cars that I wasn't interested in. I can't count the number of inquiries that started to pile up! Eventually, I had to call the credit companies and have my reports locked. Everytime I called, I'd get one excuse after the other and still no car. I've never heard of a dealership that doesn't intend to sell cars. They even called me to tell me that I left my Handicapped Tag in the Rogue and I could just come and get it at the desk. I went after work and surprise, surprise no tag. At this point, it's March '23 and I'm collecting letters from finance companies, notifying me that although they couldn't approve me for the 2022 NISSAN ROGUE, they made another offer on different terms to the dealership and there's still no response. I never wanted a '22 Rogue, what? I think it's unfair and probably unlawful for them to destroy anybody's credit with ridiculous inquiries for cars that the customer isn't even aware of as well as their unprofessionalism and underhanded business. I think they should be investigated for fraudulent business practices. I'm pretty sure they'd find loads of red flags even worse than my experience. This place needs to shut down just like their ******** dealership across the street. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!
