I've got 'em where I want 'em now, it's just time to decide which color I want, silver or dark gray, leaning towards another silver one, same color I'm driving now.
I conservatively estimated my current truck's value when researching the new truck, but Dealer "B" lowballed me real bad, and made me mad as heck with an offer of $360/month/six years. I've now got that dealer down to $300/month/five years!(with a lower interest rate!)

Same truck, too!
I can only guess, but I'm thinking that they wanted to pocket that incentive money Nissan gave them for year end closeouts, and they tried to stick it to me with fullboat retail price, while crapping on my trade-in. As a repeat customer with them, I got mad
![mad :mad:](./images/smilies/mad.gif)
and went over to Dealer "C", who'd already figured in the Nissan incentives into their tag price, and offered me, no questions, what I wanted for my current vehicle

. After I called over to "B" to tell them I wasn't taking their "fine offer", somehow my call got transferred to the company VP, so I didn't even know who I was talking to, when I let them have it hard, hot, and heavy.
After a 20 minute butt-chewing, now Dealer "B" is wanting to make nice, REAL NICE. I don't know for sure, but I think the sales manager and the salesman were trying to screw me hard while pocketing a real nice wad of cash

and the VP got them straightened out RIGHT.
I DO think they've("B") regained a lot of what they'd lost, with the offers they are making now, but I'm still not too happy with them. That's certainly not the way to treat a repeat customer, and the VP made that clear as a bell. In any event, Dealer "C" has a nice truck to sell me, without the drama, although it's not a color I'd prefer. We'll see how it goes this morning, I have an appointment with "C" at 0900..........
