Nissan of Lake Charles sucks!

[Spunt Drag]

The old lady wanted a Nissan murano, been wanting one for a few years. So we decided to go look at them after seeing an ad in the paper advertising them for cheap after discounts and rebates. We get there and they pull bait and switch. Try to put her in another package that's $10k over the advertised offer. They were extremely pushy. Tried to walk out several times but they literally wouldn't give my wife her drivers license back. I thought I was gonna have to call the cops for false imprisonment. We finally walked out and the salesman comes running out on the phone (bull****) and says he's got a wholesaler on the phone right now who will come pick up her car for $6k but it has to be right now. I mean this guy was pulling every trick in the book. She ended up buying a murano but now is having trouble gettin service that was promised. That place is the epitome of Car salesman stereotypes. I went up there Monday and her old car was still there, maybe that wholesaler changed his mind. It's a disgrace. Don't ever go there and deal wit these wild animals.

P.S. I bought a truck from Bolton Ford last December and it was nothin but a pleasant experience. They shot me straight and didn't hassle or try and run any games or gimmicks.

They makin underhanded deals.... ERYDAY!

My wife and I went a few years back just to give nissan a chance even though we knew she would end up in a Yukon XL. It didn't take more than five minutes for me to leave and know that I would never go back there.

After all that you posted, you actually bought a vehicle from them? It seems like you might of been forewarned as what to expect but you didn't pay attention to them. Next time RUN

Correction, my wife bought a vehicle there. Figured Id warn the members of saltycajun.

Here's a trick when buying a car..... walk in with a copy of your license and a copy of your trade in keys........ when you ready to bounce...... you have nothing to worry about.

Funny, I was just about to post up something about Lake Charles Mazda which is owned by the same idiot that owns Nissan of Lake Charles.

The wife wanted a Mazda6. I tell her to go test drive first to see if she likes it. She likes the car so I go on my way back from fishing and look at it. The salesman is a pretty nice young guy, just got out of the service. Not too pushy. I tell him I will talk to the wife and we will get back to him. The wife and I talk and she wants the car. I email him the same and tell him to send me his best price. He writes back and says he wants to earn my business, how can he do it. I write back and tell him to earn my business, you have to at least give me a price and I want your best price. He tells me he will work up something the next day. Several days go by and I hear nothing. Yesterday I get an email that say he can sell me a car for MSRP. Wow, what deal! He also tells me all the dealer added services they did to the car I will get for free! A simple search on autotrader.com reveals much better deals.

*** is wrong with these people. I guess they think everyone that comes in there is an idiot. Granted, lots of folks are idiots,and they make their money off of them, but if you treat everyone like a moron you are going to pizz a lot of folks off.

The owner is supposedly from New Orleans and from the way they operate their dealership I believe it...bunch of shuck and jive and BS.

I have already found a deal on a Mazda for far below what they offered (MSRP). They won't be getting any of my business. You should sell the sales force they have up in Deridder. Most of them don't have teeth and they all look like they came out of a homeless shelter. They all say the same stupid lines when trying to sell you something. These folks are such a joke.

Yeh man never listen to what they say. Guy at Acadiana Dodge tried to tell me he had a wholesaler in town just that day that his specialty was a Honda accord which my wife was trying to trade. And he could give her best value. He was trying to get us in a brand new Durango Citadel for like $45k. I talked my wife into leaving and came back a month or so later and they had one with 15k miles for about $10k cheaper. Jumped on that one and they gave us same amount for her car they were offering when "accord man" was in town.

I do not live in Texas and agree with spending my money local but we are currently in the market for a vehicle and we have looked around Baton Rouge. Just out of curiosity I looked on eBay for new vehicles and found a dealership in Texas that is advertising the same vehicle as here for $4000 cheaper and with lifetime power train warranty. I did contact one of the salesman here that I was dealing with to ask him if he could match it and he said no way. I have not contacted the Texas dealership yet but I do plan on it in a couple weeks when I'm ready to buy.

Read the fine print on the " lifetime ppowertrain" policy. You prolly would have to do all your service there at a ridiculous price" Live in Louisiana, earn Louisiana money buy in Louisiana. The car you are looking at in Texas might nit have same equipment pack. Or better yet been in some kind of let say hail damage,, insurance paid them off and guess what u buy a car with 10k in damage and they fixed it up and of course they will sell it to you for $4000 less and still made $6000 off off you and plus $10k from the insurance company.

Just read that fine print! Lifetime Powertrain Warrenty for no extra money. You pay ZERO for repairs ANYWHERE in the nation and they are a top rated seller with 100% positive feedback and that was out of 141 reviews. And these vehicles are brand new from the factory so I don't think you have to worry about hail damage. Think I'll drive to Texas and keep my hard earned money in my pocket.

I'll go where the deals are the best. If I find a good deal in La, then I'll buy in La. Not a dumb statement in my book.

Dear Mr. Nozepicker,

I generally don't complain much about anything. I would like to know what makes you an expert on this subject? Or at least that is the impression I'm getting from all your posts.

My wifes past 2 cars were located in Texas, then we got the local dealership to go get them and bring them to LC and we bought them from the local dealership.

The first one was with Bolton. On the second one, unfortunately, we didnt hear back from our salesman the following day like he said we would, and after a couple days of feet dragging we had to go Tarver to get it. It was a specific vehicle and both dealerships were looking at the same one that was located in Dallas, she really didnt want to lose it by waiting. Tarver was sending someone to get it right then. I still find service at Bolton and Tarver to be pretty equally comparable.

[swamp snorkler]

I know Bolton Ford is a sponsor and I thank them for that. However the best car buying exp. I had was at LaFourche Ford. Talked to Jude the Dude whowas just a salesman at the time. Told him to give me his best price, I liked it, it was it and that was that. He was cheaper then Robichaux and Terrebonne Ford and they are local to our community.
