How fucked up is this? People taking advantage of elderly people is despicable. Found this on a group for my town. Fucked. Up.

I fucking hate dealers. They rip people off so bad.

Reminds me of the tactics Kirby Vacuum cleaner sales people use. Coerced into giving away the little money they have .

My spidey sense is telling me that another one of those "I sell cars and I'm just as human as you! AMA!" posts is a'coming after this.

I'm actually really glad that OP didn't redact any part of this

I'm kinda concerned that posting stuff like this might hurt a case some time. Allowing documents to get public can't be in favor of attorney
OmikronWeapon
also, not to be that guy, but we never know the full story. It could have been a scam to get a car for dodgy shit. unlikely but still

I briefly considered being a car salesman when I was working security on car lots. Saw what it entails. No thank you.
YourFriendBen
Generally just screwing people?
diablosword
Anything you get unsolicited that claims you "won" anything is to be completely ignored.

Sadly many elderly people are still literal readers and thus expect what is written to be what was intended.

Ya, they did a shitty thing but doxxing people is wrong. We shouldn't trust an angry internet mob to deal out proper justice.

Oh noooooo. I hope nobody does thaaaaaaat. Thaaaaaat would be teeeeeeerrible.

Should forward this to Nissan HQ... NIssan of America and Nissan HQ in Japan if necessary... they won't stand for this bad publicity.

Nissan doesnt care, i was unfortunately on the other end of the Murano transmission debacle. Lost my faith in them, switched to Subaru.
opkraut
Subaru dealers don't always have the best reputation for customer service either. Were they better?
moseywosey
Bought mine used, its a work horse
intenseintrovert
Doubtful it'll do any good. Dealers are essentially franchises that are free to make their own decisions.
leodavinci1
Depends... manufacturers can de-authorize a dealer, not sell them cars, etc.
intenseintrovert
One case is not going to warrant such action.
Cooter961relaxitsakindofturtle
And Nissan is one of the most strict manufacturers next to Harley-Davidson

One day soon car dealerships will be a distant memory. I look forward to the day we tell them to fuck off.

Never even talk to a car salesman. Know what you want and show up with cash.
theherrings3
Once I went to a dealership to buy a cheap car and faced 5 salesman before I even got inside. And, I was told I had to finance it. Liars.

I've always had the opposite problem for some reason.

Why not? We Oregonians sent dildoes to some other yahoos that took our bird refuge hostage and asked for snacks.

This guy is kicking himself now. For one sale he now gets to be harassed by the entire internet.
NephCohen
to be fair I would like to note that the guy this letter is sent to is the manager of the dealership, not the salesman that made the sale.
YourFriendBen
From the other comments, it sounds like the boss could very well enable if not encourage this type of practice.
DataLady
If this kind of thing were unacceptable to management he likely wouldn't even have tried it. Corruption starts at the top. Usually

CAR DEALERS ARE NOT "PEOPLE"

MadeOfSteel
I work at an insurance office near Kiefer Nissan. They have the worst reputation of any car dealership in Gresham
MadeOfSteel
They even took the name Kiefer off the building because they have such a bad reputation. Now it just says Nissan anywhere on their signs

New favorite flier in the mail; WE NEED YOUR '07 FORD FOCUS!! Guys, it's got 290,000 miles on it. You sure about that?
dEXm64
That's a mighty large brush you're got there.
throughthoughtthough
I had the old "take it home for the night" trick pulled on me once. I didn't talk to that dealership anymore.
idownvoteyouruglycats
Corporations are people too
Yourmuffinfuckingsucks
Yeah, because there is no way it isn't like EVERY SINGLE OTHER profession where there are good and bad people.
causality
Pieces of shit use lobbyists to make it illegal for manufacturers to sell directly to consumers. They all deserve to die in a fire.
YourFriendBen
Not die, but maybe lightly roasted?
fufuwewe
cars would be soo cheap then. Remember the whole "everyone should own a car" that started it all. It'd be like that.
Answer42
Which is why we need Tesla to keep doing what it's doing with respect to the dealerships. Hopefully that will open the way for others.
Corrodias
To be fair, the manufacturers *could* do this sort of shit, too... but then, they probably wouldn't want to, to protect their reputations.
Corrodias
Then again, GM let people die for 10 years because it cost less than fixing their broken ignition switches, so what do I know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
baconhappenis
They are master manipulators who will do anything for a sale
Quiet0ctopus
Not all of them, just most. They have a very bad rep, but those don't stay in business long. My mom ran her lot for almost 20 years before/1

And the guy posting sob stories about how car salesmen are good people can go straight to hell. Nothing good about car dealers.

Gotta love how yall fucks blame all car dealers for the scum of the 1% yeah it's a horrible thing but seriously calm the fuck down

Some what related and looking for advice. I bought a car off a guy who said it had 64,000 miles on it. Brought it home started doing some
RideTheTiger
Work on it. Found it had a dew other issues than what the seller told me about. Then I found it also was last reported to have 199,000 miles
RideTheTiger
*few other issues. Now I'm not sure that to do with the car. I can't afford a lawyer, anyone know what I can do?
Tom4te
and bring it to small claims court. Fees are around $150 to fill a claim, takes a couple months.
jasmineelee
My car has a mileage discrepancy and had to sign a form saying I was made aware of it before purchase.
Tom4te
If you have a screen-shot of the original add you responded to, that could help. Or any kind of correspondence to prove deception 1/2
RideTheTiger
Unfortunately I don't. Do you know of any way I can get an old craigslist ad?
notme222
Rollbacks are highly illegal, but hard to prosecute unless you have written proof he claimed 64k AND proof he knew it was higher.
notme222
This doesn't help you now, but for others or future reference: get a mechanic inspection on private sales. $100 could save a lot more.
RideTheTiger
He did sign a bill of slaws stating the false miles. My biggest problem is Michigan says that illegal rollbacks only apply to cars...
lloyd2287
The dealer in my town sold a new car to an 87 year old man with dimensia who had no license. The police found him sleeping

My father had dementia, the Mercedes dealership convinced him to buy a top range car. He had no idea what he was signing.
SchrodingersSchrodinger
How is that not illegal? Were they criminally charged?
flibolimay
We managed to back out of the purchase, but lost about £500 from the down payment they took.

That's nuts! I am sorry to hear that!

In the car because he had no idea how to get back to the nursing home.

You're forced to traverse across dimensions in order to restore your memory before you ultimately lose your own identity.
