ir_fuel Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Oh really? You tell me the difference then. Ok, he's referring to the batteries, and i was to the "knob" itself. But in the end its boils down to the same kind of remark imho .... http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... 4093#44093 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 weird. Nissan Suck. They have to address this or they will drive away their premium customers (muranos and 350Zs) as we will all run off to drive Porsches! Nonsense Just check the price difference between a Nissan and an equally specced porsche. To get a Z you have to go into cayman S territory, making the buying price for the same level of equipment approx 50% more expensive Different price bracket altogether I could of bought a Porsche but I chose the Zed as it's a cracking car and insurance is much cheaper! My dads lexus cost 2.5 times what my lexus cost and the service was NO different. Both equally brilliant. It shouldn't make a difference on the price of the car - the company should be proving that it is wear and tear, not us proving to them that it isn't! IMO Nissan have a potentially major problem in good will as they are alienating their clients (premium clients do expect more as people who spend big on cars are usually successful and get what they want - to a point!)

ir_fuel Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 If you go to the TT forum you read the same story about Audi dealers. Isnt this some common "dealer" disease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I think it is within some manufacturers. I took my Lexus in with a broken stereo - sound familiar? Anyway, I walked into the dealer unannounced and was greeted with a pleasant 'Hi Stewart' They got a mechanic to look at it and he said book it in in a couple of days. This is the reg of the courtesy car you'll get..... Stereo replaced with no bill - 8 months out of warranty! Awesome. Nissan take note, this is what we want!

Stew Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Oh, got my chrome gearknob on that replaced too with no problems. And wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_dw Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I still maintain that the service received varies significantly from dealer to dealer. Don't think that we can generalise and say 'Nissan' has poor service and no goodwill. Up until now, my personal opinion of Nissan is very high due to the excellent service I have received from my dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 My dealer has improved however if you have to go to Nissan Motors GB they will not warrant a lot of claims. Like the gearknob that this topic refers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_dw Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I can only assume my dealer didn't refer my gear knob to Nissan GB before they replaced it under warranty then. Maybe I just got lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
