I was told by Mitchel (a sales rep) over the phone when I was calling to inquire about the new price option they had, (pay half of the sticker price for the car) that this indeed was not a lease, and that we would be financed for the first half of the sticker price, then financed the other half after the first loan was done.
When we came in to see him, I again asked if this was a loan, and he said no.
The gentleman trying to help "pressure us into the deal" assured us this was not a lease we agreed to the deal.
We also asked the financing guy if we were in a lease, he said no multiple times.
When we got the contract to sign, it did infact say lease, so we asked him why did it say lease. He said because the "price option" was such a new program, they did not have the proper contract to sign, and that our real contract would be sent within 30 days.
He did go over the 12000 mile clause but said that was only a matter if we choose not to finance the other half of the sticker price after the fist loan term was up.
When I got my payment coupon, it indeed said a lease, so I called back, and was told that I was indeed in a lease. So I called and talk to Charles Wallace and he said there was nothing he could do, because we did sign a contract stating a lease. I told him what happened and he said I'm sorry there was nothing he could do. That is was my word against his dealership.
So I got my credit Union to send a check to Nissan to pay off the lease, and Nissan has lost the check, and no one will help me. So in a couple days I will be hit with a late fee because I can not afford to pay my loan and this bogus deal from Harrelson. Buyer Beware!
