Glendale Nissan has always been shady. But their most recent dealing with me takes the cake.
My lease is up tomorrow. So I'd done all the inspections and such, and called Glendale Nissan to do my return -- just like the instructions said (they say call your nearest dealer for an appointment). We made an appointment for today at 6pm. I show up, and they say "sorry -- we don't take lease returns. Our lot is full".
What the heck is that about? I don't have time to shop around for a dealer that will take my car. I thought that was one of the advantages of doing a lease -- you just drop it off! I can't afford to take the day off the work to chase them around.
Not sure what to do now. I'm going to call corporate in the morning and make them come up with a solution.
This whole end-of-lease thing has been as shitshow, and that's after really enjoying the car for the last three years. First they handed off all my contact information to every dealer in southern California .. so I've been getting cold sales calls day and night from every dealer south of Bakersfield non-stop. Its worse than the political callers. Then they contracted the inspection to a company that doesn't actually have a business location. They would only do it at my place of work (which is a secure facility -- no way) or at my home... so I had to take a day off to have them meet me at home. Now this.
I've loved my electric car. I think i'm done with Nissan.
