I found a used vehicle at Peltier Nissan in Tyler, TX on their website and contacted Doug Kinnard about it. I told him we would be coming from Monroe, LA to look at it and asked him specific questions about it. I texted him the next day to say we were coming on Friday, 10/11/2013. I texted him again on Friday and said we were about an hour away from him. He still waited until we drove up to bother going out to the vehicle. The dealership was not busy when we arrived and about 12 salesmen were all standing in the parking lot staring at us. They claim the NADA value of the vehicle is $24,775 and they are giving the customer a “discount” of $2775, to make their price $22,000. I told him that neither the KBB or the NADA value of their exact vehicle were over $23,350. Doug said “Oh well our system generates the NADA value for us and it may be a bit inflated”. Seriously? The vehicle was so dirty that I had to figure out myself how to clean the windshield so that I could test drive it, Even though he started the test drive and made us switch drivers down the road. But he didn't bother cleaning it off. When he started it, it wouldn't turn over. It did on the 3rd attempt. There was a light on and he said he would get it over to the service center to have it checked. Said it "may" have an aftermarket gas cap?? Then when I asked for the Carfax report we found out it had been sold at auction twice and used as a fleet vehicle. And it was only 2 years old. I was told none of this over the phone. I tried to send him pics and vin info on my car to get a trade in estimate before going over. He didn't want to do that. The KBB and NADA trade in values on my care were $2500 to $3250. He offered us $750 for it. Clean title and one owner, never wrecked. Today, 10/24/2013, their website now has the “discount” listed as $6275, and their asking price is now $18,500.
