We just bought our Xterra from Passport Nissan in Alexandria about a week ago. I had found them through the Internet and negotiated a great price, mostly by e-mail and telephone. They didn't have the exact car on the lot that we wanted, so they went out and found it for us. They had it ready to go the next day. I would recommend them to anyone.
However, I also had visited Brown's Nissan in Arlington because of an ad they ran in the Post. They tried the old "bait and switch" with me. They kept trying to sell me the car that they had rather than the one that I wanted. They kept saying they could find the one I wanted, but the one they had was "just a little bit more." (I wanted an XE, and the kept pushing an SE at me.) I looked in a mirror, saw that I really didn't have the word "Stupid" tattooed on my forehead, and told them we were leaving. Then, I thought I was going to have to arm wrestle the salesman for my car keys.
