Pin Stripes

Well, Harrisonburg Nissan of Harrisonburg, Virginia has stated that even if I don't want pin stripes on my Xterra, I will still be charged $180.00 for them in the final bill.
So, the question is, do you think the super black 2004 Xterra would look better with silver or dark purple pin stripes? They have quite a selection to choose from, any other tasteful ideas are appreciated.

Wait a minute! It doesn't have any pinstriping on it and they are forcing you to get it or pay for it? It's one thing if it's already on there, but they can't make you get it! I say fuck'em and go somewhere else! There's no such thing as tasteful pinstriping; it's all . BTW, tell them the 80's want their pinstriping back!

BTW, tell them the 80's want their pinstriping back!Yes, I told them I didn't want the pinstriping, but they basically said "Too bad". They've already gotten the best of me, so I'm taking them for all they're worth. I don't mind pinstriping, so I'm going to get it if I have to pay for it. I need a color that goes well with both black and gray(The bumper color).

Sounds like silver or grey would be your best choice. The color purple has meanings/symbolism for some religious/social groups.

The dealer had put stripes on my White 03 already, blue... I hated them, first day it was warm, of they came, really cheap pin striping too , I did not even need a heat gun or anything.
Anyway, if you have to get silver... But I would say after taking it off, my X looks 1000 times better!!!

Dude, there is no way they can charge you for pinstriping that isn't already on the car. They're trying to rob you. Have some balls and tell them to go fuck themselves. Seriously, tell them if they're going to charge you for that then you're walking, they're not the only Nissan dealership in the world.

It's too late to tell them I'm walking, I've already bought the vehicle. They are saying that I can't get the money deducted after the deal is already made, which is bullshit.

DON'T let them charge you for something you don't want. I agree with the other posters, the X looks better w/o pinstriping. But it is your X and your choice. Do what you want.
If they still insist on charging you $180, tell them you want to charge them $180 for the dealer badges.

See if you can get something else. Seat covers, floor mats. Anything but pin striping.

Have you taken delivery of it yet, have you given them any earnest money? Go to the top..tell them you want to speak with the GM or owner. "Fight the Power, brotherman."

Unless they have your money (which they might) deal is not already made. If they don't yet, insist or tell them your walking. Other places will match their price. If they do have your money, I'd say that a set of seat covers would look nice.
Though IMO pin striping doesn't look half bad on some. It's the principle that they threw that in so they could make another $160 off of you ($20 for time and materials)

I second the comments regarding contacting the General Manager, Nissan Corporate (they helped me when the X had to go in for a recall) and the Better Business Bureau.
I would try the GM first, but either way I would be filing a report with the BBB.

But, he said "Well, the deal is already made and we can't write any of that off!" He basically said "Too damn bad! You just paid me you little bitch!" Either way, it's like someone has already mentioned, it's not the $180 I'm worried about, it's the point behind it.

Exactly, its the point behind it. That prick isn't a man of his words. You gotta CANCEL that check bro!! Then when his boss chews him out for not making the sale on you, you tell him boss he wasnt a man of his words and he will continue to lose customers with that tactic....
I never knew what was so "sporty" or "cool" about pinstriping. To me it makes the vehicle look old and outdated.
You seriously need to cancel that check.

Indy He's exactly right. Cancel that check without waiting another second, hopefully it's not too late. Don't be, as you said, a "little bitch." Go right to the GM and tell him what's up. $180 isn't pocket change, and the principle of it is even more. Be assertive and demanding to your point. Trust me, I'm a Purchasing Agent, I deal with salesman and contracts and whatnot for a living. If you tell him your terms or you walk, he'll agree. That $180 prob goes right to his commish.

Hmm, cancelling the check.... You know as pissed as I usually get at salesmen and dealerships... yeah, I think I would probably stand in front of him while you call the bank and tell them to cancel the check. I'd take the $25 hit for the check fee. F#@% the dealerships!
Yep, then see it they can see the point behind it. AHHHH I hate them!

Ahh but that is what's great about cancelling a check! There shouldn't be a $25 fee if you cancel it. So its a win win situation for him.
I really hope he decides to cancel it because you should never ever be forced to pay for petty things like pinstriping!!!

Who was your salesman? Gary Hensley was mine. That is strage for Harrisonburg Nissan...they pride themselves on being "1st in Customer Service in VA" for 2001 and 2002. Basically, tell them you'll give them bad results on the survey. I'm sure John Booker will credit for you then.

Go eat a huge meal at your favorite fast food place, wait 4-5 hours, try anyway, then take a huge dumparo in the bathroom, and don't flush...
And when the bring the truck out for you to take, make sure to have some other license plate covers, say your favorite sports team, as the sale person to have them put on and trash the dealrones, they love that!!!
Oh and call your sttorney general office, and report the SOB, that ain't legal.

Xterrian,
That's right! I agree. I am going to cancel my Chase Mastercard tomorrow because not only do they send me those stupid advance checks(just trying to get me into more debt) to pay off other credit cards almost every other day, their sales/marketing dept. keeps calling my house telling me about more offers. So I called them up and told them to stop, they said they had a "do not call" on my profile so it should never happen again. Well, it hasn't stopped!
It's really unfortunate that they already have me as a customer(the hard part) but they don't know how to keep them! All they had to do was shutup and stop calling me! Is that really that hard??
