I will post an update Monday after someone speaks with the owner, but here are the facts as it happened. 

An older gentleman purchased a 2015 Nissan Frontier, SV trim package, with 6023 miles on it, marked used by the dealer for a base price of $32,949.00.  After taxes, fee's, a warranty and GAP (which he REALLY needed), he financed $38,929.70.  I was about to look up KBB when he hands me the window sticker that was in the glove compartment. The original window sticker had a MSRP of $24,630 + 135.00 (floor mats) and $865.00(destination charge) for a total of $25,650.

He had no trade in, so it was not like he was upside down on a trade in. My question for Nissan,(and probably his attorney's) is how can a used vehicle with 6K miles, be worth $7,299 more than when it was brand new? What is included in that base price. 

Now opinion:

My personal opinion is they took advantage of this 80+ year old man who was hard of hearing.

When you consider he should of paid AT LEAST $2500.00 below original sticker on a used vehicle that new, they got him for about $10,000.......plus it appears there were 2 $500.00 incentives they kept and did not tell him about.  I could not find in the paperwork they were used.

Sure hope there's a better explanation/senario about this.  I'd really hate to think they took advantage of an 80+ year old person (that was hard of hearing).  As technology leapfrogs at a constantly faster rate, I know from experience that some/many older folks are having to trust others for how/what/where, and taking advantage of that makes my rattlers start up.

definitely something very fishy about that.  I just got into a brand new 2016 toyota tundra with some bells and whistles and financed for the exact amount (within $100-$200), albeit with $2000 in trade.  I find it hard to believe that a moderately loaded 2016 Toyota Tundra with 8 miles on it is only worth $2000 more than a 2015 Nissan mid-size truck with 6000 miles on it.

I'm waiting for the gentleman to come by and tell me the outcome. They screwed up when they left the original window sticker in the used vehicle.

You will not be disappointed on your Tundra. I really miss mine!! The only negative I can say about that truck is it LOVES gas......

I have a sneaking suspicion which Silsbee dealership did this, if it is the same one that I went around with about 10 years ago.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆

      Smith is 78-31 overall and 18-8 in the playoffs. His first three years he went 23-15 overall and 6-3 in playoffs. His Silsbee teams are averaging making 3rd round every year in his 9 years as head coach.
