I am the finacial leader of my house as well. My wife has slowly gained trust in my ability to run a tight ship at home so that we can go forward and have a little prosperity. That being said it is my duty to do the best research on large purchases whether it be a vehicle or a grill or no matter what household item. I researched trucks for more than a year and then once I decided on a path I started researching and testing the attitudes and willingness of ALL Atlanta Nissan dealers. I began to correspond with most of them through email and this went on for several weeks. As time went on some of the dealers bowed out and that was their decision as other dealers kept on pursuing my interest. Some dealers were not willing to exclude the cost of floor mats and even one said that they came with the truck and the cost was $100 case closed. So he bowed out I guess. However, three dealers kept bidding against each other until I found the price and the attitude of willingness that I liked. I had to drive an hour across Atlanta to Stone Mountain Nissan, but I give the representative and the dealership props for being very cordial through the ordeal. I know even though I came away very happy with the low price that they still made profit otherwise they wouldn't have sold it. I was cordial to them and they were cordial to me and so far I am very happy with the purchase.

In summary I had a good experience negotiating with several dealers at one time through email and came away with a pretty good price and he through in the floor mats for free which some of the other dealers proclaimed that was impossible.
