That appears to be for cars. Here's what I found for motorcycles:
It's still outdated - where are the 2025 regs - who knows ?
Double!
They would only charge $100 or $120 for the safety
Or maybe they just haven't informed all the staff of the labour hours change for them and someones still quoting the old rate. Or they're doing you a solid and discounting it or something since you're looking at buying another car there.
A shop discounting labour rates? Surely you jest.Or maybe they just haven't informed all the staff of the labour hours change for them and someones still quoting the old rate. Or they're doing you a solid and discounting it or something since you're looking at buying another car there.
If the package makes financial sense to the dealer, why not? The cynic in me questions whether they require the safety there as they always find a grand in billable items.A shop discounting labour rates? Surely you jest.
Whatcha buying to replace the Rogue?Very possible. Sales guys claims to be at this dealer for 11 years. I would assume he is up to date but who knows. We dealt with him 4 years ago (somehow I don't remember him).
Either way, we are not buying the car out so I won't find out. Ill let them deal with it once I bring it back and go into a new one.
In years of many vehicles and many motos with many service I can honestly say getting a dealer to budge on the shop rate was nigh impossible. They'd rather give you a free jacket, keychain or discount on the product then cut the shop rate.If the package makes financial sense to the dealer, why not?

In this case, it may not be a cut shop rate. It could be "inspection for buyout $120" flat rate. As part of that, maybe they are supposed to find another $1000 that needs done so shop and mechanic both make four+ hours for two hours work.In years of many vehicles and many motos with many service I can honestly say getting a dealer to budge on the shop rate was nigh impossible.

Most likely (99.99%) going into another Rogue.Whatcha buying to replace the Rogue?
I paid $250 for a VW dealer safety on my GTI. Dealer said it MUST be done there, and for 50-75$ I didn’t feel like arguing.
My friend has had 3 Nissans, current one is a '16? Rogue. All have been disasters...we give him **** but I guess he's a glutton for punishment.Most likely (99.99%) going into another Rogue.
Not very exciting as the 2025 model is no different then our 2021.
Minor face lift of the grill, slightly bigger infotainment screen and interior color slight different then our current. Exterior color is the same.
At this point I don't really care what we get as long as it is reliable and it make financial sense.
Out of all the cars in this class, this ones makes most sense.
They are offering a $1500 off as an incentive. Typically they would only offer $500 for returning customers + $500 for this months promo. This sales guy is throwing in another $500 off. He is also offering to throw in third-party running boards. They typically sell for $1400. Very inflated but I will take them for free.
The biggest difference between the Nissan and other brands is the % on the lease terms. Nissan is offering 2.9% while Toyota, KIA and some others are at %6.69 for similar vehicle class.
Honda just (like tonight ) dropped their % on a lease of the CRV to 3.99% while it was at 6.69% during the day.
The additional bonus going into the same car is that we already have the accessories that I would need to buy should it be a different car.
Hitch, hitch wiring, roof cross bars, winter floor mats.
A friend turned in their leased rogue recently. Buyout on it was absolutely insane. It would have been far cheaper to turn it in and buy it off the floor than to trigger the buyout clause. They had no issues with it but I have zero love for anything nissan (other than GTR and some of their vintage stuff).My friend has had 3 Nissans, current one is a '16? Rogue.

Its almost as if the different departments at a dealer operate as different companies, and compete against each other.In years of many vehicles and many motos with many service I can honestly say getting a dealer to budge on the shop rate was nigh impossible.

You see the same thing in corporations, each department has things they do and do not care about.Its almost as if the different departments at a dealer operate as different companies, and compete against each other.
I get it, each one has a manager that is in charge of that department and they need to make their numbers. Why is the service manager going to offer free service or lowered shop rate to the sales department. What's in it for him.
However, to the general customer, they are dealing with the dealer, the one roof. Not each department separately.
Back in 2010 or 2011 when we leased our first car, Honda CRV at Meadowvale Honda, owned by the Dilawri Group (let me know if you need me to drop more name so you can avoid them) they leased the car to us without disclosing "transport damage".
White car with a pearl white finish had a driver side fender replaced/repaired and of course repainted. I did not notice this at the dealer as we were rushed picking it up. They were late in getting it ready and we needed to get going. Once we got home it was quite noticeable on a sunny day. Under the hood it was also evident that something must have been done as not all the pieces on the driver side were assembled the same way as on the passenger side. Not a factory install.
When we went in to ask them about it, they first denied it and did not want to own up to it. Somehow the service manager was able to dig up its history and yes it went out for a repair.
Long story short, we caused a $hite show in there and threatened them with a bunch of stuff. They weren't really phased by it.
I asked for free oil change service etc and free roof rack cross bars. They agreed to the cross bars but no way in hell would they agree to the free oil change service. They said that's a service department and the sales department can't offer that.

We are on our 2nd Nissan Rogue and most likely going into the 3rd.A friend turned in their leased rogue recently. Buyout on it was absolutely insane.

Yup, its how business rolls.You see the same thing in corporations, each department has things they do and do not care about.
Guys in Finance could care less what i was buying, where it was from or when it would get here, what was the cost? I couldn't care less about cost, i wanted it here asap.
