Run away. False online sticker prices used to cat-fish buyers into coming onto the lot. Bait and switch. Pedder Auto Group Temecula Nissan. Not recognized as part of the BBB. Currently facing lawsuits for fraud, false advertising, hidden fees, illegal repossession, etc. Found New Old Stock 2025 Nissan Altima 2.5 S with 80 miles online for approx $18K. We drove up on a Sunday but did not have a promissory note financing from our banks. We told our Salesman, Kevin, who has been on staff for a week that we were interested, wanted to put money down to hold the car. Kevin asked Manager, but would not hold without making an offer. Secured outside financing with USAA and NFCU. On Monday, daughter, Lilly, found poor reviews due to lawsuits listed at beginning of this review. Lilly got cold feet. Found negative reviews and lawsuits for Pedder Auto Group especially in Hemet. We discussed on Monday, thought perhaps all the shady sales were limited to Hemet and decided on Tuesday to make an offer. Kevin not available, family emergency, so he handed us off to Logan who has been on staff for a month. Logan explained we could only get online price if we finance through Nissan. This was the first we heard of this, especially since we were clear to Kevin we were securing financing through our bank. Lilly was trying to make an offer. Logan did not listen to Lilly until I, her father in my 50s, stepped in and explained Logan is not answering her questions. Logan went to the back to get help and Isaiah came back to show how the prices would be different if we were to use financing through our bank. We asked for a breakdown of how an online ad for $18K could be offered for MSRP $28.8K and reduced to $25K ($7K more than online ad). Isaiah went in back and Jose, a manager who was recently hired in the past few days, came back to show us the breakdown explaining $28.8K MSRP minus $3K additional accessories GPS and anti-theft (already installed and not requested by buyer) $5K Nissan rebate minus $4K dealer incentive (approx values). The $4K dealer incentives included $500 military, $500 recent college graduate, $1500 trade-in and the remaining customer cash for financing with Nissan. Lilly asked to speak to the manager for false online sticker price with all-possible incentives to a specific niche military college grad. Sammy, the senior dealership manager who just got hired tried to show online fine print to justify their false advertising. Lilly stopped Sammy when he explained how we would be charged extra for GPS and Anti-theft that were already installed and that we did not request. Lilly said this was the same tactics used by Hemet, that it was illegal. Lilly asked for proof in writing how it is legal to charge for additional accessory not requested by the buyer. Sonny stood up, says if she keeps saying illegal or using the legal word, then he can no longer talk with us. We expressed our disappointment that we were catfished lured in to an unrealistic car price. Bottom line, Nissan rebates lower the taxable price, but dealer incentives do not. Sonny got down to about $24K out the door, $6K more than the $18k online with taxes, title, fees, additional accessories and no military or college graduate rebates. Since getting back home, before closing tonight, Pedder Nissan Temecula has now listed an additional six more 2025 Nissan Altimas 2.5 S with online prices ranging from $18k to $24K. This is an obvious move to cover their rear in case we report these findings. Now they can say they offered a range of online prices and that they are justified. Run away. Shady. Hidden Fine Print. read more
