Back in the early 90s I bought a Nissan new. I ordered the new 1800 model( standard was 1500). When it was ready I collected it and drive it the 50 miles home, thinking this thing is gutless, hope it loosens up over time. Arrived home, got out the handbook to learn where everything was, and first thing I noticed was the dipstick wasn't in the place shown for the 1800. Checked the tyre size, oh they were the smaller ones for the 1500. There was no badge on the back mentioning engine size by the way.It was too late at night by then to ring the dealership , so I had a sleepless night worrying about how to resolve this in the morning. They said,without any apology, being it back straight away, so I returned it with 100 miles on the clock and they gave me a loaner from their used car fleet and said they would have the correct car in 2 weeks. I then proceeded to put 3500 miles on the loaner in that time visiting my most distant customers, until one morning I received a call telling, not asking, me to come right away to pick up my new car. I said that I was in a meeting and I would get there that afternoon. An hour later another insistent call from the dealer which I was dismissive of.After my meeting I skipped lunch and drove to pick up my new car. The wrongly supplied car was in the showroom, clock wound back to zero, number plates removed, and being sold as new. They went ape sh...t to me about the miles out on the loaner, as they had sold it and the customer had been there waiting for it for a couple of hours.I told them very loudly to wind back the clock like they had done to the wrongly supplied car. Anyway I got my 1800, and it performed faultlessly for the 100,000 miles I put on it in the 3 years that I had it .
