I too was suspicious about a lot of these 5 star reviews by people that hadn't reviewed anything before but clearly this dealership as a different way of doing things. I had gone to 5 other Nissan dealerships, each one seemingly more slimy than the last and here's how my experience at Regal was different than the others...
Dealership 1: Puny selection, both the sales manager and the salesperson were "new" and it showed. Were't really in the mood to deal.

Dealership 2: Puny selection, tons of junk fees like mandatory window tint, multiple protection packages and lifetime nitrogen and had to finance with them. They wouldn't budge on any of that and the salesman had a bad attitude and treated me like I was a waste of his time when I was leaving.

Dealership 3: Also small selection. Spent hours getting them to finally remove the junk fees and then I got a little turned off by some of their lies and pressure to buy a truck that wasn't really the one I wanted.

Dealership 4: Endless telemarketing by people that weren't at the dealership, kept asking the same questions, selection was very poor and the salesman pretty much told me to get lost. The inside of their dealership also was not very nice.

Dealership 5: Advertised a truck for $40k then when you call up they tell you the price is $68k then told lie after lie about why they're advertising it for a lower price. Regal nissan's price on that same truck, only $50-something by the way.

Dealership 6: Regal Nissan.... They didn't try any junk fees on me. Didn't tell me a bunch of lies. They offered me a really great price on my trade in, they came down a lot on the sticker price without it taking all day, the salesman was knowledgable (although I wish he would have shown off more of the features) and their inventory was like all of the previous dealerships combined. They didn't force me to finance through them or finance it at all. Their finance manager was excellent and she shopped the rate around. Everything was very straight forward and she made it easy to understand and did a great job explaining everything and giving me time to read through everything carefully. They also paid off my loan on my trade in within half the time they said it would take. I was a little worried about that.

So I'm feeling exactly the way every car dealer wants their customers to feel. Which is that I love my new truck, I feel like I made out like a bandit on the price and trade, and despite spending more money than I had planned to, I feel like a got a great value.

I'm glad I drove 2 hours to get to Regal not knowing if it was going to be any better experience than the others. I almost didn't. Of course, all of this is subject to change. YMMV. Good luck!
