Nissan Worker Says She 'Doesn't Have Time' To Show Car If Woman Doesn't Have $1,500 Down. Then She Learns What The Woman Came With

A dealership visit in Frisco, Texas, prompted a viral complaint after a Nissan employee allegedly refused to show a Jeep Grand Cherokee unless a shopper had at least $1,500 down. According to Lala (@ohh___lala), she said the employee told her she “doesn’t have time” to show the car and claimed it would be a “waste of time” because customers who aren’t serious are “tire-kickers.” Lala said she had $7,000 available for a down payment and later recorded the interaction after telling the employee she believed she would qualify. The article adds legal context: dealerships may ask about financing and credit, but federal law limits what can be considered once credit is involved and prohibits differential treatment based on protected traits. It cites prior FTC actions involving alleged discrimination in add-on pricing at Texas dealerships.
