Just received a letter in the mail the other day announcing that Nissan Darien is closing its doors effective 12/31/14. The letter states "We have taken this action due to the difficult nature of our relationship with Nissan". It then refers current customers to Bruce Bennett Nissan, Paul Miller Nissan and Nissan City of Portchester.

They just redid the entire building a few years ago in the Nissan corporate scheme. So it will be interesting to see if a new owner will try to maintain it as a Nissan dealership or whether it will become something else.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

That's quite a shock...although the club hasn't had a gathering there for quite some time, we did have plenty of great meetings and other events there in our early years.

I wish all the principals and employees at Nissan Darien nothing but the best.

Will they remain a Jaguar / Land Rover dealer?

If they shut down the Nissan business, someone needs to get close to the parts dept. to see if they discover NOS stuff not carried on the books. Its happened before.

Hi Jim,

Good point! I'll keep my ears op[en for any such opportunity. This is a dealer that just opened in 2008 so unfortunately there wouldn't be any first series treasurers on their shelves. I'm still convinced that there is a nice complete set of Black Pearl stripes on someone's shelves out there.

Phil,

They bailed on Jaguar a few years ago. I'm not sure if they will be giving up the Range Rover business.

Take care guys
