About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hertrich Nissan of Newark and noticed something odd: the salesman’s dog kept staring intently at the showroom window, its tail wagging furiously but not barking. Curious, he walked inside only to discover that every customer who entered seemed to be drawn towards a particular used car, their eyes fixed on it as if hypnotized. Finally, someone pointed out that the car was an old model with a peculiar smell—like freshly baked cookies. The customers couldn't resist sniffing and even licking their lips before making their purchase. The delivery driver ended up buying the car himself, claiming it reminded him of his grandmother's kitchen. The legend of 'the hypnotic Nissan' became a local joke among neighbors.
2. A little boy from down the street stopped by one day and pointed excitedly at something on the roof of Hertrich Nissan of Newark. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘look! It’s moving!’ The father looked up curiously and saw nothing but a delivery driver adjusting some boxes. ‘No, son,’ he laughed gently, ‘that’s just Mr. Smith from across the street, checking our inventory.’ The boy nodded wisely, satisfied with his dad’s explanation, and walked away, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ll show him next time!’
3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into Hertrich Nissan of Newark with a peculiar request. He asked the salesman if he could test-drive one of their used cars while wearing only his socks. The salesman raised an eyebrow but agreed. As they drove down the street, everyone turned to look at the odd sight—a man in socks behind the wheel of a shiny new Nissan. When they returned, the old gentleman thanked the dealer and said, ‘I just wanted to see how well these socks hold up.’ Everyone laughed, including the salesman who thought it was quite a memorable way to sell a car.
4. One weekend, a curious tourist asked the salesman, ‘Do you ever see ghosts around here?’ The salesman smiled and replied, ‘Only when I’m showing cars to customers!’ A few weeks later, an excited delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I saw a ghost today!’ The salesman chuckled and said, ‘Really? Where was it?’ The driver pointed towards the showroom and quipped, ‘Right where you usually park your best-selling SUV.’
