Where to Buy a truck without Binding Aributration
having recently lost big time, I'm looking to buy my next truck where binding arbitration is not required. Anyone know any state, etc., where such is not required? In particular Nissan dealers.

If it was a clause in the contract and you agreed on everything else just draw a line through it, ask them to initial and date. You initial and date. If they say no just get up and walk. If they are so dishonest they won't scratch the clause the right thing to do is walk.
Have you ever actually done this? I have read about doing this, but have never done it myself or heard of anyone actually doing it.
I think you would find that happening in very rare instances when it comes to new car dealers. Dealer's "Buyers Orders", which become a legal contract when executed, are very carefully put together. The companies that print and sell the forms have a basic template for the state you operate in. Generally, the dealer's association in the state have legal council on staff who are constantly monitoring the forms for any changes in state or federal law that requires the contracts to be changed. In addition, most dealers will periodically have their own council review the form.
This becomes a very expensive process and is a result of automotive sales being very highly regulated by several government agencies. It would be a very silly dealer who would agree to make these changes for the sale of one vehicle. Through the years, I would occasionally have a young attorney who would want to make changes to the contract. I would very politely tell them I was not interested in doing so and that they were no longer eligible to buy a car from me.
