Previously we have heard the news that Amazon sold some Nissan Versa Notes, which were shipped to the buyers’ residence in a giant Amazon box.

Now here comes another opportunity that you can buy another Nissan vehicle through Amazon’s help, and get a $1,000 Amazon.com gift card.

This time is the 2014 Nissan Rogue. Amazon act as a lead generator: you use Amazon to notify your local dealership your purchase intention, and you go through all the back and forth negotiation, buy or lease the Rogue (you need to do this within 14 days after you submitting your info through Amazon.com).

If you have doubt, you can find out all the part numbers related to your car, and go to the dealership to check each parts’ individual price. Then you add them together, and you will find the total sum will be much higher than your car’s MSRP.

This is an exotic design, for example, the below image shows the LFA’s torque tube.

But please do not misunderstand that this is a requirement for a good sports car...
