Any competent attorney will be able to put a valid counter argument against the trademark infringement claim. I really hate companies who throw their weight around like this. The dealers already paid for a real Nissan. The dealers are free to sell the used car anywhere they want provided the buyer knows that they're not buying authorized Nissan dealers.
It's not like they're passing off Hyundais with Nissan badges.
