I`ll never go back either!

I read the similar horror story above, and I seemed to have had a similar "rip-off" situation. I leased my Mazda CX9 from these guys. When the lease was up, we loved the car so much, we decided to buy it (lease buyout). They wanted to charge me $800 to just process the paperwork!!! I`m going to take them a check for the payoff amount (residual), and for them to accept the check, on-send it to Mazda Finance,... view more process the DMV paperwork etc, will cost me $800! I said, if you`re paying someone say $50 / hour, would it would take them 16 hours to process the paperwork??? Whatever... I`m fuming, and will NEVER go back either!

Will never go back!

Saw an ad for good deal on CX9 (at a loss leader price); with the right color and options for us. It was an 08 but had almost no miles. We went in to check it out and liked it. They offered me a horrible payment based on a horrible rate for a horrible term. I?ˆ™m a tier one customer btw. Anyway, I negotiated with these guys off and on for almost a week (my wife really liked the vehicle). It was always the same s... view moretory: lower the price = raise the rate. On one occasion I even corrected a salesmgr on his numbers (glad I took my laptop). Annoyed at the ridiculous offers, I went and got my own financing which was 5 points lower than their quote and for a shorter term. I made the mistake of telling them in advance about the rate. So the next day when I went in to buy the car outright, they raised the price $2000. Needless to say, I was furious and left. Told them I will NEVER return and no one I know will EVER buy from them. Ended up at Mazda of Orange. From the get-go they were straightforward. I told them what I wanted they worked with me. Long story short, they got me an almost identical model but 2009 and for less money. My advice is have back up financing but don?ˆ™t tell them, and make sure you negotiate price not monthly payment. And stay away from these guys.
